Kicking off in Hermiston, Ore., August 12-15, 2026, the Farm-City Pro Rodeo is one of the biggest professional rodeos in the country, sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) and Women’s Professional Rodeo Association (WPRA).

With rodeo performances each night Thursday through Saturday, the action will be hot in Hermiston, as it is one of the final Playoffs Series rodeos where points count towards the CINCH Playoffs in Puyallup, Wash.

The Playoffs Tour is a key part of the entire season in professional rodeo, but crunch time is on, as the cutoff for points for the Tour Finale in Puyallup is August 24.

As some of the most lucrative rodeos of the entire year, and with the payouts heavily weighted in the month of September, the Playoffs Tour is crucial for athletes seeking National Finals Rodeo (NFR) qualifications.

Not only will every dollar in Hermiston be important for these cowboys and cowgirls, so will the points they earn for competing there.

Farm-City has announced several changes to its 2026 rodeo, including the addition of barrel racing slack on Tuesday evening.

Formerly a single-round rodeo, this year they have moved to a two-round format. Saturday night will host the Finals, with the top 12 contestants returning from the long round in each event.

The Farm-City Pro Rodeo also announced that in 2026, they had reached a new added-money high of $61,000 in every PRCA and WPRA event. Building on a payout increase from 2025, Farm-City shared on social media that it is now one of the top 10 highest-paying regular-season rodeos in the PRCA.

From the same release:

"Farm-City Pro Rodeo has always been committed to producing a world-class rodeo for contestants and fans alike," said the Farm-City Pro Rodeo Committee. "This investment reflects our dedication to the sport, our appreciation for the athletes who compete here, and our commitment to keeping Hermiston on the map as one of professional rodeo's premier destinations."

The day sheets for 2026 list many of the top competitors in the World Standings in each event, including many reigning champions from 2025.
