PBR Teams Bring the Heat

For those unfamiliar with the PBR Teams format, this unique and innovative setup reimagines traditional bull riding. Once a solo showdown between bull and rider, the sport now brings together the toughest athletes from around the world to compete as 10 teams in a head‑to‑head, contender‑style tournament where one team ultimately claims the championship. Each team fields five riders per match, with the highest combined score determining the winner.

Throughout the season, every team hosts its own “Homestead” event, along with several additional events across the country. With five matches per event day, 175 total over the season, the action is nonstop. Everything culminates November 6th-8th at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where teams battle through a bracket‑style championship to crown the season’s best.

Who is the Nashville Stampede?

Earning the title of first‑ever PBR Teams Champion in 2022, the Nashville Stampede are no strangers to the championship circle. Led by two‑time PBR World Champion Justin McBride and three‑time PBR World Champion Silvano Alves, the Stampede is built from hand‑selected athletes who embody the highest level of bull‑riding talent, athleticism, and grit. Their 2026 protected roster features Daylon Swearingen, Ky Hamilton, Alan De Souza, Cody Jesus, Daniel Feitosa, Gustavo Luiz, Rogério Venâncio, and Riquelmi Silva.

Currently sitting at #7 in the standings, the Nashville Stampede are primed to shake up the competition as they bring the buck back to home turf in Nashville, Tennessee, for the fifth annual Nashville Stampede Days.

“From the east to west, tougher than the rest, way out in the lead. You can try to catch them, but you’ll never get ’em. STAMPEDE!”
