The American Western Weekend to Broadcast on FOX and FS1

Teton Ridge announced in December 2023 that it had signed a new three-year rights deal with FOX Sports to broadcast the popular tournament and grand finale of its Western sports events.

Teton Ridge Chief Executive Officer Deirdre Lester said, "Western sports are rising in popularity, lending to growth opportunities for scaling audiences, and Teton Ridge is dedicated to making Western culture, lifestyle, and sports accessible to more people than ever before. The three-year commitment FOX Sports has made to The American Western sports will provide fans and viewers at home with new ways to experience the American West."

FOX Sports is also thrilled to add Western sports to its lineup. Bill Wanger, Executive Vice President and Head of Programming and Scheduling at FOX Sports, said, "We believe that adding FOX Sports' reach to western sports will help bring the action to a whole new level."

Coming back for the second year, The American Performance Horseman is an epic event featuring the top five professionals from the National Reined Cow Horse Association, National Cutting Horse Association, and National Reining Horse Association. This was the first-of-its-kind competition format introduced by Teton Ridge in 2023.

The American Performance Horseman will air on Saturday, March 16, from 11:30 a.m. ET - 1:00 p.m. ET on FS1.

The American Rodeo features competitors in all eight traditional rodeo events. Fans can root for the underdog "Contenders" who will be chasing the $1 million bonus or cheer on their favorite professional athletes who are defending their champion status.

The American Rodeo will air on Saturday, March 16, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. ET on FOX.
