ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - When PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Unleash The Beast (UTB) returns toThe Pit from Friday, March 27 through Sunday, March 29, 2026, for the PBR Albuquerque Ty Murray Invitational, the three-day event will mark the 28th year the sport’s elite tour has visited Albuquerque.

New Mexico 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 Duke City, Brazilian athlete Paulo Eduardo Rossetto (Colorado, Brazil) delivered an impressive 3-for-4 weekend to seal the deal as the champion and earn his first ever elite series win.

Just like Rossetto’s quest last March, the world’s top bull riders will arrive in New Mexico determined for a win at the 15th stop of the 18-event premier tour season. 

The crucial world points on the line in Albuquerque will set the world standings leaderboard late in the season as the battle toward the 2026 world title intensifies.

The top bull riders in the world will take to the dirt both Friday, Mar. 27 and Saturday, Mar. 28 at 6:45 p.m. MT and then the action culminates at 1:45 p.m. MT on Sunday, Mar. 29 to crown an event champion. 

Tickets are available at the The Pit Box Office, PBR.com, and GoLobos.com. Additionally, PBR Rewards members can call 800-732-1727.
