The National Finals Rodeo (NFR) is carried primarily on The Cowboy Channel, with simulcast coverage on RFD-TV, and streaming through the Cowboy Channel+ app.
Main ways to watch
- Cable or satellite TV (USA & Canada)
- Tune to The Cowboy Channel and, where available, RFD-TV on providers like DISH, DirecTV, AT&T U-verse, Verizon Fios, Spectrum, Xfinity, Cox, Shaw, Bell, and others.
* Check your provider’s guide for the exact channel number in your area.
- Official streaming (best online option)
- Subscribe to Cowboy Channel+ , which live streams every NFR performance and offers on‑demand replays for a limited time.
* You can watch via its website or apps on iOS, Android, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and many smart TVs.
- Live TV streaming services
- Some packages from services like Sling TV and DirecTV Stream include The Cowboy Channel or RFD‑TV; these can be used to stream the NFR if the channel is in your plan.
* Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV currently do not carry The Cowboy Channel or RFD‑TV, so they generally cannot stream the NFR.
- What it’s not on
- The NFR is not available as part of Netflix, Disney+, standard Amazon Prime Video, or other general on‑demand platforms; any random “free NFR stream” sites are likely unauthorized.
If you say what country and whether you use cable or just streaming, it is possible to narrow this down to the simplest option for you.
