Two weeks removed from their acquisition of Bellator MMA, Professional Fighters League has signed a new multi-year United States media rights deal with broadcast partner ESPN.
As per the agreement, the PFL regular season, playoffs and championships will be available on ESPN+ and ESPN linear networks. The deal also entails pre- and post-fight coverage of events, as well as shoulder programming.
Additionally, ESPN will also serve as a pay-per-view distributor for the PFL's Super Fight division, which is expected to launch in 2024.
“We’ve had five successful seasons on ESPN and we’re excited for the next phase of growth for MMA and the Professional Fighters League with this agreement,” said PFL CEO Peter Murray.
