NASHVILLE STAMPEDE ANNOUNCES 2025 PBR CAMPING WORLD TEAM SERIES GAME SCHEDULE

NASHVILLE (April 8, 2025) – Ahead of the fourth season for the ground-breaking PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Teams league, the Nashville Stampede, Music City’s first-ever professional bull riding team, today announced their 2025 game schedule.

The 2025 PBR Camping World Team Series season, beginning on July 11-13 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, will include homestand events hosted by each of the league’s 10 teams, accompanied by two, multi-day neutral site events. During the 2025 regular season, fans will see all 10 teams riding each event day in five, head-to-head bull riding games, unlike last season where event days consisted of only eight teams and four games daily, and a shootout round. Teams will now play 35 games during the regular season, up from 28, and the shootout round has been eliminated.

The season will conclude in Las Vegas for the 2025 PBR Teams Championship when all 10 teams will compete inside T-Mobile Arena from Oct. 24-26, battling through a progressive elimination format to become the 2025 PBR Teams Champions.

The Nashville Stampede will host their fourth annual homestand, and fourth event of the regular season, Stampede Days, on Aug. 15-17 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. During their event, they will play the Arizona Ridge Riders (Aug. 15), Carolina Cowboys (Aug. 16) and Missouri Thunder (Aug. 17). 

In the league’s inaugural season, the Stampede made history by being crowned the first-ever PBR Teams World Champions. Despite finishing the 2022 season last in the regular season, they made a Cinderella run through the Championship, capping their incredible efforts by defeating the Arizona Ridge Riders to clinch the title. In what has proved to be a budding rivalry since, the Stampede and Ridge Riders split the series in 2023, while Nashville won the trio of games in 2024, 2-1.

In 2025, the Stampede and Ridge Riders will go head-to-head four times. They will first play on the opening night of Nashville’s homestand, before going head-to-head on Sept. 5 in Anaheim, California, Sept. 27 in Fort Worth, Texas, and Oct. 10 in Glendale, Arizona.

The budding Smoky Mountain Showdown rivalry between the Nashville Stampede and Carolina Cowboys will also be showcased throughout the season. In addition to their game during Nashville’s homestand, they will play during the league’s season-opener on July 11 in Oklahoma City, Sept. 13 in Greensboro, North Carolina, and Oct. 3 in Kansas City, Missouri.

The Nashville Stampede’s complete 2025 PBR Teams game schedule is:

Under the fiery leadership of Head Coach and two-time PBR World Champion Justin McBride the Stampede’s roster features four-time World Finals qualifiers Cody Jesus and Austin Richardson, surging young guns Kaiden Loud and Caden Bunch, and Brazilian sensations Alan de Souza and Anderson de Oliveira. 

During the 2024 regular season, the Stampede delivered the team’s best finish to date, including beating the league’s top two teams. After topping the Kansas City Outlaws by one ride score at the second event of the season, Nashville upset the seemingly unstoppable and then No. 1 Carolina Cowboys in early September.

Winning a team-best 12 games, Nashville began the 2024 PBR Teams Championship in Las Vegas No. 7 in the league with a 12-16 record. After winning the first-ever Ride-In Round for the playoffs, the Stampede came up short on the opening day of the progressive elimination tournament, ultimately eliminated by eventual 2024 PBR Teams Champion Austin Gamblers.

The Nashville Stampede will host their fourth-annual PBR Stampede Days Camping World Team Series homestand on Aug.15-17 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.

The bull riding begins at 7:45 p.m. CT on Friday, August 15, 6:45 p.m. CT on Saturday, August 16, and 1:45 p.m. CT on Sunday, August 17.

PBR Teams, launched in July 2022, builds on the existing structure of professional bull riding with the same basic rules for judging and scoring qualified 8-second bull rides. In events staged in a tournament-style format, teams compete in head-to-head matchups against a different opponent each day. Each game features five riders per team squaring off against another team. Full team rosters are comprised of seven riders on the Protected Roster and five Reserve riders. The team with the highest aggregate score of qualified rides among its riders is declared the winner of each game. Wins and losses at the conclusion of each team’s 35-game regular-season schedule determine seeding for the annual Championship Tournament in Las Vegas.  PBR events are broadcast on CBS Television Network and Paramount. PBR is a subsidiary of TKO Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: TKO), a premium sports and entertainment company.
