BRIDGEPORT, Conn. – For the first time in history, PBR’s Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour will buck into Bridgeport, Connecticut, debuting at Total Mortgage Arena March 1-2 with PBR Bridgeport.

For two nights only, some of the best bull riders in the world will battle the sport’s rankest bovine athletes in the ultimate showdown of man vs. beast during one of the most exciting live sporting events to witness.

The debut of PBR’s Velocity Tour in Bridgeport comes on the spurs of one of the organization’s most dynamic individual seasons in 2023, as the Velocity Tour broke and reset numerous attendance and competition records en-route to its most successful season to date.

The upcoming PBR Bridgeport will mark the eighteenth event of the new individual season for the PBR’s expansion series. Eventgoers will watch riders vie for crucial points in the race to be crowned the 2024 PBR Velocity Tour Champion.

While PBR’s Velocity Tour has never travelled to Bridgeport, the Connecticut city has previously welcomed the organization’s developmental tour four times, in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2011.

The bull riding action for PBR Bridgeport begins with Round 1 at 8 p.m. ET on Friday, March 1, followed by Round 2 and the championship round at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday, March 2. All 35 competing bull riders will get on one bull each in Round 1 and Round 2. The riders’ individual two-round scores will be totaled with the Top 10 advancing to the championship round for one more out and a chance at the event title.
