The NFR dates back from its inception in 1959 and from there on, it is held annually by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA). The organizers have set up no age limit for the occasion as the finest cowboys from any age bracket are welcome wholeheartedly. It is not only the test of the mettle of the contestants but also their mounts.

The NFR festival is about to begin in Las Vegas Nevada as the fans have started to pour into the world’s fight capital. Here is what you need to know about the National Finals Rodeo 2022, including live stream, TV channels where it will be broadcasted, and prize money for the event.

How to watch the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo 2022

The Wrangler NFR was historically telecasted on ESPN in early 2000. It was overtaken by CBS Sports Network which televised the event from 2014 to 2019. But since the COVID-19 pandemic, The Cowboy Channel has been the home of the annual NFR gala. You can watch all the action of the NFR by tuning into the Cowboy Channel on your TV sets and enjoying yourselves with the exuberant display of the finest athletes at their work.

Besides that, RFD-TV will also be co-presenting the event to its audience, especially those living in the countryside. Things are already shaping up nicely and it’s the event you don’t want to miss.

CBS Network has also got the exclusive rights to broadcast the 2022 Wrangler NFR Championship. The ten-day festival will be covered by CBS but not all the events will be telecasted live.
