PBR Milwaukee 2026 was chock-full of amazing performances and new season records. It featured a season-high 16 87.5+ point rides, the best ride of the season, and the toughest bull performances we’ve seen yet.

Dalton Kasel electrified the state of Wisconsin and claimed his second UTB event win of the season on Saturday.

Mr. 90-Point Returns

Dalton Kasel went 3-for-3, winning PBR Milwaukee, and recorded the single best ride of the 2026 UTB season thus far with a 92.55-point ride atop Lights Out in Saturday’s Short Round.

Last week in NYC’s Short Round, Lights Out was ridden for a season-high 92.05 points by Sage Kimzey, winning him the event.

Despite his win in Manchester, Dalton Kasel had yet to score a patented 90-point ride this season. Kasel selected Lights Out with the the second pick in the Championship Round Draft and delivered his highest score since his 93.5-point score on Man Hater during PBR Sioux Falls’ Short Round last April.

His event aggregate total was 264.75 points, and he earned 129 event points, moving him to second overall in the World Standings, just two points behind Julio Cesar Marques’ 279.

Milwaukee marks the the 18th UTB win of his career.

Monster Energy Teams Challenge Update

The second Teams Challenge doubleheader of the season opened with the Oklahoma Wildcatters taking on the Kansas City Outlaws.

UTB newcomer Alison dos Santos was the first to score, earning 85.45 points atop Love Country for the Outlaws, who struck again, sealing the win with Koltin Hevalow’s 87.7 points on Home Slice.

Being the last Wildcatter to ride, Cort McFadden faced an insurmountable 173.15-point deficit, but responded regardless with an 83.95 point ride on Country Club.

Next up was a matchup between two 2025 PBR Teams Semifinalists, the Arizona Ridge Riders and Missouri Thunder

After no qualified rides through the game’s first five outs, the Thunder’s Kade Madsen exploded for 88.1 points on Catching Gears, leaving just a sole Ridge Rider, Keyshawn Whitehorse, to claim victory for his team.

Keyshawn delivered an exceptional ride atop First Class but narrowly missed the victory, scoring 88.05 points, 0.05 points away from Madsen.

The Thunder escape Milwaukee with a gritty 88.1 – 88.05 win, their first Teams Challenge victory of the season.

Cerqueira Turns Back The Clock

Alex Cerqueira entered the Championship Round Draft slated third and chose chose Bex Red Eye, a bull his countrymen Leandro Zampollo rode for a career-high 90.85 last weekend in New York City.

The 32-year-old found similar success, going for 89.05, his highest UTB score since May of 2020.

Cerqueira was one of three riders to ride all three bulls in Milwaukee this past weekend.

His efforts earned him a 3rd-place finish, his best finish since PBR Salt Lake 2024, where he placed 2nd.

Leme Gets on the Board For 2026

Jose Vitor gets his first qualified ride of the 2026 UTB season atop Body Bag in Round 1 with 88.45 points, enough for third in Round 1. It was his only ride of the weekend, but he made his first Championship Round of the year and finished 12th overall.

If Leme had not recorded a qualified ride in Round 1, it would’ve been the longest buck-off streak of his PBR career.

Leme’s record fourth world title aspirations haven’t died yet.

Toughest Bulls Yet

Milwaukee’s Short Round saw the most impressive collection of bull scores yet this UTB season. They scored an average of 44.45 points per bull, including three bull scores of 45+ points.

Magic Touch scored a season high 45.75, bucking off World No. 1 Julio Cesar Marques, who entered the Short Round 2-for-2, in 4.68 seconds
