The event in Albany later this winter is an exciting stop for the PBR tour as riders in town will attempt to accumulate the season-long points necessary to be crowned PBR World Champion.

The upcoming PBR Albany Invitational will be just the fifth event of the new individual season and will highlight New York State's first-ever World Champion!

PBR’s return to Albany comes to upstate New York at a great time, as one of its best riders comes from just outside of Buffalo. Young gun Daylon Swearingen, 23, from Piffard, NY became the first rider from New York to be crowned the PBR World Champion in 2022, and the young star is scheduled to ride that weekend!

Swearingen is now 17th in all-time money earned in PBR competition with his career earnings topping more than $2.21 million.

Tickets can be purchased online at ticketmaster.com and PBR.com, at the MVP Arena Box Office, or by calling PBR customer service at 1-800-732-1727.
