If there’s one event my family looks forward to every year, it’s when the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) rolls into Salt Lake City. For the past two years, we’ve cheered, gasped, and held our breath through some of the most exciting eight seconds in sports — and I’m thrilled to share that PBR is coming back for its third year at the Delta Center, February 6–7, 2026!

When I say we’ve learned to love this sport, I mean it. Before that first event, I didn’t know much about bull riding beyond what you see in movies. But after experiencing it live, surrounded by the energy of the crowd, the power of the bulls, and the sheer grit of the riders — we were hooked. It’s fast-paced, family-friendly, and surprisingly heartwarming. You find yourself rooting not just for the riders but for the incredible animal athletes, too.

Watching PBR at the Delta Center is always a thrill. The arena comes alive with fans from all over Utah, from diehard rodeo followers to first-timers like we once were. The mix of music, lights, and pure adrenaline makes it an unforgettable night for families, couples, or anyone who loves great live entertainment.

Last year, we were part of a sold-out crowd as veteran rider Eduardo Aparecido from Brazil went a perfect 3-for-3, capping off the weekend with a stunning 90.25-point ride on legendary bull Ricky Vaughn. The crowd went absolutely wild! That’s the kind of energy you can expect when PBR takes over Salt Lake City again this February.

This upcoming event marks the 8th stop on the 2026 Unleash The Beast season. The top bull riders in the world will battle it out for world points as they work toward qualifying for the 2026 PBR World Finals in Texas this May.

For anyone new to the world of PBR, here’s a quick refresher: the Professional Bull Riders organization is the world’s premier bull riding circuit, featuring more than 1,000 riders who compete across over 200 events annually. The PBR Unleash The Beast tour showcases the very best of the best — the riders, the bulls, and the heart-pounding action that’s made it a worldwide phenomenon.

The Delta Center itself is a fantastic venue for it all. Home to the Utah Jazz and the Utah Mammoth, it’s Salt Lake City’s go-to spot for big events. And with its ongoing renovation, it’s only getting better — bigger seating, upgraded facilities, and an electric atmosphere that amplifies every second of the show.

PBR’s return to Salt Lake City promises to be one of the most exciting events of 2026. The determination, courage, and sheer athleticism on display make this a show you’ll be talking about long after the bulls leave the arena.

So grab your boots (or at least your sneakers), round up the family, and mark your calendar for February 6–7, 2026.Trust me — this is one event that will have everyone cheering, laughing, and maybe even jumping out of their seats.

🎟️ Tickets go on sale Friday, October 10 at 10 a.m. MST. Visit PBR.com, DeltaCenter.com, or SeatGeek.com to snag yours early.
