Find your local CW station
The CW is carried through local stations with different channel numbers. Search your DIRECTV guide for PBR Teams Championship and select the November 7 or November 8 entry. Confirm the local time shown, station and account access.
Our CW station additions guide provides background. Current availability depends on the service address, delivery service and lineup. A station carried in another market does not establish access at your address.
Select the right day and program
The two announced broadcasts are separate guide entries. Schedule each one if you want both. Check the program title and date rather than using a general bull-riding search result, which could be a different event or replay.
This guide covers the confirmed CW broadcasts. It does not promise television coverage of every championship session or an unverified Friday streaming route. Check the particular provider listing before relying on any other viewing option.
Recording and app checks
If you plan to record, confirm that both entries appear in your scheduled-recordings list and review any available extension setting. Live competition can run beyond a scheduled slot. Recording features, storage and later access depend on your equipment and plan.
If watching through an app, test your account and device before the broadcast. App compatibility, channel entitlement and viewing away from home are separate checks. No universal access, replay window or on-demand copy is promised.
Before changing television service
Review the current lineup and recurring charges for the actual address and service you select. Check any promotional period, equipment requirements and cancellation terms. This page quotes no package price or trial offer and makes no claim about unverified team seeds, records or bracket details.
