Toughest Sport on Dirt

Known as the “Toughest Sport on Dirt,” Professional Bull Riding (PBR) has made its mark on the sporting world since 1992. Proving a great success standalone from rodeo, PBR has become one of the most highly televised sporting events. Having transformed from humble beginnings as a shared vision of 20 bull riders who wished to expand from the traditional rodeo scene, PBR has become a mainstream sporting phenomenon, taking America and beyond by storm.

Evolving

PBR continues to entertain fans across the globe as the sport of bull riding evolves. With the 2024 PBR Camping World Series in full swing, bull riding has transformed from one cowboy vs. one bull to a full team event, bringing the best bull riders and toughest bulls together to represent their team as they fight for the title of PBR Teams Champion.

How Do PBR Teams Work?

Like other sports, each PBR team represents a specific city or state. Composed of 7 “protected roster” riders and up to 5 “reserve riders” per team, each team is carefully selected from a roster of the world’s best bull riders. With 12 games throughout the season, riders and bulls vie for the highest scores possible. The season will culminate in a championship at the T-Moblie Arena in Las Vegas on Oct. 18th-20th, 2024.
