The University of Wyoming Rodeo team will be well represented at the 2026 College National Finals Rodeo (CNFR), sending 16 Cowboys and Cowgirls to compete on college rodeo's biggest stage. The week-long championship runs June 14-20 at the Casper Events Center in Casper, Wyoming, bringing together the nation's top collegiate rodeo athletes. Wyoming enters the CNFR after another strong season in the Central Rocky Mountain Region, with qualifiers competing in saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, bull riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, team roping, barrel racing, breakaway roping and goat tying. The team looks to continue its tradition of success in front of a home-state crowd.
