LINCOLN, Neb. – The PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Ram Challenger Series will return to Lincoln for the first time since the tour’s debut season in 2022 when it bucks into Pinnacle Bank Arena on Saturday, Oct. 17.

For one night only, some of the top bull riders in the world will battle the sport’s rankest bovine athletes in the ultimate showdown of man vs. beast in a series showcasing one of the most exciting live sporting events in the world.

The PBR Ram Challenger Series will host more than 50 events from May through November, before concluding with its Championship event in November in Las Vegas. The series provides additional competitive opportunities for bull riders who are both affiliated and unaffiliated with a PBR Teams league team.

The event will mark PBR’s sixth visit to Nebraska’s capital since 2020 and second time the Ram Challenger Series will appear in Lincoln, the first being in 2022. When the series last came to town, Wyatt Rogers earned the event buckle with an 87.50-point ride on Airplane of Death.

Action begins at 7 p.m. CT Saturday at Pinnacle Bank Arena where fans will see some of the sport’s best bull riders take on the world’s rankest bulls.

Each of the 35 competing bull riders will attempt one bull in Round 1. The Top 10 will advance to the championship round for one final ride and a chance at the event title.

For fans wanting to make this one-of-a-kind Saturday night even more memorable, VIP tickets are available. Guests can enjoy premium seating closest to the action and much more.
