Live from Charles County, Maryland, with 12 Two-Man Teams Competing for $560,000 Total

DENVER – Watch the 2026 Major League Fishing (MLF) Starlink Team Series Bass Pro Shops Patriot Cup Presented by B&W Hitches, now streaming live on GAME & FISH TV, powered by Outdoor Sportsman Group. This first Cup event of 2026, Aug. 16-21, is being held in Charles County, Maryland, and is hosted by the Charles County Department of Recreation, Parks, and Tourism. The Starlink Team Series features four Cup events – the Patriot, Heritage, Challenge and Summit Cups – each showcasing 12 two-man teams of Bass Pro Tour anglers competing for a share of the $560,000 in prize money across all four events.

MLF Cup rules placed a moratorium on fishing any waters within 60 miles of Charles County, Maryland, once the location was revealed to competing anglers in early July. The actual fishing waters for each day of the competition are kept secret until the anglers arrive at the boat ramp each morning, and then their officials take them directly to the day's competition area launch ramp.

GAME & FISH TV's MLF Live coverage will air from 2:30-5:00 p.m. ET, bringing viewers both Knockout Rounds (Wednesday, 8/19, and Thursday, 8/20) as well as the Championship Round (Friday, 8/21). Viewers will have the opportunity to witness firsthand every team strategy and technique, and every fish caught, during the height of Cup competition.
