How to Watch PFL Belfast

PFL Belfast airs live on ESPN2 in the United States on Thursday, April 16, 2026, with the main card beginning at 7:00 PM ET. The Professional Fighters League heads to The SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland, for one of the most anticipated events on its European calendar.

The main card is headlined by a lightweight clash between undefeated Irish contender Darragh Kelly and Jay Jay "The Maori Kid" Wilson. Kelly is undefeated and carries the full weight of a passionate Belfast crowd on his shoulders. Wilson, New Zealander, is a dangerous finisher who has built a reputation as one of the most exciting fighters on the PFL roster. This one has finish-or-nothing energy on both sides.

In the co-main event, Ballymena's own Rhys "Skeletor" McKee makes his PFL debut. A former BAMMA and Cage Warriors champion, McKee arrives with serious European credentials and a local fanbase that will make The SSE Arena loud from the first bell. His debut is one of the most eagerly anticipated PFL Europe appearances of the year.

The card also features former Champion Dovlet Yagshimuradov vs. Tyson Pedro in light heavyweight action, along with a deep undercard of global and European talent including Chris Mixan vs. Eoin Sheridan, Pedro Carvalho vs. Sergio Cossio, and the PFL debut of Eoghan Masoliver.
