Professional Fighters League (PFL) is back in a big way.
PFL CEO John Martin today announced 24 total events for its 2026 fight campaign, which includes 16 global cards on ESPN in the United States as well
as another eight regional events split evenly across Middle East and Africa.
Kicking things off will be PFL Road to Dubai in February followed by PFL Madrid and PFL Pittsburgh in March with PFL Chicago coming in April. No bouts have been revealed for any of the aforementioned fight cards; however, news on that front is expected in the coming weeks, if not days.
“We’re continuing to make big changes to PFL,” Martin said. “Many of you probably remember that we’re stepping away from the tournament format. So what does that mean? That means every card is gonna be built around the best fights possible. The biggest fights, every card. The fights, the fans are asking for, and the fights that the fighters met. Our regional leagues, and MENA, and Africa, are gonna continue to maintain tournament formats, building the next wave of stars who will move up to the global stage.”
“This is a new era at the PFL, the best, fighting the best every time.
PFL will close out 2025 with PFL Lyon on Dec. 13 in France.
