Bassmaster fishing tournaments are set to stream live on The Roku Channel, thanks to a new deal between Roku and Bassmaster. Although The Roku Channel offers access to both paid and free content, the deal ensures a wide selection of professional bass fishing content will be available to watch for free.
As part of the deal, users of The Roku Channel can expect access to action from the brand-new Elite Qualifiers (EQ) Series, five Bassmaster Open Series events, select coverage of all nine Bassmaster Elite Series events, Friday coverage of the Bassmaster Classic, and a special primetime production of the Bassmaster Classic Celebrity Pro-Am.
“It’s an honor to call Roku the streaming home of Bassmaster, an iconic brand with a decades-spanning history of producing best-in-class professional fishing tournaments,” said Joe Franzetta, Head of Sports, Roku Media. “We look forward to bringing these events for free to the passionate fanbase of this top outdoor sport, as well as introducing Bassmaster to new audiences, expanding the tournaments’ reach to millions of streaming households in the U.S.”
The first of the events available to watch live will take place later this week, with coverage of the 2025 Bassmaster Elite Series season on Feb. 20.
“We are proud to bring so much live programming to Roku’s fast-growing sports channel, and we’re very excited about the creation of a new outlet for posted video content, on a dedicated Bassmaster FAST channel on Roku. It’s thrilling to have one of the first streaming-rights partnerships in outdoor sports and the first for professional fishing on America’s #1 streaming platform,” said B.A.S.S. COO Phillip Johnson. “This partnership will allow Bassmaster to bring our exciting coverage of the highest level of professional bass fishing to Roku’s enormous audience and introduce our sport to a new fan base.”
As a reminder, The Roku Channel is available to stream on a variety of platforms and devices, including Roku players and TVs. This is in addition to select third-party platforms, including Amazon Fire TV, Samsung TV, and Android TV/Google TV.
Those without a supported device can also watch The Roku Channel for free through the website on devices with access to a supported web browser.
