Since 1932
Since 1932, the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo has grown into the world’s largest event of its kind, enriching the lives of Texans for generations.

With ticketed and free events for everyone, the fun starts early! For more information on pre-rodeo events please click here.
Rodeo Houston Super Series
The Rodeo Houston Super Series is a 20-day, tournament-style rodeo competition featuring the best in bareback riding, bull riding, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, tie-down roping, team roping, and women’s barrel racing and breakaway roping. I love seeing all of the cowboys and cowgirls go out there and give it all they got. Their hard work and dedication is an inspiration. With a total payout of $2,533,500, each event champion walks away with $65,000, plus round winnings, a custom saddle and buckle, and an invitation to return. As an official PRCA NFR money event, Rodeo Houston plays a vital role in determining qualification for the National Finals Rodeo and the PRCA World Standings. It’s a must-see event where everything truly is bigger in Texas. For more information on Rodeo Houston please click here.
