NXTbets Pro | Published On: November 10, 2026
Bull of the Year race
PBR Canada has a tight race at the top of the 2026 Canadian Global Bull of the Year standings, and Eno Bucking Bulls’ SweetPro Choices leads the way. The bull sits 0.26 points ahead of reigning Bull of the Year Moonwalk, a narrow gap that leaves the title very much in play as the National Finals approach. Both bulls built their cases during the regular season, and both earned four YETI “Built for the Wild” Bull of the Event honors. That shared production keeps the race tight. SweetPro Choices has the edge in the standings, but Moonwalk still has a path to a repeat. The defending champion is chasing a place in the record book as the first back-to-back Bull of the Year in PBR Canada history, which gives the final stretch extra weight. With so little between the top two, every point matters, and the pressure now shifts to the final events of the season. SweetPro Choices enters as the leader. Moonwalk enters with history on the line.
National Finals stakes
The Bull of the Year race will play out alongside a high-paying National Finals, and the money on offer adds another layer to the championship weekend. PBR Canada says the event will pay out a record $279,000 overall, a mark that underscores how much is at stake at the top of the sport. The National Finals will also hand out a guaranteed $50,000 to the event winner and $100,000 to the 2026 PBR Canada Champion, creating a payoff structure that rewards both the short-term winner and the season-long titleholder. That combination turns the finale into more than a single-event showcase. It becomes the last chance for bulls and riders to cash in on a full season of work. The title race and the event purse now move together, with the same weekend set to shape the individual event winner and the national champion.
Top 10 contenders
SweetPro Choices and Moonwalk headline the list of top 10 contenders, but the rest of the field gives the award race its depth. Posty, Boogey, Dirty Habits, Night Fury, More or Less, Stray Bucks, Day Thuggin and Magic Jam round out the group competing for the 2026 Canadian Global Bull of the Year honor. That lineup shows how much quality PBR Canada had across the regular season. The standings may have a clear leader in SweetPro Choices, and Moonwalk remains close behind, but the full top 10 gives the National Finals a layered storyline. Each contender has earned a place in the conversation, and each one enters the finale with a chance to influence how the season is remembered. The award picture also highlights how strong the regular season was for bulls that consistently produced event honors and kept the standings compressed near the top. SweetPro Choices and Moonwalk may own the spotlight, but the rest of the contenders give the championship race its scope. The final ranking will come down to how the bulls perform when the season reaches its finish.
