BPL set for new era with expressions of interest for new teams
The Bowls Premier League (BPL) is set to undergo a transformation that will herald a new era for the sport’s premier broadcast product, with a planned expansion to 12 teams, as Bowls Australia call for expressions of interest for the two new licensees.
The BPL will move to a 12-team model effective from its next November 2024 edition.
BA launched the BPL in 2013, to showcase a new and exciting format of the sport of bowls, and to enable opportunities to showcase and raise the profiles of the world’s best bowlers, clubs, organisations, partners and host venues.
Alongside the existing ten licensees, BA is proud of the significant role the BPL has played in showcasing the sport’s greatest attributes and is excited about the future evolution of the product under an expanded 12-team model.
BA invite Clubs, Organsations and Businesses around Australia and internationally to express their interest in joining the BPL as a new licensee from November 2024, for at least a two year / four event period through to February 2026, as the competition expands from ten to 12 teams.

Expressions of interest should be directed to Bowls Australia’s Bowls Australia’s Chief Executive Officer Matthew Kennedy via mkennedy@bowls.com.au by no later than 5pm AEDT Monday, April 8, 2024.
