Nov 25

Tickets for PBR Freedom Days, showcasing Florida’s first-ever professional bull riding team, go on sale Dec. 3 at 10 a.m. ET

SUNRISE, Fla. – The Florida Freedom today announced that their annual PBR Camping World Team Series homestand, PBR Freedom Days, will return to Amerant Bank Arena for the growing league’s fourth season on Aug. 8-10, 2025.

 

Tickets for the event go on sale Dec. 3 at 10 a.m. ET and start at $20 taxes and fees not included. They can be purchased online at SeatGeek.com and PBR.com, at the Amerant Bank Arena Box Office or by calling PBR customer service at (800) 732-1727.

 

The Freedom are Florida’s only professional bull riding team, competing in a league which transforms bull riding from an individual to team-formatted competition. The Freedom were one of eight founding teams and relocated to South Florida prior to the 2024 season when the league expanded to 10 teams.    

 

The Florida Freedom compete under the leadership of Head Coach, 10-time PBR World Finals qualifier and Ring of Honor inductee Paulo Crimber. In a dynamic rarely seen in professional sports, the Freedom’s roster is led by Crimber’s son, teenage phenom John Crimber. The younger Crimber, 19, led the league in scoring in 2024 and was crowned both the PBR Teams MVP and PBR Teams Championship MVP.

 

After the Freedom finished the regular-season No. 3 in the league with a 16-12 record, they advanced all the way to Championship Sunday of the 2024 PBR Teams Championship, courtesy of two dramatic walk-off wins delivered by Crimber, ultimately concluding the post-season tournament fourth. 

 

In addition to Crimber, the Freedom will return a talent-packed roster including the likes of Brazilian powerhouses Alex CerqueiraElizmar Jeremias, Thiago Salgado and Yan Victor Cunha.

 

When the Freedom debuted inside the home of the NHL’s reigning Stanley Cup winning Florida Panthers, they delivered two clutch wins for their hometown fans. After Crimber carried his team to a thrilling walk-off win Saturday night against the Oklahoma Wildcatters, Florida throttled the Missouri Thunder on the final day of their homestand, beating them by three ride scores as the Freedom covered 80% of their bovine athlete opponents.

 

Overall event attendance for the 2024 PBR Teams season increased 15% compared to 2023, and several CBS Game of the Week broadcasts drew more than 2 million average viewers. The on-the-dirt product has never been better, demonstrated in the increase in riding percentages to 40.38% across the 2024 season.

 

The bull riding action for the 2025 PBR Camping World Team Series’ Freedom Days at Amerant Bank Arena begins at 7:45 p.m. ET on Friday, Aug. 8, 6:45 p.m. ET on Saturday, Aug. 9 and 1:45 p.m. ET on Sunday, Aug. 10.

PBR Teams, launched in July 2022, builds on the existing structure of professional bull riding with the same basic rules for judging and scoring qualified 8-second bull rides. In events staged in a tournament-style format, all teams compete in head-to-head matchups against a different opponent each day. Each game features five riders per team squaring off against another team. Full team rosters are comprised of seven riders on the Protected Roster and five Reserve riders. The team with the highest aggregate score of qualified rides among its riders is declared the winner of each game.
