A number of PFL international events are headed to Vice TV in the U.S.
In a deal announced Wednesday, league officials revealed that Vice will air a total of ten Professional Fighters League events, starting with two this December plus another eight in 2026.
In addition, 50 hours worth of fights from the PFL’s fight library will be made available to Vice TV subscribers via On Demand.
December’s Vice TV cards will be comprised of the PFL MENA Championships on December 5 from Saudi Arabia and the PFL Africa Championships on December 20 from Benin, West Africa. Those regional events were previously free for fight fans stateside using the PFL App.
“VICE TV audiences come to us for the high-octane, provocative and compelling content they can’t find anywhere else, and as we continue enhance our live sports slate, we’re proud to welcome Professional Fighter’s League to our line-up and give our viewers and PFL fans across the US access to these international fights for the first time on television,” VICE TV President Peter Gaffney was quoted as saying in Wednesday’s press release.
“Partnering with VICE TV represents an exciting new chapter for the Professional Fighters League,” stated Professional Fighters League CEO John Martin in that same release. “VICE’s unique storytelling voice, passionate sports audience, and broad linear reach make them the ideal partner to showcase the next generation of global MMA. Together, we’re bringing the action, culture, and energy of PFL MENA and PFL Africa to millions of fans across the U.S., while continuing to build the sport’s worldwide momentum through live events and exclusive programming.”
The Professional Fighters League currently airs its tournament events on ESPN/ESPN+, while Champions Series cards have historically been hosted on HBO MAX.
