Regina, Saskatchewan will once again host the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Canada's elite Cup Series, presented by Wrangler, as the PBR Regina Classic takes place at the Brandt Centre on June 21, 2023.
The PBR Canada Cup Series showcases Canada's top riders alongside international athletes, pitting them against formidable, intimidating bulls from across the nation. This thrilling one-night event promises exhilarating 8-second rides and awe-inspiring wrecks, as courageous bull-riders face off against their 2,000-pound opponents.
It is never all about the riders, as each PBR event features a lineup of talented bulls selected for their strength, agility, and bucking prowess. These remarkable animals are an integral part of the event, captivating audiences with their raw power and size, and are cared for and given all the comforts expected for the lineages, performances, and history they represent. The connection between rider and bull is a testament to the central relationship of the sport.
Scheduled during Canada's Farm Show Regina, SK, hosted at the Brandt Centre from June 20 to 22, the 2023 PBR Regina Classic coincides with one of North America's most significant agricultural shows. Canada's Farm Show Regina attracts a global audience and serves as a fitting backdrop for some intense bull-riding action.
The PBR Regina Classic marks the fifth stop in the nine-event 2023 PBR Canada Cup Series. Riders will be seeking every single point they can accumulate to carry them all the way to this year’s national championship.
The return to Regina follows a thrilling battle for the PBR Canada Championship in 2022. At the 2022 PBR Canada National Finals, nine riders vied for the title and the $50,000 bonus that accompanied it.
In the end, Nick Tetz of Calgary emerged as the 2022 PBR Canada Champion after an impressive come-from-behind surge, surpassing regular-season leader Dakota Buttar of Eatonia, Saskatchewan and fending off Brock Radford of De Winton, Alberta.
