PFL Extends Broadcast Partnership with DAZN in DACH Region The Professional Fighters League (PFL), a leading mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion, has extended its broadcast rights agreement with DAZN, a global subscription streaming platform, to continue providing coverage of its events across the DACH region. The multi-year deal renewal, announced today, ensures that DAZN DACH will broadcast PFL action, including the main series, as well as the PFL Africa and PFL MENA regional subsidiaries, in Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, and Liechtenstein. This partnership marks a significant step in the PFL’s strategy to expand its global reach. The agreement, which began in 2023, was designed to align with the league’s efforts to grow its audience beyond the United States. The renewal ensures continued visibility for PFL events in the DACH region, which includes some of Europe’s most prominent markets. DAZN’s existing sports rights portfolio in Germany, which includes top-tier soccer leagues such as the Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League, provides a strong foundation for the PFL’s integration into the region’s media landscape. The partnership also extends to France, where DAZN has already been broadcasting PFL events. This expansion underscores the PFL’s commitment to diversifying its broadcast footprint and leveraging partnerships with established platforms to maximize its global audience. The deal was structured to coincide with key events, including the April 11 PFL Chicago event in the U.S., ensuring seamless coverage across all regions. In addition to the DAZN renewal, the PFL has been actively pursuing new broadcast partnerships to bolster its international presence. Earlier this month, the league announced a deal with Sky New Zealand (NZ) for the 2026 season, which will see Sky NZ air all 16 PFL Global events in 2026.#dazn #pfl #pfl_mena #pfl_africa #dach_region
