Get ready, Tucson! The Professional Bull Riders (PBR) are bringing the Pendleton Velocity Tour to town, and it’s going to be an adrenaline-packed weekend. On Friday & Saturday, December 19–20, 2025, the Tucson Arena will come alive with the sights, sounds, and heart-pounding action of PBR Tucson 2025, a two-night showdown of grit, skill, and pure Western spirit. Tickets start at just $48, and you can grab yours now.
The Best Riders, The Rankest Bulls
When it comes to bull riding, there’s nothing quite like PBR. The world’s top riders will battle the fiercest bulls in an edge-of-your-seat competition that’ll leave you breathless. Expect to see names from the elite PBR roster, including World Champions and fan favorites, giving it their all in pursuit of eight seconds of glory. These cowboys are athletes of a different breed, and when the gate cracks open, there’s no turning back. Velocity Global points contribute to the Velocity Global Standings and determine which riders earn berths on the premier Unleash The Beast tour throughout the season, as well as qualifications for the PBR World Finals in May 2026. Every ride tells a story: courage, heartbreak, and triumph. This isn’t just a sport! It’s Western heritage in motion.
