Boxing in 2026 is fully a streaming sport. For the first time in decades, there is no regular boxing on traditional linear television — the ESPN/Top Rank deal that kept the sport on cable ended in July 2025, and no network has replaced it. Every major fight now lives on a streaming platform or behind a PPV paywall. Here’s a complete breakdown of every platform carrying boxing, what they cost, and what’s coming up.
Major Platforms
Paramount+ / Zuffa Boxing
What it carries: Paramount+ is the exclusive U.S. home of Zuffa Boxing, the new promotion launched by Dana White and TKO Group Holdings in partnership with Turki Al-Sheikh’s General Entertainment Authority (Saudi Arabia) and Sela. Zuffa debuted in January 2026 with numbered events at the Meta Apex in Las Vegas. Select events may simulcast on CBS — the most-watched broadcast network in the U.S. — which would be the only current path for boxing to return to free, over-the-air television.
Pricing: Plans start at $8.99/month. All Zuffa Boxing events included — no additional PPV charge.
Upcoming 2026 fights: Zuffa Boxing 04: Jai Opetaia vs. Brandon Glanton for IBF/Ring cruiserweight title (Mar. 8). White has indicated more than 13 events planned for 2026.
Worth noting: Still a brand-new promotion. First three events featured prospects and mid-level fighters — competitive matchups but not yet consistently at world-title level. Opetaia is their first champion signing. The UFC-style model (numbered cards, performance bonuses, centralized matchmaking) is a different approach. Paramount’s return to boxing is notable — their subsidiary Showtime exited the sport at the end of 2023 after 37 years.
DAZN
What it carries: Cards from Matchroom Boxing (five-year extension signed through 2031), Golden Boy Promotions, Queensberry Promotions, and Riyadh Season events. Over 50 live fight cards annually. Roster includes Canelo Álvarez, Claressa Shields, Callum Smith, Daniel Dubois, Fabio Wardley, Deontay Wilder, and a deep UK-based roster. Also carries international cards, archives, and documentaries.
Pricing: Around $19.99/month subscription. Major events are PPV on top of that, typically $49.99–$79.99 per event.
Upcoming 2026 fights: Barrios vs. Garcia (Feb. 21), Shields vs. Crews-Dezurn (Feb. 22), Navarrete vs. Nunez (Feb. 28), Wilder vs. Chisora (Apr. 4), Smith vs. Morrell (Apr. 18), Wardley vs. Dubois (May 9).
Worth noting: Carries the highest volume of boxing events of any platform. The double-pay structure — subscription plus PPV for the biggest fights — means costs stack up fast if you’re watching every major card. Smaller cards included in the base subscription vary in quality.
Netflix
What it carries: Select mega-events — big names, global audiences, crossover matchmaking. Co-promoted with Most Valuable Promotions, Riyadh Season, and Queensberry Promotions. Past events include Paul-Tyson (60M+ viewers), Crawford-Canelo (41M+ viewers), Paul-Joshua (33M+ viewers).
Pricing: Standard subscription around $15.49/month. Fights included — no additional PPV charge.
Upcoming 2026 fights: Tyson Fury vs. Arslanbek Makhmudov (Apr. 11, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium). Rumored Mayweather vs. Pacquiao 2 also reportedly in negotiation.
Worth noting: No-PPV model makes events accessible for casual audiences. Very few boxing events per year compared to dedicated platforms. Matchmaking prioritizes name recognition and spectacle over competitive rankings.
Amazon Prime Video
What it carries: Premier Boxing Champions (PBC) events — the roster that previously aired on Showtime and Fox. Includes Sebastian Fundora, Jermell Charlo, Gervonta Davis, Keith Thurman. Non-PPV cards free with Prime membership; major events are PPV.
Pricing: Prime membership around $14.99/month. PPV events roughly $59.99–$79.99.
Upcoming 2026 fights: Fundora vs. Thurman (Mar. 28, PPV). Additional PBC cards expected through spring and summer.
Worth noting: Fight frequency has been inconsistent since picking up PBC — lower output than what Showtime delivered when it had the roster. When they do put on events, the fighters are strong, but gaps between cards can be long.
Standalone PPV and Mid-Level Platforms
PPV.com
What it carries: Standalone pay-per-view platform owned by Fandango. Carries boxing, wrestling, concerts, and other live events from various promoters on a fight-by-fight basis.
Pricing: No subscription required. Free account, purchase events individually. Prices vary by event.
Worth noting: Useful if you only want to buy one specific fight without committing to a monthly platform. Won’t carry DAZN, Netflix, or Paramount+ exclusives, but picks up select events from independent promoters.
TrillerTV (formerly FITE)
What it carries: Independent and regional fights, international bouts, and over 1,000 combat sports events yearly. Mix of boxing, MMA, and other combat sports.
Pricing: $9.99/month subscription or individual PPVs ($19.99–$39.99). Some cards are free.
ProBox TV
What it carries: Free service with weekly live cards, daily talk shows, news coverage, and competitive mid-level matchups that the bigger platforms pass on.
Pricing: Free.
BXNG TV
What it carries: Grassroots professional boxing with over 30 events per year. Streams via the Vyre Network app on various devices.
Pricing: Varies by event.
UFC Fight Pass
What it carries: Primarily MMA, but includes some boxing — historical cards, live events from smaller promotions, and combat sports crossover content.
Pricing: $10.99/month.
Swerve TV
What it carries: Free ad-supported streaming platform for Golden Boy Promotions’ fight library and select live prelims. Available on Roku, Fubo, and other devices.
Pricing: Free.

What it carries: Smaller promotions and regional cards, both live and on-demand.
Pricing: Varies.
Millions.co
What it carries: Athlete-driven platform for regional boxing and USA Boxing Metro events with live streams and watch parties.

Free and Supplemental Sources
YouTube: Prelims, undercards, replays, press conferences, and weigh-ins from DAZN, Golden Boy, PBC, and various promoters. Free.
Tubi / Pluto TV / Roku Channel / Vizio: Free ad-supported streaming with Top Rank Classics and archived fight libraries. No live events, but solid for classic fight binge-watching.
X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram: Live streams of press conferences, weigh-ins, open workouts, and short-form content from promoters and fighters. Free.
Cable and Satellite Add-Ons
If you still have a traditional TV provider, these services carry some boxing through channel bundles or PPV ordering:
Sling TV: Access to ESPN channels plus direct PPV boxing events through integration.
Fubo: Carries ESPN channels and some live boxing events plus on-demand content.
YouTube TV: Access to ESPN and other channels that may carry boxing-adjacent coverage.
DISH Network: PPV boxing on dedicated channels (460–474).
DIRECTV: PPV ordering plus access to ESPN and ability to connect streaming subscriptions.
Note: With no boxing currently on linear TV, these cable/satellite options are primarily useful for accessing PPV events or connecting to streaming apps — not for dedicated boxing programming.

The Reality
Boxing is more fragmented than it’s ever been. 2026 is the first year the sport exists entirely on streaming — no cable, no network TV, no single place to find everything. If you’re a serious fan, you’re subscribing to at least two or three services and still missing fights.
The upside is that Paramount+ and Netflix include fights without PPV surcharges, ProBox TV and Swerve TV stream cards for free, and YouTube covers the surrounding content at no cost. There are more ways to watch boxing at more price points than ever. The downside is that Top Rank — one of the sport’s most important promotions — doesn’t have a broadcast home at all right now, and the PPV model on DAZN and Prime Video means the biggest fights still cost $60–$80 on top of a subscription.
