Oklahoma to take on the 2023 PBR Teams Champion Texas Rattlers, Arizona Ridge Riders and reigning PBR Teams Champion Austin Gamblers during the team’s Wildcatter Days homestand in Oklahoma City on July 11-13
OKLAHOMA CITY (April 8, 2025) – Ahead of the fourth season for the ground-breaking PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Teams league, the Oklahoma Wildcatters, the Sooner State’s only professional bull riding team, today announced their 2025 game schedule.
The Oklahoma Wildcatters were one of two new bull riding teams that joined the PBR Teams league prior to the 2024 season, making their home at Paycom Center, also home to the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder.
The 2025 PBR Camping World Team Series season, beginning on July 11-13 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, will include homestand events hosted by each of the league’s 10 teams, accompanied by two, multi-day neutral site events. During the 2025 regular season, fans will see every team riding on each event day, which will consist of five separate five-on-five, head-to-head games. Teams will now play 35 games during the regular season, up from 28. Last season, event days consisted of four games and a shootout round, which has been eliminated.
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 Oklahoma Wildcatters will launch the league’s fourth season as they host their second-annual homestand, Wildcatter Days, on July 11-13 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, at Paycom Center. During their event, they will play the 2023 PBR Teams Champion Texas Rattlers (July 11), Arizona Ridge Riders (July 12) and 2024 PBR Teams Champion Austin Gamblers (July 13).
Their showdown with the Rattlers during their homestand will mark the first of four iterations of bull riding’s version of the Red River Showdown. In 2024, Texas won the series against Oklahoma, winning two of three games. This season, Oklahoma will also play Texas on Aug. 17 in Nashville, Tennessee, Aug. 7 in Anaheim, California, and Sept. 26 in Fort Worth, Texas, as the Wildcatters look to win the 2025 series.
The Wildcatters will also take on the Lone Star State’s Austin Gamblers four times as they look to establish Oklahoma as the premier bull riding state in the country, eager to dethrone the league’s reigning Champions and bring the world title to the Sooner State this October. In addition to their game during Wildcatter Days, the Wildcatters will play the Gamblers on Aug. 16 in Nashville. Sept. 6 in Anaheim, and Sept. 28 in Fort Worth.

The Oklahoma Wildcatters compete under the leadership of Head Coach, two-time PBR World Champion and bull riding icon J.B. Mauney. During the team’s first season in the PBR Teams league, they had built a solid roster that included the likes of 2021 National Finals Rodeo (NFR) aggregate winner and 2024 NFR qualifier Josh Frost, surging young gun Cort McFadden, and Oklahoman Kase Hitt (Dickson).
Oklahoma will also return Eduardo Matos, who finished sixth in the 2024 PBR Teams MVP race and contributed 35% of the team’s points throughout the season, including a Wildcatter’s-best 92.5-point ride on Flyin’ Wired.
The Wildcatters welcomed the nine other teams for the 2024 season launch, hosting three days of unforgettable bull riding games at Paycom Center.
They launched their inaugural homestand with a commanding three-ride score defeat of the 2023 PBR Teams Champion Texas Rattlers and concluded their first-ever event by decisively beating the eventual 2024 PBR Teams Champion Austin Gamblers by two ride scores.
As the 2024 campaign progressed, the Wildcatters went 11-16-1 to conclude the regular-season No. 8 in the league.
The Oklahoma Wildcatters will host their second-annual PBR Wildcatter Days Camping World Team Series homestand on July 11-13 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, at Paycom Center.
The bull riding action begins at 7:45 p.m. CT on Friday, July 11, and Saturday, July 12, and 1:45 p.m. CT on Sunday, July 13.
