Rodeo participants from Northern Colorado gear up for the qualifying events of Cheyenne Frontier Days 2025
The countdown to the world's largest outdoor rodeo, the Cheyenne Frontier Days, has begun. With the qualifying events just around the corner, local competitors from Larimer and Weld counties are gearing up for a chance to shine on one of the sport's most respected platforms.
The key qualifying schedule for team roping and barrel racing at Cheyenne Frontier Days 2025 is as follows:
- Preliminary and slack team roping events will take place as early as July 7.
- Main timed event performances, serving as qualifiers for advancement, will start on July 19.
- The finals and championship rounds are scheduled around July 27.
For barrel racing and other timed events such as breakaway roping, qualifications are embedded in the initial rodeo performances starting July 19. Top competitors from these early rounds will advance to the semi-finals and finals.
Team roping at Cheyenne Frontier Days in 2025 follows a tournament-style format, with competitions beginning on July 19. Notably, the team roping slack is held earlier than usual, around July 7, to ensure quality cattle availability for the event.
Entry qualifications to the Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo itself often derive from standings in other rodeos and circuits earlier in the year. For example, the 2025 Cody Stampede (July 1-4) has a roping playoff series with a limited field of top competitors based on prior world standings and earnings. Performance in such events contributes to qualification and seeding at Cheyenne.
Cheyenne Frontier Days is a significant event, often referred to as "The Daddy of 'Em All." It is nationally recognized for its tradition-rich rodeo events and community celebrations. For complete event details and tickets for Cheyenne Frontier Days, visit cfdrodeo.com.
