The partnership between Professional Fighters League and ESPN will continue for the foreseeable future.
The promotion announced Tuesday that it has reached a new, multi-year media agreement with ESPN that will see “expanded coverage” on the Worldwide Leader’s family of networks. According to a release, that means that the entirety of the PFL playoffs and the “majority” of regular season events will be televised on ESPN and simulcast on ESPN+, with additional events airing on ESPN2.
The new deal begins with the start of the PFL 2022 season, which is slated for April 20. In addition to live event coverage, ESPN platforms will also provide pre- and post-fight coverage as well as other exclusive PFL content.
