How to Watch Boxing Legally in the USA — Broadcasters & PPV

Four active US boxing carriers cover the calendar between them. Here is which promoter lives where.

The US boxing calendar is split across four active carriers in the 2025-26 season. Each one anchors a specific promoter. If you can name the promoter on a card, you can name the broadcaster.

The 2025-26 US boxing map

ESPN and ESPN+ carry Top Rank Boxing. The headline cards run on ESPN linear, prelims and undercards on ESPN+. The Top Rank–ESPN relationship has been in place since 2017 and is the longest-running of the current US boxing deals. Read the full breakdown in our ESPN+ boxing guide.

DAZN US at $24.99 per month or $224.99 per year carries Matchroom Boxing and Queensberry Promotions. Matchroom moved to DAZN in 2018, and the platform has built its US sports identity around boxing. Most Matchroom cards are included with the DAZN subscription; the largest annual PPVs require an add-on purchase. See our DAZN boxing guide.

Amazon Prime Video holds Premier Boxing Champions exclusively from 2024 onwards. PBC cards previously split across Showtime and FOX now stream on Prime as part of the standard membership, with the biggest two or three cards a year going up as PPV add-ons.

Paramount+ with Showtime carries the Showtime back catalogue. Showtime stopped commissioning new boxing cards in December 2023 when ViacomCBS folded the linear sports programming, but the library of legacy fights remains accessible through the Paramount+ Showtime tier.

How US boxing PPV works in 2025-26

There are three active US boxing PPV vendors. Each one prices its headline cards on top of the underlying subscription:

VendorPromoterPPV price range
ESPN+ PPVTop Rank$79.99 per card
DAZN PPVMatchroom, Queensberry$59.99 to $79.99 per card
Amazon PBC PPVPremier Boxing Champions$79.99 per card

Every PPV purchase still requires the underlying subscription. A DAZN PPV is on top of the $24.99 monthly DAZN US fee. An ESPN+ PPV is on top of the $11.99 monthly ESPN+ fee. An Amazon PBC PPV is on top of the $14.99 monthly Prime membership.

For a deeper breakdown including upcoming PPV dates, see our boxing PPV schedule guide.

The minimum viewing setup

A fan tracking every active US boxing promoter needs three subscriptions: ESPN+ ($11.99/mo), DAZN ($24.99/mo), and Amazon Prime ($14.99/mo). That covers regular cards across all four active promoters. PPV cards remain separate purchases on top.

A single-promoter follower can skip the rest. Top Rank only? ESPN+ alone. Matchroom only? DAZN alone. PBC only? Prime alone.

What is no longer on the US calendar

Boxing in the US no longer has a regular free-to-air home in 2025-26. NBC’s last boxing window closed in 2018. The FOX-PBC partnership ended in 2024 when PBC moved fully to Amazon. The only zero-cost route to a card these days is the prelim slate that each promoter publishes on their primary streaming home, often visible to non-subscribers as a trial or sample window.

What does VIPBox refer to in your editorial framing?
In our editorial context, VIPBox refers to the premium ringside seating section at live fight events — the closest paid seats to the canvas. We use the name as an editorial conceit: this guide is the equivalent of the premium ringside experience for legal at-home viewing, anchoring every event to the rights-holder and subscription needed.
Is VIPBox.video the same as vipbox.tv or vipboxtv.com?
No. VIPBox.video is an independent editorial publication and is not affiliated with vipbox.tv, vipboxtv.com, or any other service using a similar name. We list only licensed broadcasters and we do not link to unauthorised feeds.
