Arizona Ridge Riders return to Desert Diamond Arena for 2025 Homestand October 10 – 12, Marking Final Regular-Season Event of PBR Camping World Team Series

Tickets for fourth annual PBR Ridge Rider Days, showcasing Arizona’s professional bull riding team, on sale now



Arizona’s professional bull riding team, the Teton Ridge-owned Arizona Ridge Riders, will host their annual PBR Camping World Team Series homestand, which transforms bull riding from an individual to team-formatted competition, PBR Ridge Rider Days, at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale October 10-12, 2025. 

Ridge Rider Days will mark the crucial final event of the 2024 PBR Teams regular season before all 10 pro-teams from around the country make their way to battle for the Championship in Las Vegas. The league’s fourth season will then conclude in Las Vegas October 24-26 when the teams will go head-to-head in the PBR Teams Championship.

A combination of grit, determination and resilience wrapped into one steadfast group of athletes, the Ridge Riders team features a collection of the world’s top competitors under the leadership of General Manager Casey Lane and Coach Colby Yates.

In 2024 the Ridge Riders closed out the regular-season dominating their homestand event, riding four of their five bulls on Sunday afternoon, downing the Missouri Thunder 348.0 – 87.25 to go 3-0 in Desert Diamond Arena.

Courtesy of the flawless weekend in Glendale, the home state team finished the 12-event regular season No. 5 in aggregate points, ahead of the Austin Gamblers and Missouri Thunder, heating up when it counted most as they made their way to the wild card Ride-In Round in Las Vegas. 

The bull riding action for the 2025 PBR Ridge Rider Days at Desert Diamond Arena begins at 7:45PM MT on Friday, October 10, 6:45PM MT on Saturday, October 11, and 1:45PM MT on Sunday, October 12.

Tickets for the three-day event are on sale now, and range in price from $35 to $130. They can be purchased online at Ticketmaster.com and PBR.com, at the Desert Diamond Arena Box Office, or by calling PBR customer service at 1-800-732-1727.

PBR Elite Seats are available for avid fans in Glendale who want an exclusive VIP experience while enjoying the world’s top bull riding circuit. These tickets, available in three tiers, offer premium seats, personal on-site concierge at the PBR fan loyalty booth, and more. For more on elite seats, visit Ticketmaster.com, or call 1-800-732-1727.

PBR’s return to Glendale comes on the heels of a triumphant 2024 for the Teams league. Overall event attendance for the 2024 PBR Teams season increased 15% compared to 2023, and several CBS Game of the Week broadcasts drew more than 2 million average viewers. The on-the-dirt product has never been better, demonstrated in the increase in riding percentages to 40.38% across the league (about 10 percent higher than individual competition).

Teams competition builds on the existing structure of professional bull riding with the same basic rules for judging and scoring qualified 8-second bull rides. Events are structured in a tournament-style format with teams competing in head-to-head matchups against a different opponent each day.

In each game, five riders on a team square off against another team. Full team rosters are comprised of up to seven riders on the Protected Roster and up to five Reserve Roster members. The team with the highest aggregate score of qualified rides among its riders is declared the winner of each game.
