VICE TV Lands PFL Broadcasting Rights in the U.S.

VICE TV has partnered with the Professional Fighters League (PFL) to serve as the exclusive linear U.S. telecast home for ten international MMA events, beginning with two in December.

The deal brings PFL’s international MMA fights to U.S. audiences through VICE TV’s more than 40 million cable and satellite homes. In 2025, the PFL MENA Championships will air on December 5, and the PFL Africa Championships will broadcast on December 20. Eight additional events from MENA and Africa will air in 2026.

In addition to the live broadcasts, VICE’s cable, satellite and telco 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 Fighters League to our lineup and give our viewers and PFL fans across the U.S. access to these international fights for the first time on television,” said Peter Gaffney, president of VICE TV.

John Martin, CEO of the PFL, commented, “Partnering with VICE TV represents an exciting new chapter for the Professional Fighters League. 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 U.S. while continuing to build the sport’s worldwide momentum through live events and exclusive programming.”
