The 2026 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo lineup is officially here, and it delivers one of the most diverse and star-driven runs in RodeoHouston history. Announced on January 8, 2026, the 2026 Houston Rodeo will take over NRG Stadium from March 2 through March 22, blending country, pop, Latin, rock, Christian, and crossover sounds into three weeks of nonstop entertainment.
This year’s lineup balances global superstars with Texas favorites and rising names, while continuing the Rodeo’s tradition of specialty celebration days. From Black Heritage Day to Go Tejano Day and the RodeoHouston Finals, the 2026 schedule offers something for every Houston fan.

Why the 2026 Houston Rodeo Lineup Stands Out
The 2026 Houston Rodeo balances tradition with mainstream appeal. Country remains front and center with Tim McGraw, Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson, Parker McCollum, and Chris Stapleton, while crossover nights from Lizzo, Kelly Clarkson, J Balvin, and Creed broaden the audience and reflect Houston’s diverse music culture.
Specialty days like Black Heritage Day, Go Tejano Day, and First Responders Day continue to be major draws, pairing meaningful community celebrations with top-tier live performances. The event closes in true Texas fashion with Cody Johnson’s concert-only finale, backed by Jon Pardi and Randy Houser.
From March 2 through March 22, NRG Stadium becomes the center of live entertainment in Texas, making the 2026 Houston Rodeo lineup one of the most searched and talked-about event schedules of the year.
