24th Annual New Year's Eve Buck & Ball
If you’re looking for a New Year’s Eve that delivers adrenaline, entertainment, and a full-throttle countdown to midnight, this is the event everyone will be talking about.
It’s the BIGGEST and FINAL rodeo of the year — the one night where the energy is unmatched and the stakes couldn’t be higher. After another powerhouse season filled with sold-out crowds and unforgettable rides, the 24th Annual New Year’s Eve Buck & Ball, presented First National Bank along with CINCH, is roaring back to deliver one of the premier rodeo celebrations of 2026.
It all goes down December 31 at the CAM-PLEX in Gillette, and you won’t want to miss a second of it.
Watch top PRCA cowboys, fresh off their runs at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, battle it out for a record-setting $75,000 purse on the best NFR-caliber stock in the country. Fans and sponsors will be treated to elite action in PRCA Bareback Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding, and Bull Riding — all packed into one adrenaline-charged night.
Burch Rodeo is bringing the heat straight from Las Vegas, teaming up with leading stock contractors to guarantee world-class rides in every event. The Buck & Ball features both a long round and a short round, with the top four riders in each discipline advancing to compete for their share of over $75,000 in prize money.
IT'S A SELL OUT SHOW!
