Good to knowLIVE STREAM FAQ
Does buying a PPV pass still enter me in a sweepstakes?
Yes. Drawing 1, the Average Joe Angler drawing for a spot in the tournament, closed August 20, 2026. Drawing 2 is still open through [D2 DATE].
Every PPV pass purchased before that date can enter you to win a 2026 ATV, a beach getaway to San Juan, a 2-day guided fishing trip, or a 3-day alligator hunting getaway, as long as you accept the terms at checkout. No purchase necessary. See official rules here.
I entered before the August 20 deadline. What happens now?
Your Drawing 1 entry is in. Two (2) winners will earn a spot fishing alongside the sport's best anglers at The Champions on Old Hickory Lake.
Winners will be drawn and contacted directly at the email address used at checkout, so keep an eye on your inbox and your spam folder. We'll post the announcement on this page as well.
Your pass also enters you in Drawing 2, which stays open through [D2 DATE], so you're still in the running for the ATV and trip packages.
What is included with the PPV pass?
Full live coverage of all five days: Media Day, Opening Ceremonies, three days of tournament competition on Old Hickory Lake, and the Pro-Am on November 1. Plus multi-angle live cameras, weigh-in coverage, real-time leaderboard (with a Championship Day twist), instant replays, and expert commentary.
What is different about the leaderboard on Championship Day?
Through Day 1 and Day 2 the leaderboard runs live in real time. On Championship Day the scores are hidden until the final weigh-in, so PPV viewers get to watch the tournament decided live on the stage.
Is the Pro-Am available anywhere else?
No. The Pro-Am on November 1 is exclusive to the PPV pass. It is the only public broadcast of the Top 15 anglers competing with celebrity partners at Sander's Ferry Park.
Can I watch on multiple devices?
Yes. One PPV pass covers TV, laptop, tablet, and phone.
How is the PPV sweepstakes different from the Merchandise sweepstakes?
They are two separate promotions and you can enter both. The PPV sweepstakes: buy a PPV pass to enter Drawing 2 for a 2026 ATV, a beach getaway, a guided fishing trip, or an alligator hunting getaway, ends [D2 DATE].
The Merchandise boat sweepstakes: shop the Merch Store to earn entries, prize is a Ranger Z521R boat plus $12,000 cash (Total ERV $84,480), ends September 20, 2026.
When do broadcasts go live?
Coverage begins Wednesday, October 28, 2026 with Media Day and Opening Ceremonies. Full schedule runs through Sunday, November 1, 2026 with the Pro-Am. A full schedule of events will be emailed to you prior to Tournament week with all the details so you don't miss a moment.
Are replays available after the event?
Yes. Your PPV pass includes replays of each day and event, so you can catch anything you missed and rewatch the moments you loved.
