2026 Monster Energy Team Challenge

The 2026 Monster Energy Team Challenge brings head-to-head PBR Teams matchups into select Unleash The Beast events, adding another layer of competition without changing the UTB format. Each stop features two 4-on-4 team games contested during Round 1, where riders earn UTB points and prize money while also competing for their teams for additional payouts and playoff positioning. The format additionally gives team riders not currently competing on the Unleash The Beast tour the opportunity to contend for UTB event wins and points based on their rides in the Team Challenge.

Monster Energy Team Challenge results do not count toward official PBR Teams regular-season records, but they do determine standings, playoff qualification and seeding, with games broadcasting on CBS. The season culminates in a four-team playoff, ending with a winner-take-all 7-on-7 championship game at the final Unleash The Beast event of the season in Tacoma, Washington, where the 2026 Monster Energy Team Challenge champions will be crowned.
