Professional Bull Riders announced Wednesday they were bringing the World Finals back to Arlington beginning next year.
The crowning of the 2024 PBR World Champion at AT&T Stadium will cap four rounds of action that kick off the previous weekend in Fort Worth at Dickies Arena.
Organizers said Rounds 1-4 will take place May 10-13 in Fort Worth. The 2024 PBR World Finals: Unleash The Beast will conclude in Arlington on May 18-19 with Rounds 5 and 6 and the Championship Round.
The competition will be only part of the event. A slate of events, including concerts and fan-centric events, are being planned for the Stockyards, "making Fort Worth and Arlington crucial fan destinations in May for all things PBR."
