Six PFL fighters will walk away with a 2024 weight class championship when the promotion holds its finals in November, with the main card on ESPN and all of the fights, including prelims, available for streaming on ESPN+.
The date and site of the finals have not yet been announced. In recent years, the season finals have occurred in late November.
Champions will be crowned in six weight classes: heavyweight, light heavyweight, welterweight, lightweight, featherweight and women's flyweight.
Among the 12 finalists are one defending champion (Impa Kasanganay, light heavyweight) and a champ from a past season (Brendan Loughnane, featherweight in 2022). Two unbeatens, Shamil Musaev and Magomed Umalatov, meet in the welterweight finale, and there are two other undefeated fighters on the card. There's also a former Bellator champion, lightweight Brent Primus, and a onetime UFC title challenger, flyweight Taila Santos.
Here is how the playoffs have unfolded so far, along with the finals matchups, seeds in parentheses.
