Florida Freedom hosts
PBR Freedom Days presented by Breedlove Wound Care brings the PBR Team Series to Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, Florida, and gives Florida Freedom its only home stand of the 2026 regular season. The stop is No. 3 on the series calendar, and it draws all 10 PBR teams to South Florida for a three-day slate from Friday through Sunday. That means the Freedom will ride in front of their own fans all weekend while the full league field comes through the building. Friday opens at 7:45 p.m. ET on Paramount+. Saturday follows at 6:45 p.m. ET, with The CW carrying a same-day tape delay at 10 p.m. ET. Sunday closes the event at 1:45 p.m. ET on The CW. CBS will also feature the Florida stop in its Game of the Week package on Sunday at noon ET, when the New York Mavericks face the Florida Freedom. The schedule gives the home team three straight days in one building, and it puts the third stop in a national spotlight for fans who want the full Team Series field in one place. For Florida, this is the only regular-season chance to compete at home, so the weekend carries a familiar backdrop from the opening ride to the final out.
Florida Freedom standings
Florida enters the weekend third in the standings at 3-2, and it starts against the 3-2 Missouri Thunder. That opener gives the Freedom an early test against a team with the same record, and it sets the tone before the national TV matchup on Sunday. Boudreaux Campbell is expected to make his season debut for Florida this weekend, adding a fresh piece to the home roster as the event unfolds. The spotlight grows larger on Sunday, when CBS’s Game of the Week sends the New York Mavericks against the Florida Freedom at noon ET. That broadcast gives Florida another high-profile look before The CW closes the stop later in the day. With the only home stand of the regular season in front of them, the Freedom have a compact weekend that starts with Missouri and moves to New York, with every performance landing in the same arena. Florida’s place near the top of the standings makes the opener important, and the home date gives the team a chance to strengthen that position on familiar ground.
PBR Team Series field
The rest of the field brings several league storylines into Sunrise. Nashville became the first team to top 1,000 aggregate points, a benchmark that marks the pace at the top of the Team Series. Texas is tied for first at 4-1, though it will be without injured Claudio Montanha Jr. for the event. Carolina is expected to add Derek Kolbaba and Ezekiel Mitchell, giving the team two more riders for the Florida stop. Arizona’s matchup with Carolina also will highlight newly acquired closer Keyshawn Whitehorse. Those notes matter because Freedom Days is more than a home event for Florida. All 10 teams are in the building, and several of them arrive with standings pressure, roster changes or both. That combination gives the stop a wider reach than a normal home date. It is a checkpoint for the league, a test for the teams at the top and a showcase for a Florida club trying to use home dirt to its advantage before the weekend closes.
