Professional Fighters League is expanding its broadcast reach.
The promotion announced on Wednesday deals that will allow it to
air in Germany, France and Belgium for the 2021 season. PFL will be
broadcast in Germany on BILD, which is that nation’s largest media
brand and daily newspaper, and via RMC Sport in France and
Belgium.
As part of the agreement, BILD and RMC Sport will be the exclusive
providers of PFL content in Germany and France, respectively.
“Our distribution partnerships with BILD in Germany and RMC in
France represent the growing demand around the world for the PFL’s
2021 season live events and content,” said PFL CEO Peter Murray.
“Come this Friday, April 23, MMA fans in Europe and throughout 160
countries will experience MMA 2.0, as the PFL is the future of the
sport with star athletes, a win and advance season format and our
new SmartCage experience.”
The PFL’s 2021 campaign kicks off Friday with a card headlined by a
lightweight showdown between former UFC champ Anthony
Pettis and Clay
Collard. The card will feature lightweights and featherweights
and begins with prelims on ESPN+ at 5:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. PT
followed by the main card on ESPN2 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT.
