The Professional Fighters League has announced the cities, venues and dates for the inaugural PFL Europe season in 2023, which will air live on DAZN.
“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 PFL CEO Peter Murray.
PFL Europe, the PFL’s first international regional league, will showcase the continent’s best talent throughout 2023, beginning at Vertu Motors Arena in Newcastle, United Kingdom, on March 25. The second event will take place at Verti Music Hall in Berlin, Germany, on July 8, while the third will be at Zenith Paris, France, on September 30. 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland, will host the finale on December 8.
“DAZN’s partnership with the PFL is as exciting as it is innovative,” said Shay Segev, DAZN Group CEO. “It delivers yet more great content on our platform as we continue to develop our reputation as the global home of combat sports and the ultimate destination for sports fans.”
The new concept will feature 32 of Europe’s top ranked fighters competing across four weight classes. After four events, four champions will be crowned, all taking home $100,000 and a chance to earn a spot in PFL $1 million global season.
