2026 Wrangler BFI | The Feist – Short Go Round
It all came down to one steer.
After surviving six grueling rounds against the toughest competition in team roping, the final 15 teams returned to the Lazy E Arena for the most pressure-packed moment of the week—the Short Go of the 2026 Wrangler BFI.
The atmosphere was electric. Fans packed the stands, knowing that every run could change the course of history. Thousands of dollars, a coveted BFI title, and a place among the sport’s legends were all on the line.
As the remaining contenders backed into the box, there was no room for mistakes. Every nod carried weight. Every swing mattered. The world’s best ropers put their skills, horses, and nerves to the ultimate test under the bright lights of championship Sunday.
When the dust finally settled, Tyler Tryan and Levi Lord stood atop the mountain. After delivering consistent performances throughout the week and handling the pressure when it mattered most, the duo captured the 2026 Wrangler BFI Championship and secured their place in BFI history.
The Short Go showcased everything that makes The Feist the most prestigious open team roping in the world—elite competition, unforgettable moments, and champions rising to the occasion when the stakes are highest.
For one final steer, fifteen teams had a chance at greatness. Only one left with the buckle. Only one became the 2026 Wrangler BFI Champions.
The Feist delivered once again.
