For months, fighters from the Professional Fighters League participated in a grueling schedule to determine who will advance to the playoffs. With the regular season over, the next step to determine who will win $1 million begins. 

The PFL playoffs are officially underway. Featherweights and light heavyweights will kick things off on August 4 from inside the Boeing Center at Tech Port in Texas. All fight cards will air on ESPN+ in the U.S. and DAZN in the U.K. 

PFL veterans like Bubba Jenkins, Chris Wade, Larissa Pacheco, and Sadibou Sy return to regain championships or finally reach the top of the mountain. Meanwhile, newcomers to the playoffs include Shane Burgos, Amber Leibrock, and Josh Silveira.

Who will impress and move on to the PFL Finals with gold and a hefty paycheck on the line?
