TACOMA, WASH. - PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Unleash The Beast (UTB) will return to Tacoma Dome on Friday, April 24 and Saturday, April 25, 2026, for the Cooper Tires PBR Tacoma. This two-day event will mark the 17th year the sport’s elite tour has visited Tacoma.
As the final event of the 2026 regular-season, the crucial world points on the line in Tacoma will play a decisive role in shaping the world standings as riders make their final push toward the 2026 PBR World Finals May 7-17 in Fort Worth, Texas.
Washington fans will once again be treated to an intense and unpredictable showdown between the Top 35 bull riders in the world and the sport’s most talented animal athletes bred for explosive power and agility.
In 2025 when PBR visited Tacoma, Keyshawn Whitehorse (McCracken Spring, Utah) delivered a perfect 4-for-4 weekend to seal the deal as the event champion and earn his first elite series win of the season.
Just like Whitehorse’s quest last April, the world’s top bull riders will arrive in Washington determined for a win and maximum points at the final stop of the 18-event premier tour season.
The riders will take to the dirt Friday, Apr. 24 at 6:45 p.m. PT and then again on Saturday, Apr. 25 at 6:45p.m. PT, where an event champion will be crowned.
