The PFL Playoffs have officially begun, with PFL 7 airing on August 4 at the Boeing Center at Tech Port in Texas. The featherweight and light heavyweights bouts will air on ESPN+ in the U.S. and DAZN in the U.K.
“We are excited to kick off the 2023 PFL Playoffs in San Antonio at the Boeing Center at Tech Port,” said PFL President of Fighter Operations Ray Sefo. “This is what the PFL athletes have worked for all season, a Playoff opportunity and the chance to advance to the PFL World Championship.”
