Key Storylines
The 2026 season continues to heat up as the Unleash The Beast tour rolls into Boston, with momentum already building and ticket inventory limited for what’s shaping up to be a packed TD Garden.
Three-time World Champion Jose Vitor Leme returns to action in Boston, bringing championship pedigree back into the mix as the season’s early hierarchy begins to take shape.
After a statement in Chicago, Marco Rizzo enters Boston jousting for the top spot in the standings, sitting just 6 points behind World No. 1 Dalton Kasel as the battle at the top tightens.
Boston will be without Callum Miller, who is sidelined after sustaining a jaw injury in Chicago, leaving the eighth spot in the standings open for other contenders to capitalize on his absence and make an early move.
Momentum also arrives via the Velocity Tour, as Kade Madsen joins the Unleash The Beast field after winning his first Pendleton Whisky Velocity Tour event following a two-year hiatus while on a church mission, bringing fresh confidence into his return to bull riding.
Adding to the depth, Hudson Bolton returns to UTB action in Boston after competing at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, beginning his Unleash The Beast season fresh off a 2025 Rookie of the Year campaign.
With championship experience reentering the fold, rising talent pushing the pace, and TD Garden ready to be at full throat, Boston is set to deliver another pivotal weekend in the race for the 2026 gold buckle. All Unleash The Beast action streams live on Paramount+ — don’t miss a second, a wreck, or a monster ride.
