Published on: April 2, 2024
The Professional Fighters League (PFL) is ready to stream for the 2024 season on ESPN+, along with ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes for broader coverage.Â
ESPN+ holds the rights to most PFL fights in 2024, making it the go-to and most affordable choice to watch live MMA fights. Some Main Card fights air on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes first before becoming available as replays on ESPN Plus.
For ESPN+, a monthly subscription is set at $10.99. Alternatively, the Disney bundle provides ESPN+ alongside Disney+ and Hulu, for $14.99 per month.
What is PFL?
The Professional Fighters League (PFL) is a premier American mixed martial arts league that started in 2018, evolving from the World Series of Fighting (WSOF).
It’s distinguished as the first major MMA league to introduce a sports-season structure with a regular season, postseason, and championship. Unlike other MMA competitions that run year-round, PFL organizes its fights within a season-based framework.
Fights in PFL take place in a 10-sided cage, adhering to the unified mixed martial arts rules, where elbow strikes are prohibited. The PFL is unique in its seasonal competition format, setting it apart as the sole MMA league with this setup.
The roster, combined with Bellator, has 30% of fighters ranked in the top 25 of their weight classes globally. PFL bouts are now broadcast on ESPN Networks and ESPN+, providing fans with easy access to live fights.
How to Watch PFL Tonight
For MMA fans, ESPN+ is the central platform for viewing mixed martial arts, including UFC and Top Rank Boxing events. PFL matches, notably, are more budget-friendly as they don’t carry the high costs often associated with PPV events.
A subscription to ESPN+ is priced at $10.99 per month. Beyond MMA and UFC, the service offers daily broadcasts of MLB games, soccer, and LaLiga.
To start watching PFL on any device:
- Sign up for an ESPN+ subscription online.
- Download the ESPN app on your Smart TV, streaming device, or smartphone.
- Open the ESPN app and activate your ESPN+ account by selecting the ESPN+ tab on the main menu.
The ESPN app is compatible with various devices, including Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Chromecast, and Apple TV.
