What is PFL (Professional Fighters League)?

The PFL is an American-based mixed martial arts promotion which has become widely known as the world’s second-largest MMA organisation. It originally started as a league format with a regular season, playoffs and championship rather than year-round events. The PFL also became known for its $1 million prize funds for championship winners. These features helped it stand out from other promotions, such as the UFC, and make an impression on fans.

History of the PFL

The Professional Fighters League was born from the World Series of Fighting (WSOF), which was formed in 2012. This MMA promotion held over 35 events all over the world and featured prominent fighters, including Justin Gaethje, Marlon Moraes and Lance Palmer.

In 2017, the WSOF was purchased by MMAX Investment Partners, a group of venture capitalists who saw the growing potential of MMA as a sport. The group announced that the WSOF would be restructured as the Professional Fighters League, with Donn Davis as the founder of this new fighting organisation.

The PFL became the first MMA organisation to use a league format rather than holding one-off events, and in 2018, the first event took place. Fighters could compete throughout the regular season to earn points for wins and additional points for finishes. At the end of the season, the highest-ranked fighters in each division progressed to the playoffs for a chance to fight for the championship and a $1 million prize.

In 2023, the PFL announced it had purchased competing MMA promotion Bellator. The first PFL vs Bellator event was held in February 2024, with champions from each promotion competing against one another.

Format & Schedule of PFL

The league format was a novel concept in MMA and one that helped the promotion stand out. However, it wasn’t without its issues. In 2025, it was announced that the PFL would transition to a single-elimination tournament format for the best fighters across men’s and women’s weight divisions, known as the PFL World Tournament.

Aside from the World Tournament, the PFL also holds tournaments for specific regions, including PFL Europe and PFL MENA. In addition, there’s the PFL Champions Series and PFL Super Fights, which feature the biggest names in the sport.

PFL & MMA Betting Tips, Predictions & Strategies

  1. Stylistic matchups – In MMA, styles make fights, and while most modern fighters are well-rounded, they still typically excel in certain areas while having weaknesses in others. For example, a grappling expert might struggle with striking exchanges. It’s important to consider these stylistic matchups when making your picks.

  2. Research your bets – There are a lot of detailed statistics and data available online to give you better insights into the fights and the likely outcomes. Pay attention to recent form, overall records and the quality of each fighter’s recent opposition. Consider whether or not the tournament format will likely have an impact on their performance and don’t forget to check out fight videos online.

  3. Live betting – Live betting offers an excellent opportunity to get better odds on your bets. As the fight happens, the odds and lines will move in real time, and if you’re smart, you can take advantage of this. Make sure you tune into the free live stream at the same time, that way you’ll have a better understanding of the fight.
