PBR World Finals 2023 Gets Set to Unleash the Beast

The PBR World Finals 2023 is set and ready to unleash the beast in Fort Worth, Texas, at the Dickies Arena from May 12th to the 21st, and you don’t want to miss it! Last year started a new era for this event by moving it to spring and Texas, and the legacy continues. This is the 30th season of the PBR competitions, and it wraps up shortly after six and a half months of competition. This is the event where the best of the best compete against each other. The competitors have put their sweat, blood, and tears into this year’s events, but only one will emerge as the PBR World Bull Riding Champion. 

The PBR World Finals has a storied history with many pages waiting to be written. Making its start in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1994, where it was hosted for 25 years. From there, it moved to Texas during the pandemic and then back to Las Vegas. Now it’s back in Texas to bring the thrill of the 8-second ride to everyone. 

The top 40 professional bull riders competed throughout the season, and the Unleash the Beast event is the final showdown. Each of the 40 riders will compete again, with the top 12 returning for the Championship Round to determine the 2023 PBR World Finals Champion. At the time of this posting, the top 12 competitors in the standings are Kaique Pacheco, Jose Vitor Leme, Dalton Kasel, Andrew Alvidrez, Radael Jose de Brito, Cooper Davis, Boudreaux Campbell, Jesse Petri, Eduardo Aparecido, Daniel Keeping, Dener Barbosa, and Luciano de Castro. 

Come for the thrill of bull riding and stick around for the many other events and activities during this party. To celebrate the 30th year of the PBR World Finals, check out the Dirty 30 Party on May 17th at 6 pm. This event is happening at Billy Bob’s Texas. It is to celebrate the organization’s unprecedented growth and benefit a great cause, the Special Operations Warrior Foundation, all while having a great time. 

Check out the PBR World Finals Fan Zone Concerts, including artists like Walker Montgomery, Dusty Moates, Kenny Feidler and the Cowboy Killers, and Glen Templeton. The PBR World Finals Concert Series happens each evening of the event with headliners like Easton Corbin, Chancie Neal, and Kyle Redd. If you really feel the jitters before the big rides, you can participate in the PBR Ariat Boot Trot 5k/ 3k on May 20th in the iconic Fort Worth Stockyards. And plan to bring your camper and stay in the Ridin’ Rank RV Park to be as close to the action as possible. Where the best of the best come together, the PBR World Finals is an event you can’t miss!
