The Legacy Behind the PBR Phenomenon
Founded in 1992 by 20 visionary riders, PBR transformed traditional rodeo culture by creating a modern, athlete-focused sporting organization. What started as a bold breakaway from classic rodeos has now evolved into a global movement based in Pueblo, Colorado.
Today, more than 800 athletes from the United States, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, and Canada compete throughout the year. With over 200 annual events across multiple tours, PBR has cemented itself as a top-tier global franchise. At the heart of it all is Unleash The Beast — the tour where the world’s best bull riders push limits, chase points, and deliver unforgettable moments.
