PFL Announces Multi-Year Broadcast Partnership with Fox Sports Mexico

Fight fans South of the Border will now be able to get their Professional Fighters League fix in Spanish.

The PFL on Wednesday announced a multi-year broadcast partnership with Fox Sports Mexico to air all of the organization’s franchises: PFL World Tournament, Champions Series, PFL Europe, PFL MENA, PFL Africa and the PFL fight library. Fox Sports Mexico will also carry PFL programming such as pre- and post-fight shows, press conferences and weigh-ins. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. All content will be broadcast in Spanish.

Fox Sports Mexico airs a variety sporting events including soccer, NFL, MLB, UFC and Formula 1 racing. According to PFL CEO Peter Murray, the agreement could serve as a precursor to the promotion launching a league in Latin America in the near future.

“We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Fox Sports Mexico,” Murray said in a release. “Much like the PFL, Fox Sports Mexico has been a trailblazer in the mixed martial arts space, and together, we are committed to bringing world-class MMA to fans across Mexico and Latin America. With our roster of elite Latin American fighters continuing to grow, this partnership marks just the beginning of our expansion in one of the fastest-growing regions in the sport. As we build toward the future, we are exploring exciting opportunities to further elevate MMA in the region, including the potential launch of a PFL Latin America league as early as next year.”

The deal will begin the start of the PFL World Tournament on April 3. The event takes place at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and features first-round matchups at welterweight and featherweight. The evening’s featured bout is a 170-pound clash between Jason Jackson and Andrey Koreshkov.
