Happy Independence Day!

While you may know this time of year for fireworks and hot dogs, cowboys and cowgirls all over the United States and Canada gear up for non-stop rodeoing all over North America.

From the World’s Oldest Rodeo in Prescott, Arizona, up to Canada for the infamous ten-day Calgary Stampede, you never know where you might run into your favorite cowboys or cowgirls.

Did you know you can keep up with them on their social media pages? Most of these athletes will post their schedule so their fans know when to watch them in their hometowns or tune in to the Cowboy Channel for the live action.

Many rodeos will wrap up on the 5th, but the action doesn’t stop there. July is the busiest rodeo month of the year. Athletes can make major moves in world standings to try to claim their spot in the top 15 and earn a chance to compete for a world title in Las Vegas in December.

The 2025 rodeo season will end September 30, and the 2026 season will begin October 1.

As of July 3, here’s how the world leaders are looking in the Pro Rodeo standings
