FORT WORTH, Texas (April 8, 2025) – PBR (Professional Bull Riders) today announced the 2025 game schedule for the PBR Camping World Team Series, an elite league of the world’s top bull riders competing in five-on-five bull riding games during a 13-event season.
The 2025 PBR Camping World Team Series season will feature homestand events hosted by each of the 10 teams, plus two multi-day neutral-site events. During the 12-event regular season, each team plays one game per day, totaling 35 games—up from 28 in 2024. Fans will witness all teams competing on each event day, which will now include five 5-on-5 head-to-head games, replacing last season’s four games and shootout round.
The season will conclude in Las Vegas for the 2025 PBR Teams Championship when all 10 teams will compete inside T-Mobile Arena from Oct. 24-26, battling through a progressive elimination format to become the 2025 PBR Teams Champions.
The Nashville Stampede (2022 Champions), Texas Rattlers (2023) and Austin Gamblers (2024) are each riding for a second title. The seven other teams are seeking their first championship.
This season’s rider draft will be held May 20 in Austin, while the league’s MVPs, Jose Vitor Leme (Austin Gamblers – 2022 and 2023) and John Crimber (Florida Freedom – 2024), both former number one overall draft picks, return to ride for their respective teams during the league’s fourth season.

PBR Teams, launched in July 2022, builds on the existing structure of professional bull riding with the same basic rules for judging and scoring qualified 8-second bull rides. In events staged in a tournament-style format, teams compete in head-to-head matchups against a different opponent each day. Each game features five riders per team squaring off against another team. Full team rosters are comprised of seven riders on the Protected Roster and five Reserve riders. The team with the highest aggregate score of qualified rides among its riders is declared the winner of each game. Wins and losses at the conclusion of each team’s 35-game regular-season schedule determine seeding for the annual Championship Tournament in Las Vegas. PBR events are broadcast on CBS Television Network and Paramount. PBR is a subsidiary of TKO Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: TKO), a premium sports and entertainment company.
