The PBR Challenger Series is the Professional Bull Riders’ national developmental tour that gives bull riders—both affiliated and unaffiliated with PBR Teams—additional competitive opportunities and a pathway toward higher-level PBR events and season championships. This edition of the Challenger Series takes place at the KFC Yum! Center in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, a large multi-purpose arena that regularly hosts major sports and entertainment events and brings professional bull riding to the city’s central venue.
