 The CW Network and PBR (Professional Bull Riders) today announced a new multi-year agreement that will make The CW the exclusive live broadcast home of PBR Teams series events on Sundays through 2029.

Beginning with the 2027 season, The CW will broadcast 13 Sunday PBR Teams series events live at 3:30pm/ET, 12:30pm/PT, creating a consistent weekly viewing destination for fans of the league’s five-on-five team competition featuring the world’s top bull riders. The new multi-year agreement extends The CW’s relationship with PBR, which began during the 2025 season.

 

“PBR has become a staple of our CW Sports weekend programming over the last two years, so we are thrilled to continue our broadcast partnership with the PBR Teams series,” said Mike Perman, Senior Vice President, CW Sports. “The national broadcast reach of The CW paired with a regular Sunday timeslot every weekend throughout the season will help grow this fast-paced, adrenaline-packed sport with fans around the country.”

 

“PBR Teams has built an audience that wants to follow the league wherever it goes, and The CW gives fans a clear, consistent Sunday appointment,” said Sean Gleason, CEO and Commissioner, PBR. “The CW has been an important partner in expanding access to PBR Teams, and this agreement makes it easier for fans across the country to find the action, support their team and stay connected to the sport.”

 

PBR Teams series events will be broadcast live on The CW Network as well as stream live via CW Sports on The ESPN App with an ESPN Unlimited subscription.
