Fox Nation has signed its first deal in the live sports arena, becoming the exclusive Friday night broadcast partner in the US for the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Camping World Team Series.

Beginning on August 8th, the PBR Friday Night Live series will begin in Sunrise, FL and will continue weekly through the autumn with 10 Friday Night Teams broadcasts across the country culminating with league’s championship opener on October 24th at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

In the lead up to the live weekly team events, the platform will roll out season 2 of the popular series Last Cowboy Standing beginning on July 11th. With 10 all-new weekly episodes, eight amateur bull riders attempt to make history as they compete in a series of rides and one-of-a-kind challenges for a fast pass to their dreams, entrance into the individual bull riding competition, Unleash the Beast, and the opportunity to join a PBR team. Viewers will have behind the scenes access inside their journey as riders attempt to avoid elimination until there is one final winner.

FOX Nation president Lauren Petterson commented: “We could not ask for a better partner to kick off our first foray into live sports. PBR is an incredibly unique sport with an unrivaled, passionate fan base, and it’s a great addition to the entire Fox Nation viewer experience.”

PBR CEO and Commissioner Sean Gleason, added: “We’re thrilled to build on our strong partnership with Fox Nation to deliver live coverage of Friday Night Teams and the second season of Last Cowboy Standing. Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo was a breakout hit in May for Fox Nation, proving that their devoted audience is eager for exciting Western sports content. The Fox platform is a perfect stage to showcase our athletes’ stories of grit, courage, and determination.”

On May 16, FOX Nation exclusively streamed Kid Rock’s Rock N Rodeo, a modernized team-based rodeo infused with a full concert from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
