Major League Fishing unveils 2025 Toyota Series Schedule

Lake Eufaula to host May 1 -3

Major League Fishing (MLF) today announced the schedule for the 2025 Toyota Series Presented by Phoenix Boats, which kicks off in early February at Pickwick Lake in Florence, Alabama, and concludes in early November with the Toyota Series Championship on Grand Lake in Grove, Oklahoma.

“We live and breathe fishing in Grove, Oklahoma, and to host a world-class championship of this caliber with international anglers from around the world is an honor,” said Brent Malone, Grove Convention and Tourism Director. “Our town is super excited for the 2025 Toyota Series Championship that will be held at Wolf Creek Park. We have hosted thousands of tournaments, but when MLF comes to town, we roll out the red carpet. We will be ready and prepared to make everyone feel at home in our won- derful community.”

Offering the biggest payouts for the lowest entry fees of any national tournament trail, the Toyota Series Presented by Phoenix Boats provides anglers the opportunity to fish close to home for lucrative awards and advancement to the nationally televised Toyota Series Championship, where pros compete for a top prize of up to $235,000, including a $35,000 Phoenix MLF Bonus, and Strike King c o-anglers compete for a $33,500 Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat powered by a 115-horsepower outboard motor.

In addition, the winning pro at the Toyota Series Championship earns an invitation to compete in REDCREST 2026 – the Bass Pro Tour championship – for the chance to win $300,000.

“We’re wrapping up a stellar season on the Toyota Series and are excited to announce our 2025 schedule,” said MLF Toyota Series Tournament Director Mark McWha. “Next year’s lineup promises to offer many exciting opportunities for anglers and a return to some of their favorite locations. We’re confident that the 2025 season will bring even more competitive and memorable experiences for both our participants and fans.”

As part of its ongoing efforts to focus on key growth areas, MLF will suspend the Toyota Series Western Division in 2025 and expand its Phoenix Bass Fishing League (BFL) schedule with six additional Regionals serving its 24 BFL divisions. The 2025 Bass Fishing League will include 12 Regionals, up from six in 2024, to drastically reduce travel requirements for qualifying anglers. More information on the BFL expansion will be announced soon.

MLF is committed to providing compelling tournament options for all anglers and will evaluate opportunities to return to the West with something new in 2026.

Full program rules and details for the 2025 MLF Toyota Series will be announced later this year.
