The 130th Brings Ten Days of Rodeo Action
For the first time, Cheyenne Frontier Days will feature ten consecutive rodeo performances, running July 17-26, extending the historic tournament-style format that crowns champions on Championship Sunday.
“We are proud to extend our rodeo performances to the first Friday of CFD,” said Cheyenne Frontier Days CEO, Tom Hirsig. “This will give rodeo fans one extra day to enjoy the fast-paced action at the Daddy of ‘em All.”
Daily rodeo tickets range from $26–$53, with a $3 discount available before July 1.
Xtreme Bulls Returns
The PRCA Xtreme Bulls returns July 20 and 21 for two nights. The event features the top 40 bull riders in the PRCA taking on the rankest bulls in rodeo. The money won at the CFD PRCA Xtreme Bulls counts toward the PRCA | Bill Fick Ford World Standings for bull riding, which determines qualifiers for the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.
Xtreme Bulls tickets range from $25–$95, with a $5 discount available before July 1.
New Chute 9 VIP Experience
Fans can experience the rodeo from the all-new Chute 9 VIP seating area. Chute 9 boxes offer premium views, dedicated service, and enhanced food and beverage options.
The removal of the existing Chute 9 allows CFD an historic opportunity for expansion of the VIP experience. The tables and stadium-style seating that will be available at Chute 9 offer CFD patrons the opportunity to upgrade for rodeo performances. Individual seats are $125 to $150 and will be available for purchase online.
Carnival, Chuckwagon, and More
The carnival midway hosted by Carnival Americana and Fun Biz Concessions, hundreds of vendors, and Western entertainment will also return to the Daddy of ‘em All.
Carnival Armbands are $45 per session or $155 for all ten days.
VIP Chuckwagon Experience tickets are $35 – $85 and now include an option for breakfast, along with the existing dinner and takeout option on the second Saturday.
Frontier Nights Concert Lineup Announcement – December 2
CFD will reveal some of the names in the 2026 Frontier Nights® concert lineup on December 2. Concert tickets will go on sale online only on Thursday, December 11 at 9 a.m. The CFD Ticket Office will reopen for in-person sales on December 12.
“Our fans have asked that we share performer names when we have them confirmed,” said Hirsig. “Since we were able to secure most of the names for the 2026 season at this point, we are now sharing what we have in hand, so that fans can start their summer entertainment plans now.”
