Three PFL Playoff events will take place in October and will feature the top eight fighters in each of the competition’s six weight classes attempting to fight—and win—twice in the same night to advance to the PFL Championship. The season culminates with the PFL 2019 Championship on New Year’s Eve with world title fights in every weight class. Winners of each title bout will be crowned PFL World Champion in their weight class and earn $1 million.
