Professional Fighters League
As mentioned earlier, A unique aspect of PFL is that it is the first and only MMA league with a season format. Fighters from around the world compete in a regular season, and then four competitors in each division (Featherweight, Heavyweight 265, Light Heavyweight 205, Lightweight 155, Welterweight 170, and Women’s Lightweight 155) who earn the most points in the regular season advance to the win-or-go-home playoffs. After that is the PFL World Championship, where each winner goes home with a prize of one million dollars and a championship belt.
The next PFL events will take place at Overtime Elite Arena at Atlantic Station on June 17, June 24 and July 1 live on ESPN networks and streaming platforms worldwide, with partners including Channel 4, DirecTV, RMC Sport, Eurosport, Sky Sports, and more.
