The Sport Fishing Championship regular season will head to Florida for the Fourth of July weekend.
The Pensacola Billfish Release Tournament will mark the start of the second half of the 2025 campaign, as three events have been completed on both the Atlantic Division and Gulf Division calendars. The Third Coast Renegades currently lead all clubs with 10,000 points and will attempt to widen the gap in “The Sunshine State.”
With only three events remaining in each division, performances over the next two months will determine which clubs secure spots in the Zane Grey Championship Playoffs. How will the standings look after another intense competition?
Here is everything you need to know about the Pensacola Billfish Release Tournament, including how to watch the SFC event.
