The Professional fighter competition have announced their first four stops of 2026, with two international shows and two US dates from February to April.
PFL officials announced the news in a press release on Tuesday.
While no exact dates have been provided, there is a general time frame, with two cities getting their first PFL events next year.
The events will fall as follows:
PFL: Road to Dubai: February, UAE
PFL Madrid: March, Spain
PFL Pittsburgh: March, USA
PFL Chicago: April, USA
Neither Madrid, Spain nor Pittsburgh, PA have hosted Professional Fighters League events before. Note that the league beats the UFC against Spain, despite the fact that two-division champion (and current UFC Lightweight Champion) Ilia Topuria resides there.
No fights have been announced for any of the four venues announced on Tuesday, although match-ups for February’s Road to Dubai card are expected to be made public soon.
The PFL visited Chicago earlier this year for a World Tournament semifinal, which also featured a showcase bout between former Bellator champions Sergio Pettis and Raufeon Stots. Dubai, meanwhile, saw two visits in 2025, highlighted by a lightweight title fight featuring Usman Nurmagomedov and Paul Hughes. After a controversial win in their first fight, Nurmagomedov, a former Bellator champion, won the rematch last month.
