The National Finals Rodeo (NFR) is a premier championship rodeo event in the United States, showcasing the top 15 contestants in seven rodeo events: bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, saddle bronc riding, tie-down roping, barrel racing, and bull riding.
The 2023 NFR is scheduled to take place from December 7 to 16 at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. For rodeo fans in Mexico, there are several ways to watch the NFR 2023.
