Professional Fighters League announced more details on its new tournaments after walking away from its traditional playoffs format.
PFL revealed on Wednesday that it will hold eight tournaments in 2025, airing live on ESPN and ESPN+ in the United States, confirming the $500,000 pay for each winner. In total, the promotion said it will distribute more than $20 million dollars to the fighters.
PFL will have tournaments at heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, welterweight, lightweight, featherweight and bantamweight. On top of that, it will include women’s flyweight division.
The tournaments will begin in April, with four events taking place that month — April 3, 11, 18 and a date yet to be determined. The winners advance to three-round semifinal matches on June 12, 20 and 27.
Unlike previous years, when PFL held a single event to crown all season champions, three cards are expected for August to hold tournament winners in five-round bouts, on Aug. 1, 15 and 21.

“The PFL World Tournament is continued innovation by PFL, and we are thrilled to present to global MMA fans an even more exciting product,” PFL CEO Peter Murray stated in a release. “One shot, single elimination, nothing more exciting in all of sports.”
