The third Major League Fishing (MLF) Fishing Clash Team Series Presented by Bass Pro Shops event of the 2025 season is set to take place from Oct. 22-27, in Oxford, Alabama – the Folds of Honor Patriot Cup Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches.
Hosted by the City of Oxford, the Folds of Honor Patriot Cup Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches is the third of four Fishing Clash Team series events in 2025. In keeping with traditional MLF Cup protocols, Oxford, Alabama, was not revealed to Team Series competitors until six weeks prior to the start of the tournament. All fishable waters within 60 miles of Oxford then went off limits to anglers. Fans watching the MLFNOW! livestream will find out the day’s competition waters right along with the anglers each morning.
"The City of Oxford is excited to welcome Major League Fishing as our city is honored to play host to the Fishing Clash Team Series next week, Oct. 22-27,” said Oxford Mayor Alton Craft. “The Patriot Cup features 12 two-man teams of Bass Pro Tour anglers competing with the unique element of daily surprise fishing locations, which provide an exciting and family-friendly program featuring one of our area’s favorite sports – fishing. We look forward to Oxford not only being a backdrop for this great event, but also for MLF to become intertwined with our city’s character and spirit.”
For the second consecutive season, Folds of Honor was named the title sponsor of the Folds of Honor Patriot Cup Presented by B&W Trailer Hitches, reinforcing the organization’s mission at the intersection of sport and service. Since 2007, Folds of Honor has provided life-changing scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled military and first responders, ensuring that sacrifice is met with opportunity. The partnership is a natural fit, uniting Folds of Honor’s spirit of patriotism and purpose with MLF’s dedication to competition, community and giving back.
