While some locations have changed, the 2025 Professional Women's Bowling Association (PWBA) Tour season matches the 2024 season with 12 title events scheduled in eight cities.[1] These include eight standard singles title events, three major title events, and one mixed doubles event. Final rounds of the season's three majors (USBC Queens,[2] U.S. Women's Open[3] and PWBA Tour Championship) will be broadcast on national television (CBS Sports Network), as will the PWBA Anniversary Open.[1] All other events are broadcast on BowlTV, the USBC’s YouTube channel.

Two of the Tour stops feature three events each. The PWBA Summer Series – Cleveland had three events between May 28 and June 2.[4] The PWBA Tour Championship Week in August begins with two standard, open events. The third event, the PWBA Tour Championship major, has a 24-player starting field composed of all the season’s title winners, plus the top season points-earners among non-winners.[5]

The finals of the PWBA Anniversary Open were conducted in the Resch Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin in front of 6,559 fans — a record for a PWBA event. (The 2011 U.S. Women's Open was held in Cowboys Stadium in front of 8,017 fans, but that was during the PWBA's hiatus.)[6]
