Calgary Stampede 2025: How to Vibe With It Online, Worldwide 🤠🎶

The Deets

Okay, besties, listen up! The Calgary Stampede 2025 is about to pop off from July 4th to July 13th. We're talking rodeo legends, musical icons, and vibes for days. If you can't make it IRL, don't even stress – you can still catch all the action online.

First things first: the rodeo. 210 athletes are gonna be throwing down in seven different disciplines: bareback riding, barrel racing, tie-down roping, saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, bull riding, and breakaway roping. They're all fighting for that $1,000,000 grand prize! Qualifying rounds lead to the finals on July 13th, so mark your calendars.

But wait, there's more! The music lineup is stacked. We're talking Shania Twain, Macklemore, Megan Maroney, Thomas Wesley (aka Diplo), TLC, Lil Jon, Natasha Bedingfield, and even Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine! The stages will be on fire, for real. Various locations across the city will feature music venues, including Scotiabank Saddledome, Coca-Cola Stage, Nashville North, Big Four Roadhouse, The Palace Theatre, King Eddy, Badlands Music Festival, Cowboys Music Festival, Wildhorse Saloon, Roundup MusicFest and Oxford Stomp, and Whiskey Rose.

Now, how to stream this legendary event? In the U.S., The Cowboy Channel is where it's at. You can get it through Sling TV (Orange plan with the Heartland Extra add-on) or Cowboy Channel Plus. In Canada, hit up Sportsnet Plus.

Traveling abroad? Things get a little tricky. The Stampede isn't officially available in the U.K. or Australia yet, which is kinda sus. But don't worry, there's a hack: a VPN (Virtual Private Network). It lets you change your location online, so you can access the U.S. or Canadian streams from anywhere. Just download a VPN app, set your location to the U.S. or Canada, and you're good to go.

Also the parade on July 4 starts at 9 a.m. The parade route is along 9th Avenue, 10th Street S.W., 6th Avenue, and 4th Street S.E, road closures in downtown Calgary on parade day are from 6 a.m. until after 2 p.m, with public parking and CTrain service available. The Elbow River Camp celebrates the cultures of the Kainai, Piikani, Siksika, Tsuut’ina and Stoney Nakoda First Nations of Treaty 7.

So there you have it, fam! All the deets on how to vibe with the Calgary Stampede 2025, no matter where you are. Get ready for some epic rodeo action and unforgettable music moments!
