Over four adrenaline-fueled days, nearly 300 competitors will go head-to-head in team roping, breakaway roping and barrel racing at free-to-watch, live pre-qualifying events at the Cowtown Coliseum, 121 E. Exchange St. in Fort Worth. The excitement reaches its peak May 18, when the final championship showdown unfolds at AT&T Stadium during the 2024 PBR World Finals: Unleash The Beast – Championship.

During the WRWC, athletes will compete in four disciplines — breakaway roping, barrel racing and team roping (heading and heeling) — all vying for their share of the $750,000 purse along with a $20,000 all-around bonus. Champions in each discipline will earn a minimum of $60,000 each. In almost four years, the WRWC has awarded more than $3 million to women’s rodeo athletes.

From May 9-12, the rodeo will begin with a celebration and pre-qualifying competition in Fort Worth, the Cowgirl Gathering, which showcases spectacular, inspirational women from all walks of life who embody the spirit of the American cowgirl.

“We are proud to have the world’s best female rodeo athletes displaying their skills at Cowtown Coliseum, one of the most historic rodeo venues in the country, and ending with our championship performances at AT&T Stadium, the ultimate destination for Western sports enthusiasts worldwide,” said WRWC Commissioner Linsay Rosser-Sumpter. “To end the year on a high note at the home of the Dallas Cowboys will provide athletes and PBR fans with an unparalleled experience.”
