Rodeo President and CEO Chris Boleman made the announcement of the cancellation Wednesday morning.
The 2021 event had already been moved back from its traditional February/March start, and now will not go on as scheduled this May.
The Junior Livestock and Horse Show competitions will still be held as private events in March, as previously scheduled.
Boleman says organizers are now focused on the 2022 event.
The 2020 Rodeo was shut down abruptly on March 11 when an emergency health declaration went into effect, shutting down the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo along with its entertainment division, RodeoHouston.
