The authors present recent results on B{sub c}{sup -} meson from the Tevatron. The B{sub c}{sup -} meson has been observed in semileptonic decays, B{sub c}{sup -} {yields} J/{psi}{ell}{sup -} {nu}X, both by CDF and D0 experiments at a significance larger than 5{sigma}. The D0 experiment has used the candidates in B{sub c}{sup -} {yields} J/{psi}{mu}{sup -} {nu}X decay to extract the mass and lifetime of B{sub c}{sup -} meson. The CDF experiment has used both electron and muon channel candidates in B{sub c}{sup -} {yields} J/{psi}{ell}{sup -} {nu}X decays to measure the relative production times branching ratio with respect to B{sup -} {yields} J/{psi}K{sup -} decay and also measured the lifetime of B{sub c}{sup -} meson in electron channel as {tau}(B{sub c}{sup -}) = 0.463{sub -0.055}{sup +0.073} {+-} 0.036 ps. The CDF experiment has also observed B{sub c}{sup -} {yields} J/{psi}{pi}{sup -} decay with a significance exceeding 6.5{sigma} and has measured the mass of B{sub c}{sup -} meson as M(B{sub c}{sup -}) = 6276.5 {+-} 4.0 {+-} 2.7 MeV/c{sup 2}.
