The PFL Challenger Series will debut live on Friday 18 February 2022, and from then on be streamed by FuboTV and its Fubo Sports Network every Friday through February, March and April.
Billed as a “must-watch event”, each week will see a new face join the judging panel, including various combat sports champions, as well as celebrities from music and entertainment.
So far, Mike Tyson, Ray Lewis and Todd Gurley are all set to appear on the upcoming season of the PFL Challenger Series.
In addition, Fubo Sportsbook, which launched in November, will serve as the exclusive gambling sponsor of the Series.
“PFL Challenger Series is not your father’s contender series,” remarked PFL Founder and Chairman Donn Davis.
“The winner of the PFL Challenger Series can become a real-world Rocky story, going from an unknown pro to world champion holding a $1m cheque in the same year.”
Moreover, MMA fans will get a chance to vote each week, and can also attempt to guess the result via FuboTV’s free-to-play predictive games.
FuboTV’s Co-founder and CEO David Gandler commented: “Our partnership with the PFL and its new PFL Challenger Series allows FuboTV to further differentiate our sports-first programming with exclusive MMA content, which we know is one of the hottest live sports for consumers.
“FuboTV believes the future of sports television will be interactive. This partnership will give our audience unprecedented ways to interact and engage with the PFL.
“We are looking forward to bringing an interactive sports and entertainment television experience to consumers next year through this very unique partnership.”
