Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) will now be able to reach new audiences after launching a dedicated standalone channel on FuboTV.
The combat sports promotion’s BKFC TV will mark the first time the company will be able to broadcast its fight cards outside the BKFC app. The channel on FuboTV, alongside live fight cards, will also showcase the BKFC Prospect Series and shows from the past.
David Feldman, Founder and CEO of BKFC, said: “Fubo has been a great partner for BKFC. We have achieved phenomenal viewership on Fubo Sports and thought the timing was perfect for us to launch our FAST channel with Fubo.
“We look forward to giving the fans nonstop BKFC action any time of the day, any day of the week.”
FuboTV’s partnership with BKFC dates back to when the fighting promotion first streamed on Fubo Sports on the FAST network. The sports streaming service revealed that BKFC consistently ranked among the top 10 programmes on the network.
BKFC TV is available as part of Fubo’s subscription packages, featuring 400+ leading sports, news and entertainment channels.
Pamela Duckworth, Head of Fubo Studios, commented: “BKFC fight content took off on our Fubo Sports FAST channel and we couldn’t wait to bring a dedicated BKFC network to Fubo’s live TV streaming platform.
“Fans crave high-energy combat sports and we continue to see that trend hold true with BKFC fights. Now Fubo subscribers can watch BKFC content around the clock.”
BKFC is riding a wave of momentum in 2024, featuring some of its most high-profile events to date and adding combat superstar Conor McGregor as an investor in the company.
With the Irishman being able to leverage his mass popularity to new audiences, BKFC will hope to broaden its fanbase as an alternative combat sports entertainment platform.
Fubo has also garnered a win recently after successfully halting the initial launch of Venu Sports – the multi-conglomerate-backed US sports streaming platform that combined all sports content from Disney, FOX and Warner Bros Discovery.
