Oklahoma Wildcatters announce 2025 PBR Camping World team series game schedule

OKLAHOMA City – Ahead of the fourth season for the groundbreaking PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Teams league, the Oklahoma Wildcatters, the Sooner State’s only professional bull riding team, today announced their 2025 game schedule.

The Oklahoma Wildcatters were one of two new bull riding teams that joined the PBR Teams league prior to the 2024 season, making their home at Paycom Center, also home to the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder.

The 2025 PBR Camping World Team Series season, beginning on July 11-13 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, will include home stand events hosted by each of the league’s 10 teams, accompanied by two, multi-day neutral site events. During the 2025 regular season, fans will see every team riding on each event day, which will consist of five separate five-on-five, headto- head games. Teams will now play 35 games during the regular season, up from 28. Last season, event days consisted of four games and a shootout round, which was eliminated.

The season will conclude in Las Vegas for the 2025 PBR Teams Championship when all 10 teams will compete inside T-Mobile Arena from Oct. 24-26, battling through a progressive elimination format to become the 2025 PBR Teams Champions.

The Oklahoma Wildcatters will launch the league’s fourth season as they host their secondannual home stand, Wildcatter Days, on July 11-13 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, at Paycom Center. During their event, they will play the 2023 PBR Teams Champion Texas Rattlers (July 11), Arizona Ridge Riders (July 12) and 2024 PBR Teams Champion Austin Gamblers (July 13).

Their showdown with the Rattlers during their home stand will mark the first of four iterations of bull riding’s version of the Red River Showdown. In 2024, Texas won the series against Oklahoma, winning two of three games. This season, Oklahoma will also play Texas on Aug. 17 in Nashville, Tennessee, Aug. 7 in Anaheim, California, and Sept. 26 in Fort Worth, Texas, as the Wildcatters look to win the 2025 series.

The Wildcatters will also take on the Lone Star State’s Austin Gamblers four times as they look to establish Oklahoma as the premier bull riding state in the coun-try, eager to dethrone the league’s reigning Champions and bring the world title to the Sooner State this October. In addition to their game during Wildcatter Days, the Wildcatters will play the Gamblers on Aug. 16 in Nashville. Sept. 6 in Anaheim, and Sept. 28 in Fort Worth.
