Missouri Thunder
PBR Teams Cowboy Days presented by Patriot Mobile is the eighth event of the 2026 season, and all 10 teams are in Greensboro, North Carolina, for a weekend that opened with Missouri holding its place near the top. The Missouri Thunder beat the Austin Gamblers 262.30-176.25 on opening night and stayed tied atop the standings at 15-6 with the Nashville Stampede. Paulo Eduardo Rossetto gave Missouri a record moment as well, setting a PBR Teams mark for the club with his 14th consecutive qualified ride. That broke the previous record of 13 straight qualified rides and added another strong line to Missouri’s start in Greensboro. Missouri’s Jose Vitor Leme also sits in the thick of the MVP race, leading teammate Rossetto by 2.55 points. The Thunder’s result gave the event an early focal point, with a record ride, a lopsided win and a team that kept its share of first place after the first night of competition.
Nashville Stampede
Nashville matched Missouri at 15-6 by edging the Texas Rattlers 87.60-86, a narrow win that kept the Stampede level with the Thunder after the opening night of Cowboy Days. The result fits a standings race that has little room between the front-runners and the chasing pack. The Carolina Cowboys sit third at 12-8, two games behind the leaders, and five regular-season events remain before Las Vegas. That leaves Carolina within reach, but it also puts pressure on every remaining match as the regular season moves toward its finish. Nashville’s narrow win mattered because it preserved the tie at the top and kept the Stampede from falling behind Missouri after the first round of games. With both clubs sitting on the same record, the weekend already has a clear race for first place, and the margin behind them shows how much ground the other contenders still need to cover.
Carolina Cowboys
Carolina added to the night by winning its own match, and the Cowboys were joined by the Kansas City Outlaws and New York Mavericks as winners on opening night. Those results gave the standings another layer of movement behind the top two teams, even with the leaders still sharing first place. The broadcast schedule also widened the reach of the event. All five Saturday games were set to air live on The CW, and the weekend lineup includes a Carolina vs. Oklahoma matchup and a Nashville vs. Texas matchup on CBS. That gives Cowboy Days a full slate of visibility as the event continues in Greensboro. The setup also keeps attention on the teams that opened strongest, since the leaders have already separated themselves from the rest of the field. The other opening-night winners kept the pressure on the leaders while the schedule moved deeper into the weekend.
