The full PFL Europe schedule has been released, with four dates set to stream live on DAZN later this year.
On Thursday, Professional Fighters League officials announced the PFL Europe schedule via press release. The four dates set to go down include stops in Ireland, France, Germany, and England, and are set to highlight the promotion’s European talent.
The dates/locations expected to make up the 2023 schedule are as follows:
- Saturday, March 25 – Newcastle, UK – Vertu Motors Arena (Regular Season)
- Saturday, July 8 – Berlin, Germany – Verti Music Hall (Regular Season)
- Saturday, September 30 – Paris, France – Zenith Paris La Villette (Playoffs)
- Friday, December 8 – Dublin, Ireland – 3Arena (Final)
In an interesting and lucrative twist on the Professional Fighters League format, the four events will comprise a tournament that will reward each winner $100,000 and potentially a spot in the league’s full regular season the following year. Four weight classes will take part, with a champion crowned in each. 32 fighters will compete.
“PFL Europe’s inaugural season schedule is set, and MMA fans in 2023 will experience Europe’s best MMA fighters competing in the PFL’s true sport format live on DAZN,” said Professional Fighters League CEO Peter Murray in Thursday’s press release. “PFL Europe Regular Season events will be staged in Newcastle, UK in March, and Berlin, Germany in July. Semifinalists will then compete in a single elimination Playoff event in Paris, France, in September with the winners advancing to the PFL Europe Championship in Dublin, Ireland in December.”
