PUEBLO, Colo. (June 22, 2022) – PBR (Professional Bull Riders) today announced the full television schedule for the inaugural PBR Team Series, an elite new league featuring the world’s top bull riders competing on teams in five-on-five bull riding games. The 11-event season begins in July and culminates in a team championship in November.

The CBS Television Network, Paramount+, CBS Sports Network or Pluto TV will carry all 112 games in the 2022 Teams regular season, as well as the three-day playoff and championship event November 4-6 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

 

Highlighting the schedule each weekend is the “Game of the Week,” which will either be carried by the CBS Television Network and streamed on Paramount+, or televised on CBS Sports Network.

 

In the league’s inaugural season, RidePass on Pluto TV will carry 60 bull riding games LIVE, totaling an estimated 35 hours of live Team Series coverage on the world’s leading free ad-supported television service. CBS Sports Network will carry 50 games, totaling an estimated 32 hours of coverage.

In the PBR Team Series, each of the eight founding teams will host a three-day homestand. There are also two neutral-site events: in Cheyenne, Wyoming, at Cheyenne Frontier Days on July 25 to launch the new league and in Anaheim, California, for the second neutral-site two-day event in mid-August.

 

“The 2022 PBR Team Series schedule is the most accessible and consistent in our sport’s 29-year history, offering the most live events,” said PBR CEO and Commissioner Sean Gleason. “With the strong support of our broadcast partners, for the first time in PBR history, fans everywhere will be able to see every single ride from the season’s first out to the crowning of the championship team.”

About the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Team Series:

The PBR Team Series is an elite new league that will feature the world’s top bull riders competing on teams in five-on-five bull riding games during an 11-event season beginning in July and culminating in a team championship at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas November 4-6.  During the 2022 season, each of the eight teams representing teams in Austin, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Glendale, AZ; Kansas City, MO; Nashville, TN; Oklahoma City, OK; Ridgedale, MO; and Winston-Salem, NC will host a three-day homestand.  There will also be neutral site games in Cheyenne, WY and Anaheim, CA. To determine team rosters, the league held a rider draft on May 23 prior to start of the 2022 season among any bull riders who have declared for the draft during a league eligibility window.

 

The PBR Team Series builds on the existing structure of professional bull riding with the same basic rules for judging and scoring qualified 8-second bull rides. Events will be staged in a tournament-style format with all teams competing in head-to-head matchups against a different opponent each day. Each game will feature five riders per team squaring off against another team. Full team rosters will be comprised of seven riders on the core roster and three practice squad members. The team with the highest aggregate score of qualified rides among its riders will be declared the winner of each game. The event winner will be the team with the most game wins across an event, with a special bonus round designed as a tie-breaker to determine final event standings.

 

All PBR Team Series events will be carried on either the CBS Television Network, streaming live on Paramount+, CBS Sports Network, or RidePass on Pluto TV.
