Overview

  • Vice TV will be the exclusive U.S. linear broadcaster for 10 PFL international events from the MENA and Africa franchises.
  • The slate opens with the PFL MENA Championships on December 5 in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia, and the PFL Africa Championships on December 20 in Benin.
  • Eight additional international events are scheduled to air on Vice TV in 2026, extending the partnership into next year.
