The PFL has a different look in 2025 than in any of the fight promotion's previous six years. Rather than a season format in which fighters compile points to earn a spot in the playoffs, this year there is a tournament format featuring eight weight classes with eight fighters in each bracket.
All of the fight cards are on ESPN/ESPN2 along with ESPN+.
In addition to the six divisions from last year -- heavyweight, light heavyweight, welterweight, lightweight, featherweight and women's flyweight -- the PFL has added middleweight and bantamweight.

The tournament kicked off April 3 with the first of four cards of first-round bouts. After three cards of semifinal fights come three cards of finals, the last of them on Aug. 21.
