Beginning in 2024, the WRWC Champions will be crowned in Arlington, Texas, at AT&T Stadium, following a multi-day qualification event in Fort Worth at the iconic Cowtown Coliseum.

After four days of competition inside Cowtown Coliseum from May 13-16, 2024, the Championship Round of the Women’s Rodeo World Championship will conclude inside the home of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys alongside 2024 PBR World Finals Championship on May 18-19, 2024, where each WRWC event champion will be crowned, earning the lion’s share of the massive $750,000 purse.

“We are proud to have the world’s best female rodeo athletes displaying their skills at 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.”
