The Professional Fighters League will hold its next playoffs in Wales, England and the United States in partnership with Live Nation, a music and entertainment promoter based in Beverly Hills, California, USA. This marks the first time PFL events are held in the United Kingdom.

“We’re thrilled to announce our international partnership with Live Nation as the world’s top music and entertainment promoter makes its move into the world’s fastest growing sport,” PFL chief executive officer Peter Murray said. “MMA fans in the United Kingdom will experience PFL’s star fighters battle it out for a shot at the PFL World Championship and the $6 million dollar prize money.” 

The pathway to the 2022 PFL World Championships and $1 million purse that comes with it will begin with a field of 24 fighters across six divisions. Each of the three 2022 PFL Playoff events will feature the top-four fighters across two weight divisions battling to earn a spot in the final with no other sports league able to match the thrilling action in this win-and-advance, lose-and-go-home format. 

“We’re delighted to partner with the Professional Fighters League to deliver their first U.K. events this Summer,” Live Nation U.K.’s Sport & Family Entertainment vice president Sean Ryman said. “The PFL is a global brand in combat sports with an elite roster of athletes, the U.K. is excited and ready for this and it’s long overdue.”

On August 5, 2022, the 2022 PFL Playoffs will kick off at Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, USA. It will be followed by the next event at Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff, Wales on August 13, 2022 and the final playoff event at Copperbox Arena in London, England on August 20, 2022. 

The second half of the 2022 PFL Regular Season begins on June 17, 2022 from OTE Arena at Atlantic Station in Atlanta, Georgia, USA with additional events on June 24, 2022 and on July 1, 2022.
