The 2026 Heroes & Legends Ceremony, recognized as a preeminent Western sports award ceremony, will be held on Thursday, July 30, prior to the Oklahoma Wildcatters homestand, Wildcatter Days, scheduled for July 31-Aug. 2 at the nearby Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. The Wildcatters are one of 10 teams that compete in the groundbreaking PBR Teams league which transforms bull riding from an individual sport into team competition.
Three-time PBR World Champion and legend Silvano Alves in his first year of eligibility will receive the coveted Ring of Honor, regarded as the highest honor for a professional bull rider following their retirement from competition. The Ring of Honor is presented to individuals who have made a significant and lasting contribution to the sport of bull riding, based on the core beliefs of the organization, including authenticity, toughness, respect, teamwork, and professionalism.
