If the National Finals Rodeo is the Super Bowl of rodeo, the All-Around title is the Vince Lombardi Trophy. In a sensational late twist, Coleman Proctor has leapfrogged Shad Mayfield in the standings, setting up a grandstand finale at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas tonight.

Read on as we explain how to watch National Finals Rodeo 2024 live online — Americans and Canadians abroad can watch it from anywhere with a VPN.

National Finals Rodeo 2024 live streams: TV schedule, date, channels

The 2024 National Finals Rodeo started on Thursday, December 5 and runs until Saturday, December 14.
• U.S. — The Cowboy Channel (via Sling TV, RFD-TV Now or Cowboy Channel Plus)
• Canada — The Cowboy Channel
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk-free

With five-time back-to-back champion Stetson Wright still recovering from an injury he sustained at last year’s event, the All-Around crown is guaranteed to change hands for the first time since 2019. Even then, nobody saw Proctor's late show coming, not least Mayfield and Junior Nogueira, who were both ahead of him just last night.

Ahead of the 66th NFR, it had looked as if Hailey Kinsel was peaking at just the right time, and so it could prove, with the cowgirl atop the Barrel Racing standings. However, with Kassie Mowry less than $11,000 shy, it's set up to be one of the events of the night.

Tie-Down Roping is looking tight too, with reigning champion Riley Webb only $24,000 better off than Mayfield. Cast your mind back to the start of the event however, and Mayfield had what had looked an insurmountable lead. This could be a rough night.

It's the final night, and here's how to watch National Finals Rodeo 2024 live streams online and from anywhere in the world.

The Cowboy Channel is the place to watch the 2024 National Finals Rodeo in the U.S.

As well as being available to watch on a variety of cable packages, The Cowboy Channel is also carried by several OTT streaming services. For example, it's included in DirecTV's Ultimate and Premier packages, costing $115/month and $160/month respectively.

Or, for a much more affordable option, The Cowboy Channel is included in the Heartland Extra add-on for Sling TV. You need one of Sling TV's base Orange or Blue plans to start with — they cost from $40/month, with your first month half price — and then Heartland Extra costs only $6/month extra.

Alternatively, you could watch via RFD-TV Now, which costs $89.99 a year, or Cowboy Channel Plus, which costs $119.99 per year.

And remember, if you're usually based in the U.S. but aren't there at the moment, you can still watch the services you already subscribe to via a streaming VPN such as NordVPN — meaning you can access a National Finals Rodeo live stream from anywhere in the world.

If you don't get The Cowboy Channel on cable, you'll want to consider subscribing to Sling TV. A subscription costs from $40/month and includes dozens of other great channels. New users typically save 50% on their first month.
