PFL 2025: Schedule, brackets, watch the fights on ESPN

For 2025, the PFL has eight-fighter brackets in eight weight divisions. Amy Kaplan/Icon Sportswire

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 a fighter compiles points to earn a spot in the playoffs, this year there is a tournament featuring eight weight classes.

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. There are eight fighters in each weight class bracket.

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