The PFL has a different look in 2025 than in any of the fight promotion’s previous six years. Rather than a season format in which fighters compile points to earn a spot in the playoffs, this year there is a tournament format featuring eight weight classes with eight fighters in each bracket.

All of the fight cards are on ESPN/ESPN2 along with ESPN+.

In addition to the six divisions from last year — heavyweight, light heavyweight, welterweight, lightweight, featherweight and women’s flyweight — the PFL has added middleweight and bantamweight.

The tournament kicks off with four cards of first-round bouts starting April 3, and it concludes with three cards of finals, the last of them on Aug. 21.
