Major League Fishing (MFL) is heading to Beaver Lake April 30-May 3, 2026, for Stage 5 of the 2026 Bass Pro Tour Season. Hosted by Destination Rogers, the event will showcase a field of 51 of the world’s top professional bass anglers competing for the sport’s largest payouts – including a top prize of $150,000 at Beaver Lake.

“Rogers is thrilled to welcome the MLF Bass Pro Tour to Beaver Lake in 2026,” said J.R. Shaw, Executive Director for Destination Rogers. “Outdoor recreation in Arkansas fuels our state’s economy, and events like this support small businesses and bring great awareness to Rogers and Northwest Arkansas as a premier outdoor recreation destination. Destination Rogers looks forward to partnering with the Major League Fishing staff and community in hosting this prestigious tournament.”

The event will mark the first time that the MLF Bass Pro Tour has visited Beaver Lake. The historic fishery last hosted a major professional-level bass tournament in 2017, and until that point had been an annual stop on the FLW Tour. FLW was purchased by MLF in 2019, and this event marks the league’s much-anticipated return to Beaver Lake.

Livestream the action on MFLNOW! and attend the MLF Fishing Show May 2-3 at Bass Pro Shops  (2300 S Promenade Blvd., Rogers, Arkansas).
