The only professional bull-riding team in the Sooner State, the Oklahoma Wildcatters, revealed their 2024 game and broadcast schedule ahead of the third season of the innovative PBR Teams league.
Ahead of the 2024 PBR Camping World Team Series season, which will kick off in Oklahoma City on July 12–14, two new bull riding teams are joining the PBR Teams league: the Oklahoma Wildcatters and the New Zealand Bull Riders.
Each of the ten teams in the league will hold homestand events during the season, which will also feature two three-day neutral site tournaments.
Each team will have seven byes during the campaign after the PBR Teams league expanded to ten teams for its third season, with the regular-season calendar now consisting of twelve events.
A new playoff structure will be unveiled at the PBR Teams Championship in Las Vegas, where the season will come to an end. On October 17, South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa will host a Ride-in-Round to kick off the season-ending event.
The eight-team Championship will be held at T-Mobile Arena on October 18–20 after the two winning teams advance from the Ride-in-Round, which pits the four bottom-ranked teams in the standings against each other.
On July 12–14 in Oklahoma City, at Paycom Center, the Oklahoma Wildcatters will have their inaugural homestand, known as Wildcatters Days, to kick off the league’s third season. The 2023 PBR Teams Champion Texas Rattlers on July 12, the Arizona Ridge Riders on July 13, and the Austin Gamblers on July 14 will all be playing at their event.
Bullriding’s version of the Red River Showdown will make its debut in the first of three times against the Rattlers during their homestand. Along with these games, Oklahoma will also play Texas on August 25 in Austin and September 26 in Fort Worth.
This October, the Wildcatters hope to unseat the league’s current champions and return the global championship to the Sooner state. In their quest to become Oklahoma’s top bull-riding state, the Wildcatters will also play the Austin Gamblers of the Lone Star State three times.
