Professional Fighters League: News and how to get tickets for UK events
The Professional Fighters League is coming to London and Cardiff. Here's how to get your tickets.
The Professional Fighters League is headed to the UK, with two huge fight nights set to take place. MMA fans have lots to look forward to, as the dramatic conclusion of the current PFL season is set to take place on British shores. Here's our guide to the PFL and how to get tickets.
One of the most innovative and fast-growing combat sports organisations out there, the PFL pits elite MMA fighters against each other in a league format. There's three points for a win, one for a draw and none for a loss. There are also bonus points for finishing a fight inside the distance.

Each weight class 'league' has ten fighters who fight twice in the 'regular season'. Then the season concludes with the top four fighters in each division facing off in two 'playoffs', with the overall winner of those playoffs bagging themselves $1m. It's a simple and appealing structure that manages to cut out any 'will they, won't they' business negotiations around big fights. Competitors fight for their place in the league and — in each season — an overall champ is crowned.
This season, the first playoff is set to take place at Madison Square Garden's Hulu Theatre in New York on 5th August. Then the PFL is headed to the UK for the remaining playoffs.
