GREENSBORO, N.C. – Ahead of the third season for the ground-breaking PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Teams league, the Carolina Cowboys, Carolina’s first-ever professional bull riding team, today announced their 2024 game and broadcast schedule.

The 2024 PBR Camping World Team Series season, beginning on July 12-14 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, will include homestand events hosted by each of the league’s 10 teams, accompanied by two, three-day neutral site events. Following the PBR Teams league’s expansion to 10 teams for its third season, with the regular-season schedule now featuring 12 events, each team will receive seven byes during the campaign.

The season will conclude in Las Vegas for the PBR Teams Championship, which will debut a new playoff format. The season-ending event will begin with a Ride-in-Round on October 17 at South Point Hotel, Casino & Spa. During the Ride-in-Round, the four lowest-ranked teams in the standings will compete, with the two winning teams advancing to set the eight-team Championship at T-Mobile Arena on October 18-20.

The Carolina Cowboys will host their third annual homestand, and tenth event of the regular season, Cowboy Days, on Sept. 20-22 in Greensboro, North Carolina, at Greensboro Coliseum. During their event, they will play the Kansas City Outlaws (Sept. 20), 2022 PBR Teams Champion Nashville Stampede (Sept. 21), and Missouri Thunder (Sept. 22).

Throughout the campaign, the Carolina Cowboys will play the reigning PBR Teams Champion Texas Rattlers three times as they look to bring the title to the Carolinas this October.

New broadcast rights agreements with CBS and Merit Street Media will bring all 140 of the league’s regular-season games and the Championship event to fans in consistent broadcast windows on Fridays at 9 p.m. ET, Saturdays at 9 p.m. ET, and Sundays at 3 p.m. ET throughout the season with limited exceptions.

Every out from the regular season, plus the playoffs, will be carried by CBS Television Network, showcasing its “Game of the Week” broadcasts, and Merit Street, which will add pre- and post-game coverage and shoulder programming including relaunching PBR Now, a one-hour weekly deep dive into the evolving season.

* Note: The CBS Game of the Week will air the following day.

The Carolina Cowboys went 11-17 during the 2023 regular season to advance to the PBR Teams Championship No. 6 in the league. In Las Vegas, after falling to the No. 5 Arizona Ridge Riders in the opening round of the tournament, Carolina was unable to rally in the first Last Chance Game, eliminated by the Missouri Thunder.

The Cowboys returned to North Carolina having finished the 2023 season No. 7 in the league.

The rocky finish sent the Cowboys into the offseason more determined than ever to win the PBR Teams World Championship in 2024. Since league competition concluded, the Cowboys made significant roster changes, acquiring the likes of eight-time PBR World Finals qualifier Derek Kolbaba and surging young gun Tate Pollmeier via trade, while also signing 2021 Velocity Tour Champion Adriano Salgado via free agency.

The 2024 PBR Unleash The Beast season featured stellar individual seasons by the team’s returning veterans, all commentated by the Carolina Cowboy and 2016 PBR World Champion Cooper Davis.

Despite battling injury during the campaign, seven-time PRCA champion Sage Kimzey delivered in his first full season on PBR’s premier series. Concluding the campaign by winning the PBR World Finals, Kimzey finished 2024 ranked No. 7.

2022 PBR World Champion Daylon Swearingen qualified for his fifth career PBR World Finals, finishing the season No. 15 in the standings.

Less than a month ago, at the 2024 PBR Teams New Rider Draft, the Carolina Cowboys, under the leadership of General Manager Austin Dillon and Head Coach Jerome Davis, added new talent to the team in Ethan Winckler (Winnie, Texas), Murilo Henrique de Oliveira (Pereira Barreto, Brazil) and Braden Richardson (Jasper, Texas).

The remainder of the roster includes Arthur Antonialle and Dawson Branton.

The Carolina Cowboys will host their third-annual PBR Cowboy Days Camping World Team Series homestand on Sept. 20-22 in Greensboro, North Carolina, at Greensboro Coliseum.
