The organization sent out a press release on Thursday to announce
the latest in its broadcasting news. One week ago, PFL and Dazn
entered enter a partnership to air PFL events in Europe. Now, PFL
has launched a channel called a “FAST channel,” which is a free,
ad-supported streaming TV platform. PFL will be airing all of its
content on this network constantly, day and night, on a few
services including Xumo, Local Now, Sports.TV and SportsTribal in
Europe. The former two are currently up and running, while the
latter two will be coming out before the final PFL event of 2022 on
Nov. 25.
In addition to the past PFL fights – including the entirety of the
2022 season thus far – PFL will be putting together features for
its current and former competitors, as well as a place to show its
weigh-ins and press conferences. Other content has been announced,
but the specifics are still to be determined. This channel is
similar in nature to the one that exists on UFC Fight Pass, called
Fight Pass 24/7, which runs MMA content from various different
promotions signed to its network. According to the release, Xumo
currently holds over 250 channels showing various types of content,
all of which air free on its ad-supported service. Other combat
sports channels already exist on its lineup, including the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Glory
Kickboxing, Impact Wrestling, Hard Knocks Fighting
Championship, the Fight Network and Boxing TV.
The content on this PFL channel will all lead up to the 2022 PFL
Championships on Nov. 25. Inside of the Hulu Theater in Madison
Square Garden in New York City, six titles and six accompanying
million-dollar checks will be on the line for the finalists in its
divisions. The event will conclude with a women’s lightweight
trilogy match between Kayla
Harrison and Larissa
Pacheco, with featherweight gold up for grabs in the
co-headliner between Brendan
Loughnane and Bubba
Jenkins.
