September 8, 2020 (Tulsa, Okla.) Major League Fishing (MLF) announced today that Federal Ammunition has signed on as a sponsor of 2021 MLF Cup events, which begin taping later this month. As the number one television program on Outdoor Channel for the last five years, the MLF Cup events offer Federal an extensive reach with an invested outdoor audience. MLF Cup events feature four television-exclusive events, which premiere on Outdoor Channel January 2, 2021 and playout over 26 weeks through June.

“We are excited to welcome Federal to the MLF sponsor family,” said Jim Wilburn, MLF President and CEO. “As the number one show on Outdoor Channel, their sponsorship aligns the Federal ammo brand with the strongest fishing audience in television. Research shows that anglers hunt and shoot, which puts them in front of an audience of buyers each episode.”

“Federal is excited about partnering with Major League Fishing,” says Federal Ammunition’s Media Director Brian Kelvington.  “Data shows us anglers and fans of the premiere bass fishing series are also hunters and shooters and this is a great opportunity for increased exposure to Federal Ammunition and our innovative products with this passionate audience.”

About the MLF Cup Events

The MLF Cup events are the number one show in both first and second quarters on Outdoor Channel since 2016. Each of four MLF Cup events – Challenge Cup, Heritage Cup, Patriot Cup, and Summit Cup – feature 30 MLF professional anglers in a six-day event, filmed without fans and premiered on television exclusively. Competitors fish with no advance notice of the fishery and must make on-the-spot decisions to earn minimum daily weights to advance to the next round. The 2021 MLF Cup events will film in late 2020 and early 2021, premiering January 3, 2021 on Outdoor Channel. Fans can set their DVR to record “Major League Fishing” or subscribe to MyOutdoorTV to catch all the action.
