Friday Night Live moves to Fox Nation, delivering a thrilling debut for 'PBR' events.
The world of professional bull riding just got a whole lot more exciting, as Fox Nation and the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) have joined forces for a new partnership. This collaboration marks Fox Nation's debut into live sports streaming[1][3].
Under this partnership, Fox Nation will broadcast live PBR events through a new series called "PBR Friday Night Live". The series covers the PBR Camping World Team Series, a competitive bull riding team event[4].
The "PBR Friday Night Live" series showcases weekly team competitions between PBR teams. The inaugural event, known as Freedom Days, began on August 8, 2025, at the Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida[2][3]. Teams such as the Missouri Thunder and the Nashville Stampede were among those who participated.
This ten-week team event season[3] will traverse various locations across the U.S., with the Missouri Thunder securing a narrow victory over the Nashville Stampede in the opening event (173.25 to 172.25)[2]. The Kansas City Outlaws also demonstrated their dominance with a convincing win against the Oklahoma Wildcatters (337.25 to 260.25)[2].
Meanwhile, the Texas Rattlers lead the standings after day one of the Freedom Days, having defeated the Carolina Cowboys (169.25 to 168.50)[2]. The Texas Rattlers also emerged victorious against the hometown favorites, the Florida Freedom, in a close contest (169.25 to 168.50)[3].
In addition to the team events, Fox Nation subscribers will have access to PBR's "Last Cowboy Standing" reality competition series (season two), where amateur bull riders compete for a chance to join PBR teams and compete in elite individual bull riding events[3].
The partnership also includes special live entertainment crossover events, such as a kickoff concert by country artist Chris Janson held ahead of the first "PBR Friday Night Live" broadcast, blending Western sports culture and live music[5].
This historic partnership between Fox Nation and PBR promises to bring an exciting new dimension to the world of professional bull riding, with live events, reality series content, and entertainment events all available to Fox Nation subscribers[1][2][3][5].
The league's championship opener will be on Oct. 24 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas[3]. The U.S. Border Patrol provided an honor guard for the event[1]. The Arizona RidgeRiders also made a strong start, defeating the hometown favorites, the Florida Freedom, in the opening event (256.50 to 254.75)[3].
PBR, known as the "world's premier bull riding organization", hosts more than 1,000 bull riders who compete in over 200 events each year, according to a partnership press release[1]. This partnership is set to bring even more excitement to the world of professional bull riding, with Fox Nation subscribers gaining extensive access to PBR's competitive bull riding and its fan experience[1][2][3][5].
In the expanded realm of live sports streaming, Fox Nation subscribers can now enjoy a new series called "PBR Friday Night Live," featuring the PBR Camping World Team Series, including the competitive bull riding team event, the PBR Camping World Team Series.[1][3] Additionally, the "Last Cowboy Standing" reality competition series[3] is another offering, where amateur bull riders compete for a chance to join PBR teams and compete in elite individual bull riding events.
