The Pro Bull Riders tour will launch a new team competition that will complement its Unleash The Beast premier tour in 2022.
The PBR Team Series will run from June to November. Eight teams of riders will be featured in a 10-game regular season.
Each team will be based in a home market that will host an annual bull riding event and Western lifestyle festival. There also will be two neutral site league-produced events with a playoff championship.
The home markets, team rosters and playoff sites will be announced in early 2022.
The PBR is holding its 2021 championship finals at T-Mobile Arena through Sunday.
