PBR Teams Championship Brings the Action to Las Vegas. But the Weekend Doesn’t Stop at T-Mobile Arena.

Las Vegas is already known for big weekends, but when the PBR Teams Championship rolls into town November 6–8, 2026, fans have another reason to pack their boots, pick a team, and make a full weekend out of it.

The 2026 PBR Teams Championship returns to T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, bringing all 10 PBR Teams together for the final battle of the season. The championship will use an elimination tournament format, with the top three teams earning a bye into Day 2 before the field narrows to determine the 2026 champion.

But for PBR fans, the competition inside the arena is only part of the experience.

If you’re heading to Vegas for the championship, plan to arrive early, stay through Sunday, and take advantage of the PBR experiences happening throughout the city. From team arrivals and fan experiences to a new PBR destination at South Point and parties at Ole Red, this can be much more than a few hours at T-Mobile Arena.

Start the Weekend With the PBR Team Red Carpet Arrivals

Before the competition gets underway, fans can get a closer look at the athletes and teams during the PBR Team Red Carpet Arrivals.

It’s a chance to see the stars of PBR Teams outside the arena and kick off championship weekend surrounded by fellow fans. For anyone traveling to Las Vegas specifically for PBR Teams, this is the kind of experience that can turn a regular trip into a true championship weekend. Bring your camera, wear your team colors, and get ready for the energy of having the league’s top teams in one city.

Get Up Close With the PBR Bull Trailer

Bull riding fans know that the bulls are just as much a part of the story as the riders.

During championship weekend, fans can also experience the PBR Bull Trailer, bringing another piece of the PBR experience outside the arena and giving fans an opportunity to get closer to the sport they came to see. It’s another reason to give yourself time to explore rather than simply arriving for the main event and heading home afterward.

Check Out the New PBR Bar at South Point

Another stop to add to the weekend itinerary is the new PBR Bar at South Point.

South Point has a long connection with professional bull riding and remains an important part of the PBR scene in Las Vegas. During championship weekend, it gives fans another place to keep the PBR energy going away from T-Mobile Arena.

For visitors looking to build a weekend around the championship, South Point can easily become part of the itinerary, whether you’re grabbing a drink, meeting up with friends, or continuing the PBR experience between events. PBR fans can also look into championship-related accommodations at South Point, including a 2026 PBR Teams Championship package that includes three nights, transportation, and premium lower-level club tickets.

Pick Your Team! Then Sit With Your Crew

One of the biggest differences between PBR Teams and traditional individual bull riding is the team atmosphere.

You aren’t just watching individual riders anymore. You’re cheering for a team. That makes team sections one of the best ways to experience the championship.

Fans can purchase tickets in their team’s exclusive fan section and show up wearing their team’s colors. Whether you’re backing the Arizona Ridge Riders, Austin Gamblers, Carolina Cowboys, Florida Freedom, Kansas City Outlaws, Missouri Thunder, Nashville Stampede, New York Mavericks, Oklahoma Wildcatters, or Texas Rattlers, the team-section experience gives you a chance to sit alongside fans who are riding with the same crew.

So don’t just buy a ticket; pick your side.

Grab your team’s colors, round up your friends, and get ready to make some noise when your riders hit the dirt.

Keep the Night Going at Ole Red

Once the competition wraps up, the weekend is far from over.

PBR Teams Championship fans can head to Ole Red for the championship weekend pre-party and after-party, giving fans another opportunity to keep the celebration going outside T-Mobile Arena.

Even better, fans can show their PBR Teams Championship ticket for access to the event transportation, with shuttles available. That means you can build the night around the championship without having to worry about ending the evening as soon as the final ride is over.

Start the night with PBR, celebrate with your team, and finish it with live entertainment and fellow fans at Ole Red.

Make It a Full Las Vegas Weekend

The beauty of a PBR championship weekend in Las Vegas is that you don’t have to choose between the event and everything else the city has to offer.

Make Friday about arriving, checking into your hotel, and getting into the PBR atmosphere. Spend time experiencing the team arrivals, checking out the Bull Trailer, and exploring some of the PBR-related activities around town. Then head to T-Mobile Arena for championship competition and spend the evening celebrating with fellow fans.

Saturday brings another opportunity to experience the championship atmosphere, wear your team colors, and cheer from your team’s section before continuing the night at Ole Red.

And on Sunday, don’t rush home. The final day of the PBR Teams Championship is when the remaining teams battle toward the championship finish, and one team will ultimately be crowned the 2026 PBR Teams Champion.

Three days. Ten teams. One championship. And an entire city ready to welcome PBR fans.

Why PBR Teams Make Las Vegas Even More Exciting

PBR Teams has transformed bull riding into a true team sport, with riders competing in five-on-five games throughout the season. The 2026 regular season features 35 games for each team before the season concludes with the championship in Las Vegas.

That format makes the championship feel different from a traditional individual bull riding event. Fans aren’t simply following individual riders; they’re following teams, rivalries, records, and the race toward a championship.

And when all 10 teams arrive in Las Vegas for the final event of the season, the atmosphere gets even bigger.

Biography:

I grew up on a Midwest farm with dirt under my fingernails and the sound of wind rustling through cornfields. My childhood was all about 4H – raising pigs and horses, learning to bake and sew, and discovering the magic of transforming a garden into jars of summer sunshine. Those years taught me the value of hard work, the thrill of seeing a project through to the end, and the simple joy of creating something beautiful. A country girl with a need for speed and a thirst for adventure. Maybe that's why I love the feeling of wind in my hair – whether I'm cruising down a dusty road on my Harley or tackling a mountain trail on my trusty mountain bike. Some of my earliest memories of rodeo are watching my father compete at small local events. That's also where my love for country music comes in – long car rides listening to 8 tracks. The lyrics and melodies always spoke to my soul. These days, you'll find me cheering on the cowboys and cowgirls at rodeos, two-stepping to my favorite bands, belting out a country tune at a concert or sharing stories and laughter with friends around a bonfire. When I'm not soaking up the country life and getting my boots dirty, I'm a nurse, caring for folks in my community. Follow along for more stories from the heart of rodeo and country life!
