RFD-TV’s The American is a two-day event, making it the richest weekend in western sports. The American will have final qualification rounds on Saturday, March 6, and the finals round on Sunday, March 7. The Top 10 rodeo athletes in the world will compete against everyday cowboys and cowgirls for the biggest two-day payout in rodeo.

The rodeo is sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. The PRCA is recognized as the leader in sanctioning the sport of professional rodeo and hosts the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo (NFR) – the ultimate championship for the cowboy. Points earned at The American will count towards NFR qualification.

The American Rodeo Championship Weekend merges high-stakes rodeo action with performances from some of music's biggest stars, offering a blend of sport and entertainment. Fans can cheer on both rodeo’s reigning champions as well as underdog "Contenders" who are chasing life-changing payouts.

Standout athletes include eight-time World Champion Stetson Wright, 2025 Bareback World Champion Rocker Steiner, two-time Barrel Racing World Champion Kassie Mowry, three-time Tie-Down Roping World Champion Riley Webb, and 2024 Bull Riding World Champion Ky Hamilton.

Music performers will include Midland and Chris Young.
