The National Finals Steer Roping belongs on a different calendar from the December Las Vegas NFR. For 2026, Kansas Star lists its finals on November 13 and 14 in Mulvane, Kansas. Use that event and venue when planning tickets or travel; the Thomas & Mack Center schedule does not apply.

The confirmed 2026 planning facts
The Kansas Star Arena page lists the National Final Steer Roping for November 13–14, 2026. The venue is in Mulvane, Kansas. Its official entertainment listing is the starting point for current event details and the ticket link.
The venue’s Ticketmaster calendar currently lists 7 p.m. for both evenings. Reconfirm the time on the exact ticket and venue notice before traveling: third-party listings can show conflicting times, and a ticketing listing is more useful when it matches the specific date you are attending.
Keep the event’s full name in your notes. A search for “NFR tickets” can produce Las Vegas performances and a range of unrelated results. Select the Kansas venue and November date before comparing offers.
How it differs from the Las Vegas finals
The 2026 PRCA rulebook provides for National Finals Steer Roping to take place separately and identifies qualification through the official steer roping standings. This is its own event, not an extra Las Vegas go-round. Steer roping and steer wrestling are also different disciplines.
The distinction affects every practical decision: travel destination, ticket seller, dates, venue rules and viewing arrangements. A Las Vegas NFR ticket is not admission to Kansas Star. A schedule listing a December performance in Nevada does not establish a Kansas start time.
For the Las Vegas competition instead, use our December NFR schedule and seven-event viewing guide. This page stays focused on the separate steer roping finals requested by readers.
Tickets, venue entry and a sensible travel plan
Follow the venue’s own event link for tickets. Check the performance date, seating description, full price and delivery instructions. The arena’s official information describes its bag and prohibited-item policies; read those for this venue rather than importing the Las Vegas bag rules.
If attending both evenings, confirm what each purchase includes. A ticket for Friday should not be assumed to cover Saturday. Save the order confirmation, check the event time again before departure and identify the pickup or parking arrangement from current venue information.
When booking accommodation, compare the complete journey rather than simply choosing a property with “Wichita” in the name. Check its location relative to the Mulvane venue and allow time for arrival and screening. Ask the venue directly about any accessible seating or route requirements before purchasing.
Following the competition and checking results
Use PRCA’s official coverage for the event’s current reporting, standings and published results. As of November 4, the November 13–14 competition has not taken place. Historical finals results are not the 2026 outcome.
This guide does not list an unverified 2026 live-stream entitlement or promise that a Las Vegas subscription covers the Kansas event. Check the official event announcement and broadcaster’s exact listing before paying for a viewing plan.
Record the year and event name when saving a result. Steer roping round placings should not be mixed into our Las Vegas results hub. For background on earnings terminology, the NFR payout guide explains round and aggregate awards, but its Las Vegas dollar amounts are not the Kansas payout schedule.
