VICE TV to Bring International PFL Events to U.S. Audiences Via Landmark Partnership

VICE TV on Tuesday announced a new partnership with the Professional Fighters League to serve as the organization’s exclusive linear United States telecast home for 10 international events, starting with two in December and eight more in 2026. The deal brings the PFL’s international bouts to domestic audiences for the first time through VICE TV’s more than 40 million cable and satellite subscribers.

The partnership begins with a pair of forthcoming events: the PFL MENA 2025 Finals on Dec. 5 in Khobar, Saudi Arabia, and the PFL Africa 2025 Finals on Dec. 20 in Benin, a French-speaking nation in West Africa. In addition to the live broadcasts, VICE TV’s cable, satellite and teleco distributors will be able to offer their subscribers free on-demand access to 50 hours of fights from the PFL library.

“VICE TV audiences come to us for the high-octane, provocative and compelling content they can’t find anywhere else,” VICE TV President Peter Gaffney said in a release, “and as we continue enhance our live sports slate, we’re proud to welcome [the] Professional Fighter’s 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.”

PFL CEO John Martin sees the alliance as a bold next step in his company’s history.

“Partnering with VICE TV represents an exciting new chapter for the Professional Fighters League,” Martin said. “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.”
