How to watch National Finals Rodeo 2024 in the US

As you'd probably expect given the importance of the National Finals Rodeo 2024, The Cowboy Channel is the place to go to watch all the action unfold.

You can catch The Cowboy Channel on numerous cable packages, but there are also plenty of options to stream your content as it's also carried by several OTT services. First up, it's available on DirecTV's admittedly pricey Ultimate and Premier packages, costing $115/month and $160/month respectively.

If you're on the lookout for something a bit more affordable, 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 begin with — they cost from $40/month, with your first month half price — and then Heartland Extra costs only $6/month extra.

Another option to ensure you don't miss a second is to tune in via RFD-TV Now, which costs $89.99 a year, or Cowboy Channel Plus, which comes in at $119.99 per year.

Not in the US at the moment? Don't forget you can still catch your regular streaming services while traveling abroad via a streaming VPN such as NordVPN — meaning you can access a National Finals Rodeo 2024 live stream from anywhere in the world.
