The Professional Fighters League (PFL) mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion has extended its broadcast rights tie-up in Germany and surrounding markets with global subscription streaming heavyweight DAZN.

Through a multi-year deal renewal unveiled today, DAZN DACH will continue to provide coverage of PFL action - the main series, as well as the PFL Africa and PFL MENA regional subsidiaries - across Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, and Liechtenstein.

The first tie-up between PFL and DAZN in Germany got underway with the 2023 season.

This extension officially began in time for the April 11 PFL Chicago event in the US.

Earlier this month, the PFL announced a new deal with pay-TV operator Sky New Zealand (NZ) for the 2026 season, which will see Sky NZ air all 16 PFL Global events in 2026.

These deals are the latest in a slate of broadcast partnerships struck by PFL this year as it looks to boost its global visibility, having most recently renewed its tie-up in Japan with the U-Next streaming service to air all PFL programming.

From a German point of view, only one PFL event has taken place in that market - PFL Europe 2, in mid-2023. However, others have been held in Spain, France, Belgium, and the UK, as the league has attempted to branch out from the US in the last 18 months or so.

DAZN's sports rights slate in Germany is anchored by top-tier soccer - it covers the Bundesliga domestically, as well as UEFA Champions League action, and other significant European leagues.

The broadcaster also covers the PFL in France, meanwhile.
