The Professional Fighters League have announced their first four stops of 2026, with two international shows and two U.S. dates lined up from February to April.
PFL officials revealed the news in a press release issued on Tuesday.
While exact dates were not provided, a general timeframe has been, with two cities getting their first PFL events next year.
The events are slated to fall as follows:
PFL: Road to Dubai: February, UAE
PFL Madrid: March, Spain
PFL Pittsburgh: March, U.S.
PFL Chicago: April, U.S.
Neither Madrid, Spain nor Pittsburgh, PA have previously hosted Professional Fighters League events. Of note, the league is beating the UFC to Spain, despite two-division champ (and current UFC lightweight champion) Ilia Topuria residing there.
No fights have been announced for any of the four locations announced on Tuesday, though match-ups for February’s Road to Dubai card are expected to be made public soon.
The PFL visited Chicago earlier this year, for a semifinal in its World Tournament which also featured a showcase bout between former Bellator champs Sergio Pettis and Raufeon Stots. Dubai, meanwhile, saw two visits in 2025, with both headlined by a lightweight title fight featuring Usman Nurmagomedov and Paul Hughes. After a controversial decision win in their first fight, Nurmagomedov, a former Bellator champ, won the rematch last month.
