Oklahoma City home stand
Wildcatter Days presented by ZONE Premium Nicotine Pouches will bring the 2026 PBR Teams season to Paycom Center in Oklahoma City and give the Oklahoma Wildcatters their only home stand of the regular season. The event is the season’s second stop. It is also the league’s first three-day homestand of the year and the first three-day weekend on the 2026 PBR Team Series schedule. All 10 PBR teams will compete in five-on-five bull riding, so the full field will be in place from the opening ride through the final outs.
The stop also carries the league’s built-in showcase pieces. The weekend opens with the PBR Heroes and Legends Ceremony on PBR’s YouTube channel, and the 2026 Heroes & Legends inductee dinner is set for the night before at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. That gives Oklahoma City a full league weekend built around competition and recognition. For the Wildcatters, it is the lone chance to settle into home dirt during the regular season, and it comes in front of a crowd that will see every team on the same floor. The setup makes the event one of the most layered dates on the early schedule, with team riding, ceremony and a featured home stand tied to the same stop.
Broadcast coverage plans
Fans will have several ways to follow the event across the weekend. Coverage begins on Paramount+ for the opening day, then continues on The CW for the next two days. CBS will air the Day 2 featured matchups at noon ET, giving the middle card a national television window. The Heroes and Legends Ceremony also streams on PBR’s YouTube channel, which pushes the celebration side of the weekend out to the same audience following the competition.
The broadcast plan matches the scale of the stop. This is the league’s first three-day homestand of the year, and the schedule puts the action on streaming and broadcast platforms from start to finish. The setup gives the event a broad reach and keeps it visible across the full weekend, with the competition, the ceremony and the featured matchups all in front of fans without a break in the flow. For an early-season stop, that matters. It places Oklahoma City in the spotlight and gives the teams a stage that stretches across multiple outlets.
Team storylines develop
The Oklahoma Wildcatters carry the clearest local storyline into the event. They will be at home for the first time under head coach Greg Rhodes, and they arrive after a 1-1 opening weekend in Fort Collins. That record gives the club a starting point as it takes on its only home stand of the regular season. The return home also brings extra attention to Clay Guiton, who is back for the Carolina Cowboys after a February wreck. Carolina enters as the defending champion but needs a lift after going 0-for-5 in its final Fort Collins game.
The Texas Rattlers bring the hottest record in the field. They are undefeated heading into the event after a 6-for-10 start, and that early efficiency makes them a team to watch in the standings. Florida Freedom rider Austin Richardson adds another strong early-season line. He is coming off a 2-for-2 opening weekend that included a 90-point ride. Together, those threads give the stop a clear competitive frame. Oklahoma City gives the Wildcatters a home platform, gives Carolina a chance to answer, gives Texas a chance to keep rolling and gives Florida another chance to build on a fast start.
