Video: 2025 PFL Bracket Reveal Show



The art of bracketology is officially coming to the Professional Fighters League this year, and fans will get a peek of the landscape this evening.

The organization, which ran a points-based playoff system for a tournament since its inception as PFL, has changed up how it will operate its eight grand prix divisions. In its stead will be a single-elimination tourney, with the eight classes each sporting eight participants plus a couple alternates for each weight category. The eight division are the following: heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, welterweight, lightweight, featherweight, bantamweight and women’s flyweight—of note, the league is re-adding 185 pounds while bringing the 135-pounders to the table for the first time.

On Thursday, the PFL sent out a press release announcing that it will be airing its bracket reveal show on ESPN+ Tuesday, March 11. On that, the company will unveil the seeding of every competitor in the tournament, showing the path they will have to traverse in order to win it all. Play-by-play caller Sean O'Connell will host and be joined by color commentator Dan Hardy for the duration of the proceedings. Fans outside of the U.S. will be able to catch the programming live and free in the player above.

Other changes have also been enacted to the tournaments going forward, including the very rules of combat. Previous seasons always prohibited elbow strikes, out of the concern of lacerations ejecting fighters out of the tourney. In 2025 and beyond, elbows will be permitted again.
