The Professional Bull Riders World Finals is coming to Cowtown in May, bringing the world’s best riders to Dickies Arena for two weekends of competition.

This will be the first year for Fort Worth to host the PBR World Finals. The competition was previously held in Las Vegas from 1994 through 2019 and moved to Arlington in 2020 because of strict coronavirus restrictions in Nevada.

The PBR World Finals: Unleash the Beast competition will take place over seven days in May. Millions in prize money will be given to contestants — the champion will go home with the coveted gold buckle.

Whether you’re interested in going for one night or all seven nights, plan ahead with this guide to times, ticket prices and parking information.
