On March 11, a special broadcast will be aired on ESPN+ to reveal the tournament brackets for the PFL Grand Prix in eight divisions: heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, welterweight, lightweight, featherweight, bantamweight, and women's flyweight.
During the broadcast, the seeding for each fighter will be announced, along with their paths to the title. PFL commentator Sean O'Connell will host the event, joined by former UFC fighter Dan Hardy.
Additionally, the tournament format has undergone various changes, including the fight rules. In previous seasons, elbow strikes were prohibited due to concerns that cuts could force fighters out of the tournament. Starting in 2025, elbow strikes will be allowed again.
The prize pool has also been revised: previously, fighters could earn up to one million dollars by winning 4-5 fights during the season. Now, participants will receive standard payouts under their contracts, and the winner of each tournament will also take home $500,000.
