The UFC dominates US MMA viewing but it is not the only promotion with US distribution. PFL holds an ESPN broadcast deal, ONE Championship streams on Prime Video, Bellator has been absorbed into PFL but its catalogue remains, and several regional and international promotions stream through UFC Fight Pass and standalone services.
The six active MMA promotions with US distribution
Professional Fighters League (PFL). PFL’s regular season runs on ESPN+ and selected ESPN linear windows. The 2025 season uses a Smart Cage scoring system and a season-tournament structure. PFL acquired Bellator MMA in late 2023 and continues to operate select Bellator-branded events through the merged calendar.
ONE Championship. ONE streams live in the US on Amazon Prime Video, included with a standard Prime membership at $14.99 per month. The ONE schedule runs primarily from Thailand and Singapore, with US prime-time slots typically Saturday morning Eastern (Saturday evening local time).
Bellator MMA (legacy). The Bellator catalogue is owned by PFL after the 2023 acquisition. New Bellator-branded events appear within the PFL calendar on ESPN+. The pre-2024 Bellator library has been migrated to UFC Fight Pass for the back catalogue.
Cage Warriors (UK). The leading European regional MMA promotion streams live in the US through UFC Fight Pass at $9.99 per month. Cage Warriors is a major feeder for the UFC, and the promotion shares fighters with the UFC’s prospect pipeline.
LFA (Legacy Fighting Alliance). The largest US regional promotion. Streams live on UFC Fight Pass. LFA produces around 25 events per year from US venues.
KSW (Poland) and Brave CF (Bahrain). Both stream live on UFC Fight Pass for the US market. KSW is the largest European MMA promotion by attendance.

What changed with the PFL–Bellator merger
PFL completed its acquisition of Bellator in November 2023. The combined operation now controls two of the four largest MMA promotions in the world by event count. Going forward, PFL events run under the PFL banner on ESPN+. Bellator events as a separate brand have largely been retired, with the strongest Bellator fighters absorbed into the PFL season tournament.
The pre-2024 Bellator catalogue (roughly 350 events) is accessible through UFC Fight Pass as a back-library asset.
ONE Championship US prime-time
ONE’s Asian schedule produces live cards in the US prime-time window every two to three weeks. The headline events stream on Prime Video as part of the standard membership, with no PPV add-on. ONE’s heavy investment in striking-discipline content (Muay Thai, kickboxing) means the Prime Video schedule mixes MMA cards with adjacent combat-sports cards under the ONE brand.
Regional and feeder-show MMA
Beyond the major promotions, US Fight Pass carries the live feeds for Cage Warriors, LFA, KSW Poland, Brave CF and several smaller circuits. These are the feeder leagues where most UFC signings come from before debuting on the ESPN+ Contender Series.
