Please find the attached Broadcast and Hometown Rodeo schedule for the 2025 season. Committees on these lists can reach out to Kevin Kersey at [email protected] to start the terms agreement process and set up communication with the Cowboy Channel. Media terms agreements will be worked out individually for the top 60 rodeos, and other flagship events.
Adjustments to the Hometown Rodeo livestream schedule may occur during the rodeo season. Rodeos interested in livestreaming who are not on the list may be considered on standby. Standby rodeos are not guaranteed a streaming slot for 2025. Rodeos may not livestream or broadcast their rodeo outside of the Cowboy Channel, Cowgirl Channel or CowboyChannelPlus.com.
Reach out to Amy Fast, [email protected], or Kevin Kersey, [email protected] if you have questions. Please be mindful that PRCA’s staff departs for Convention and the NFR in the coming days so response times to your e-mails may be longer than during the regular season.
NEW RULES EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY Change R9.3.3.8 Fouled Bull Rider. If a contestant is fouled in the Bull Riding event and he declares or is disqualified prior to the expiration of the (8) second time requirement, he will be entitled to a re-ride. If he accepts the foul and qualifies, he is only entitled to his marking.
Change R3.2.5.3 Designated Re-Rides Set. Any PRCA event that adds more than $9,999.99, two designated re-rides must be drawn per rule R3.2.6. Only the required number of re-rides will count as an official out for NFR qualification. Additional re-rides may be set; however, they will not count as an official out for NFR qualification unless they are used. If an animal is drawn for competition but turned out for any reason by a contestant, including notified turnout, non-notified turnout, doctor release, visible injury or draw out, it will count as an out. If an animal is drawn for competition but removed by the contractor for any reason, including sickness or injury lameness, it will not count towards the minimum number of outs. Failure to have available re-rides will result in a $1,000 fine to the contractor and will progressively double after each offense. Effective for the 2024 Rodeo Season (beginning October 1, 2023)
Change B8.3.1 Minimum Performances. All riding event livestock selected for the NFR must have been drawn for competition a minimum of eight outs at PRCA events during the Rodeo Year for which the NFR is being held. An animal selected for bareback riding or saddle bronc riding need only have eight outs in these two events combined. Outs at the previous year’s NFR, will not count toward the minimum number of outs. All riding event livestock minimum performance requirements must be met by the end of the Rodeo Year in order to be selected. A Stock Contractor qualifying to bring selected riding event livestock to the NFR under paragraph B8.3.2 below may bring only Eligible Livestock. Effective for the 2024 Rodeo Season (beginning October 1, 2023)
R9.5.6 Only Rosin Allowed. Rosin may be used on chaps and saddle. Anyone using excessive rosin or any other foreign substance, in the sole discretion of a rodeo judge, shall be fined $250 for the first offense, $500 for the second offense, $1,000 for the third offense, and a 30-day suspension and $1,000 fine for the fourth and subsequent offenses within a given rodeo year. The judges will examine clothing, saddle, and rein.
