The next chapter in the 2021 PFL season kicks off in August with playoff action.
After the conclusion of its regular season events in June, the promotion took a brief hiatus to allow the athletes on the roster to recover and focus on the next step, which centers around securing a place in the championship round for an opportunity at $1 million.
The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., will play host to the playoff round, with events set for Aug. 13, Aug. 19 and Aug. 27 that air on ESPN or ESPN2 as well as stream on ESPN+.
“No sports league can match the thrilling action Professional Fighters League will deliver this August as the final four fighters for each weight division will compete for a spot in the $1 million world championship bout,” said PFL CEO Peter Murray in a press release. “The only playoff format in the sport gives every fighter a chance. The more than 550 million MMA fans around the world are going to witness unmatched intensity during every fight in the PFL SmartCage.”
