PBR World Finals to Return to Dickies Arena in 2026
The PBR announced Friday afternoon that the Unleash the Beast Championship Rounds would return to Dickies Arena after spending the last two years at AT&T Stadium.
The move is not permanent, but is being made due to AT&T Stadium preparing to serve as one of the sites of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
“With the 2026 FIFA World Cup coming to AT&T Stadium, PBR World Finals – Championship will shift to a new home for the season – Dickies Arena,” said Sean Gleason, CEO and Commissioner of PBR. “We’re proud to keep the toughest championship in sports right here in Texas, starting the journey at historic Cowtown Coliseum and culminating with crowning our new World Champion at Dickies Arena — also home to the Fort Worth Rattlers of PBR Teams.”
The PBR World Finals were held in Dickies Arena in 2022 and 2023. The first weekend will remain at Cowtown Coliseum.
“We are excited to welcome back PBR World Finals to Dickies Arena and to create a packed arena with enthusiastic fans to witness these incredible world-class athletes,” said Matt Homan, General Manager and President of Dickies Arena.
The World Finals will start in Cowtown from May 7-10 and conclude in Dickies May 14-17. Daylon Swearingen and Rafael Jose de Brito were the two bull riders crowned World Champions in Dickies Arena previously.
