Video: 2025 PFL tournament brackets revealed

For its version of March Madness, the PFL revealed Wednesday the complete brackets for its upcoming single-elimination tournaments beginning in April.

The PFL tournament structure has been adjusted for 2025. Fighters will no longer compete for a $1 million prize in a season format. Instead, $500,000 awaits the winner of their 8-fighter, single-elimination bracket. The fights get underway April 3 on the backlot of Universal Studios Florida in Orlando.

This year’s lineup includes eight divisions: women’s flyweight, bantamweight, featherweight, lightweight, welterweight, middleweight, light heavyweight, and heavyweight. The matchups are determined by seeding, with No. 1 vs. No. 8 and No. 5 vs. No. 4 on the left side of the bracket, while No. 3 vs. No. 6 and No. 7 vs. No. 2 are set to compete on the right side.
