The Calgary Stampede is known as the “Greatest Show on Dirt” and it is nearly over. The past nine days have been full of incredible competition from cowboys and cowgirls trying to make their way to Showdown Sunday for a chance at a $50,000 bonus.

The roster has now been finalized and each event has narrowed the field to just nine who will take their best shot in the semi-finals. Of those nine, the four best times or scores will advance to the Showdown Round, where the $50,000 bonus will be awarded.

No times or scores carry forward to the semi-finals, which means that on Sunday everyone starts at zero again and has to put their best foot forward in order to advance one more time to the Showdown Round.

Here is who you can expect to see competing in each event.

With this roster of contestants, the competition is sure to be nail-biting all the way through. The final Showdown is a performance that changes the trajectory of the year for these contestants. The $50,000 win usually nearly guarantees a trip to the National Finals Rodeo given what they have earned up to that point.

It is very rare that a contestant who comes out on top at the Calgary Stampede is not seen in Las Vegas in December. So far in 2026, the performances have been legendary, with arena records set. You can expect the same type of competition on Sunday when the best of the best take to the dirt in Canada.
