The Cowboy Channel, the official network of ProRodeo and Home of the National Finals Rodeo NFR Live, will broadcast live a special matinee rodeo performance of the Wrangler NFR on December 5th, at 1pm ET/12pm CT/11am MT/10 am PT.
This special Go Round of the Wrangler NFR, initially scheduled for Thursday, December 7th, was canceled due to the tragic events that occurred on the UNLV Campus on Wednesday, December 6th. The original $11.5 million purse will remain the same and be paid out in full over the 10 rounds and now nine days of competition versus the original 10 days of competition previously scheduled.
According to the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Board of Directors and Las Vegas Events Board of Trustees, there will be no public access to this round, so the only way to watch the competition is to tune in to The Cowboy Channel and PRCA on Cowboy Channel+. It’s important to note that due to the timing of this special Wednesday matinee of the Wrangler NFR Go Round.
The performance will not broadcast live on RFD-TV and will broadcast exclusively only on The Cowboy Channel and be available for live stream on PRCA on Cowboy Channel+. Viewers are encouraged to tune in for the special Wrangler NFR Go Round broadcast at 1 pm ET, or if unable to watch live, to hit record on their cable/satellite DVR. Then, at 8:45 pm ET.
The Wrangler NFR Round 7 will air as originally scheduled, and the broadcast schedule for the Wrangler National Finals Rounds on The Cowboy Channel and RFD-TV will continue as planned, broadcasting every day between now and Saturday, December 16th
