The American Rodeo brings together the best of professional rodeo and rising stars from across the country. Competitors will face off in eight classic rodeo disciplines, including bull riding, barrel racing, and saddle bronc riding. The stakes couldn’t be higher—event winners will take home $100,000 each, while Contenders (non-invitees who qualify through regional tournaments) have a shot at a $1 million bonus if they win their event. This unique format allows everyday cowboys and cowgirls to compete against seasoned champions for monumental prizes.
The weekend isn’t just about rodeo; it’s also a celebration of music and culture. On Friday night, Bailey Zimmerman will take the stage following the Contender Finals. Saturday’s lineup features country star Riley Green and rising talent Ella Langley, promising unforgettable performances included with rodeo admission
The American Rodeo is more than a competition—it’s an opportunity for underdogs to shine on one of the biggest stages in Western sports. With over $4 million in total payouts last year and a growing global audience, this event continues to elevate rodeo culture while offering fans an unparalleled experience both in-person and on-screen.
