The
Professional Fighters League season will begin in April with
events in three different cities.
The organization announced on Monday that its season format โ which
now will include fighters from Bellator MMA โ will take place on
April 4, April 12 and April 19 in San Antonio, Las Vegas and
Chicago. Fighters in six different weight classes will compete in
the PFL season, with the winners earning a $1 million prize at the
end of the campaign along with their championship status.
โThe toughest test in MMA, the PFL regular season, just got tougher
with the addition of stars from Bellator,โ said PFL CEO Peter
Murray in a release.
โThe PFL is excited to kick off the 2024 regular season in front of
our great fans in San Antonio, Las Vegas and Chicago. This promises
to be the biggest regular season in history, with the PFL heading
to 10 top markets around the country and distribution to 160
countries around the world.โ
While the PFL hasnโt revealed the entire roster for each weight
class in the upcoming season, a few prominent names that will be
competing were announced on Monday.
The regular season will begin on April 4 at the Boeing Center in
San Antonio and features heavyweights and the newly-added womenโs
flyweight division. Confirmed participants include 2023 PFL Europe

The second week will take place at The Theater at Virgin Hotels in
Las Vegas and features the light heavyweight and lightweight
divisions. Confirmed light heavyweight participants include 2023
PFL champion Impa

Finally, the third week of the 2024 PFL season will go down at
