New Format, New Rules

The Professional Fighters League has undergone a major revamp, with a new winner-take-all tournament format. In the past, fighters would compete in regular season bouts to earn points for a spot in the playoffs. However, this year, it's all about win-or-go-home from the start.

What to Expect

The tournament now consists of three stages - quarters, semis, and finals - over five months. The ultimate prize? A $500,000 bonus for the tournament winner, with a total of $20 million up for grabs in prize money.

Mark Your Calendar

The action kicks off on Thursday, April 3, in Orlando, Florida, with the men's welterweight and featherweights taking the stage. The following weeks will see different weight classes competing, leading up to the finals in August.

Where to Watch

In the US, catch the PFL events live on ESPN+ and ESPN. For UK fans, the American MMA league is available exclusively on the sports streaming service DAZN. Don't miss out on the hard-hitting action!
