PBR World Championship Finals 2024: “Unleash the Beast”

When it comes to celebrating the biggest sporting events of the year, one may consider the NFL’s Super Bowl, MLB’s World Series, or the NBA Finals … but here at Cowboy Lifestyle Network, another hard-hitting, show-stopping sport comes to mind. 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 grown to be 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.

While the concept may differ from traditional sporting events, one commonality remains the search for a champion. In just a few short days the best cowboys and baddest bulls will put it all on the line as they compete in the 2024 PBR World Finals Championship May 9th – 19th! With 3.13 million dollars on the line across Eliminations, Ride for Redemption, and the Championship, cowboys will compete for the opportunity of a lifetime.

“It All Comes Down to This”: 11 Days of Non-Stop Action! 

Eliminations: May 9th-12th 

The PBR World Finals Championship kicks off in historic Fort Worth, Texas at the Cowtown Coliseum. This 4-day elimination series will put cowboys to the test as they vie for a spot in the next phase of the competition, the Redemption Series. 40 of the top bull riders in the Unleash the Beast Series will compete alongside the top 5 riders from the Pendleton Whiskey Velocity Tour Finals. After the 4 rounds, the top 15 riders in the Unleash the Beast standings, and the top 5 riders overall will automatically make their way to the PBR World Finals Championship.

Ride for Redemption: May 15th-16th

Featuring 25 riders not advancing from the elimination series, 10 PBR Teams riders, and 5 additional invited riders. Hosted by the Cowtown Coliseum, the Ride for Redemption 2-night series will give these athletes another shot to make it to the PBR World Finals Championship.
