The three-day event will run from Thursday, April 15 to Saturday, April 17. The action each night is slated to begin at 7:30pm.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, fan attendance was limited to 1/3 capacity and all spectators will be required to wear a mask at all times. Tickets to the rodeo sold out for all three nights in less than a day.

There will be no tickets available to walk-up or day-of purchase, but the rodeo is offering a live stream for $10.

UT Martin will be competing against East Mississippi Community College, the University of Arkansas-Monticello, Pearl River Community College, University of Kentucky, Missouri Valley College, Mississippi State, Murray State, Northwest Mississippi Community College, Southern Arkansas University, University of Tennessee, University of West Alabama, and Three Rivers College.
