If you’re new to North Texas, welcome to the neighborhood—and to one of the biggest sporting events of the year. This May, the 2025 PBR World Finals take over Fort Worth and Arlington, delivering the most electrifying names in professional bull riding to your own backyard.

The roar of the crowd. The crack of the gate. The grit of the cowboy and the fury of the bull. This isn’t just another Texas event—it’s a full-throttle showcase of world-class competition and western tradition.

For newcomers and longtime fans alike, the PBR World Finals blend extreme sport, cultural legacy, and rock-fueled entertainment into one unforgettable weekend. Whether you’re a rodeo veteran or experiencing it all for the first time, there’s never been a better moment to dive in.

What Is the PBR World Finals?

The PBR World Finals (Professional Bull Riders) is the culmination of the Unleash The Beast tour—the top tier of global bull riding competition. This annual championship event brings together the world’s best riders and the rankest bulls to decide who gets crowned World Champion.

Founded in 1992, PBR has grown into a global phenomenon. But make no mistake—its roots are pure Texas. The sport itself is a fierce test of balance, strength, instinct, and bravery. Each rider has just 8 seconds to prove he can tame the untamable. And the bulls? They don’t back down.

In 2025, the PBR World Finals returns to Dallas-Fort Worth, transforming the region into a full-scale celebration of western grit, glory, and adrenaline.

The 2025 Schedule: A Two-Venue Experience

The World Finals are split across two iconic Texas venues, giving fans a full week of elite-level action.

Cowtown Coliseum – Fort Worth, TX

World Finals Eliminations: May 8–11
Ride for Redemption: May 14–15

Historic Cowtown Coliseum, located in the Fort Worth Stockyards, sets the stage for the early rounds. Riders will battle through eliminations and the Ride for Redemption—fighting for one last shot at the championship.

AT&T Stadium – Arlington, TX

World Finals Championship: May 17–18

Once the dust settles in Fort Worth, the best riders move to the grandest stage in sports: AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
