Vice TV has announced a partnership with Professional Fighters League (PFL), the global MMA league, to serve as the exclusive linear US telecast home for ten international events, beginning with two before the end of 2025 and continuing with eight more throughout 2026.
The deal brings PFL’s international fights to US audiences for the first time through Vice TV’s more than 40 million cable and satellite homes. In 2025, two live events, the PFL MENA Championships on December 5th from Saudi Arabia and the PFL Africa Championships on December 20th from Benin, West Africa, will air on the network, expanding to eight additional events from MENA and Africa in 2026. In addition to the live broadcasts, Vice’s cable, satellite and teleco distributors will be able to offer their subscribers free on-demand access to 50 hours of PFL library fights.
“Vice TV audiences come to us for the high-octane, provocative and compelling content they can’t find anywhere else, and as we continue enhance our live sports slate, we’re proud to welcome Professional Fighter’s League to our line-up and give our viewers and PFL fans across the US access to these international fights for the first time on television,” commented Vice TV President Peter Gaffney.
“Partnering with Vice TV represents an exciting new chapter for the Professional Fighters League,” added PFL CEO John Martin. “Vice’s unique storytelling voice, passionate sports audience, and broad linear reach make them the ideal partner to showcase the next generation of global MMA. Together, we’re bringing the action, culture, and energy of PFL MENA and PFL Africa to millions of fans across the US, while continuing to build the sport’s worldwide momentum through live events and exclusive programming.”
