For the fifth consecutive year, PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Canada’s elite Cup Series will buck into Brandon, Manitoba, holding the PBR Mazergroup Chute Out at Assiniboine Credit Union Place on May 1-2, 2026.
PBR Canada’s Cup Series, which set tour records in eleven cities in 2025, welcoming more than 75,000 fans, regularly features Canada’s best riders alongside some of the organization’s top international athletes, squaring off against the rankest bucking bulls from across the nation.
For two nights only, fans will witness exhilarating 8-second rides and wrecks throughout the unpredictable, action-packed event as the PBR’s courageous bull-riding athletes face off against their 1,800-pound opponents born to buck.
The PBR Mazergroup Chute Out will mark the third event of the 2026 regular season for PBR Canada’s premier Cup Series.
When the Cup Series last travelled to Brandon in May 2025, Jake Gardner (Fort St. John, British Columbia) went a perfect 3-for-3 to win the event and further his then grasp on the No. 1 rank in the Canadian national standings.
Gardner got off to a quick start in Round 1, delivering the second-best score when he rode Red Rust (Vold Rodeo) for 84 points. The British Columbia native then overtook the top spot on the event leaderboard courtesy of an 86-point ride in Round 2 aboard Kraken (Skori Bucking Bulls). With the first pick in the championship round bull draft, Gardner selected Patiently Waiting (Skor Bucking Bulls). Nodding with confidence, Gardner reached the requisite 8 for 86 points to clinch the victory.
Gardner’s golden finish earned him 128.5 national points, as he grew his then lead to 116 points over new No. 2 Dakota Buttar (Eatonia, Saskatchewan). Other past PBR Canada Cup Series event winners in Brandon are: Weston Davidson (2024 – Strongfield, Saskatchewan); Aaron Roy (2023 – Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan) and Blake Smith (2022 –Abbey, Saskatchewan).
