While some locations have changed, the 2026 Professional Women's Bowling Association (PWBA) Tour season matched the 2025 season with 12 title events scheduled in eight cities. These included eight standard singles title events, three major title events, and one mixed doubles event. Final rounds of the season's first two majors (USBC Queens and U.S. Women's Open) were broadcast on national television. All other events were broadcast on BowlTV, the USBC's YouTube channel.
Two of the Tour stops featured three events each. The PWBA Summer Series – Rochester (held in nearby Gates, New York) had three events between May 27 and June 1. The PWBA Tour Championship Week in August began with two standard, open events. The third event, the PWBA Tour Championship major, had a 24-player starting field comprising all the season's title winners, plus the top season points-earners among non-winners.
