On June 2, 2026, Barstool Sports officially confirmed a prize money increase for its upcoming 20. On Pardon My Take, the crew is gearing up for their own internal competitions and content streams. PFT Commenter highlighted the return of their annual Golden Mug competition, noting that "Golden Mug is starting on Wednesday, June 10th." The event will run through Friday, complete with product giveaways and streams from the Chicago HQ.
Beyond the official tournament announcements, the hosts shed some light on the company's internal sports culture. PFT Commenter joked about the soccer fandom within the office, revealing that "... we got a secret little, uh, US Men's National Team group chat at Barstool Sports, uh-" to keep track of the squad.
Meanwhile, the classic blog drama continues to churn. Big Cat pointed listeners directly to the site to read up on Rico Bosco's latest public write-up regarding players and Carbone, telling the audience, "I mean, it's publicly available information. You can read it on barstoolsports.com."
With the prize money bump and a packed June streaming schedule, Barstool Sports is leaning heavily into its Chicago-based crew to drive summer engagement. Whether the secret group chats or the public blog beefs take center stage next, the brand's relentless content engine shows no signs of slowing down.
