Wrangler NFR Las Vegas 2023 & Broadcast Guide
The 2023 Wrangler NFR Las Vegas will be televised on the nd simulcast on RFD-TV. Both channels have identified Pivot Bio as their Presenting Television Sponsor.
In addition to being the official network of ProRodeo, the Cowboy Channel is also the first 24/7 network that entirely covers western sports and lifestyles. The broadcast schedule is yet to be officially announced for the 2023 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas at the Thomas & Mack Center between December 7-16.
The NFR Las Vegas Rodeo is dubbed the Super Bowl of Rodeo because it consists of 10 rounds of professional rodeo over 10 days as the top 15 cowboys and cowgirls compete for a world championship, a gold buckle, and a share of millions in prize money.
From 7th December through 16th December, Cowboy Channel will have the best on-air talent team to bring all the rodeo action to our screens.
As the main hosts of the richest and most prestigious rodeo in ProRodeo, Jeff Medders and Butch Knowles will celebrate their 31st anniversary of broadcasting the NFR.

From 2021, Pivot Bio will sponsor the Cowboy Channel’s broadcast of this live limited commercial show.
