All 10 teams will compete in the league's five-on-five format, with five riders per team facing off in head-to-head matchups. The team with the highest combined score from qualified rides wins each matchup. Competition at T-Mobile Arena begins Friday at 7:45 p.m., continues Saturday at 4:45 p.m., and concludes with Sunday's final at 2:30 p.m., when the league's fifth champion will be crowned.
The Missouri Thunder, coached by Ross Coleman, clinched the regular-season title on Oct. 17 with a 24-11 record and 7,389.10 points, becoming the first team to secure a top-three seed and a first-round bye. The Austin Gamblers finished second at 22-13, followed by the Nashville Stampede at 19-16, with the Carolina Cowboys (19-16) and Texas Rattlers (17-18) rounding out the top five.
