Full 2026 Hondo Rodeo Phoenix Lineup, Schedule and How to Watch

The rodeo has arrived in downtown Phoenix. Cowboy hats could be seen all over the Phoenix Suns crowd, and now it is time for them to take over the home of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Hondo Rodeo Fest begins on Friday evening at Chase Park and it will bring together some of professional rodeo’s biggest names for three nights of intense competition.
Up for grabs is $1 million in prize money and the World Champions have arrived to take a swing at gathering their piece of it.
Here is everything you need to know about the schedule, how to watch and the full contestant lineup.
How to Watch the 2026 Hondo Rodeo Fest
The Hondo Rodeo Fest is offering a livestream through its official website. Fans can find the stream at TheHondoRodeo.com/live, that should take you to a YouTube video player for the Phoenix event.
The rodeo festivities will begin at 6 p.m. Mountain Standard Time each night, which is 8 p.m. Eastern and 7 p.m. Central.
Of course, the best way to capture all the action would be in person. Doors open at 5 p.m. local time.
