""We are excited to announced an exciting new partnership with Vice TV," Soares wrote. "The LFA's mission has always been to showcase the sport's top up-and-coming fighters in front of the widest audience possible. Vice has built a loyal audience that values authenticity and is known for its unfiltered, ground-level storytelling. Together, this partnership will bring the untold stories of the athletes shaping the future of the sport to a national television audience, significantly increasing fighter visibility.""
"For several years prior, the LFA operated with its events airing on UFC Fight Pass. While the rumors that Fight Pass was disintegrating proved unfounded, a few leagues did change their arrangements including this company, as well as Unified MMA and Samourai MMA in Canada. UAE Warriors and Lux Fight League both reportedly re-upped their deal with UFC Fight Pass, with unconfirmed claims that the UFC had changed the terms."
Legacy Fighting Alliance signed a deal with Vice TV to broadcast 25 live events in 2026, beginning with LFA 224 on Jan. 16 in Prior Lake, Minnesota. The organization previously aired events on UFC Fight Pass and earlier on AXS TV. Vice TV is carried in roughly 40 million cable and subscription packages in the U.S. and appears on Brazilian television. The partnership aims to showcase top up-and-coming fighters to a national television audience, increase fighter visibility, and present authentic, ground-level athlete storytelling. Several regional MMA promotions adjusted broadcast arrangements recently, with some renewing Fight Pass deals amid unconfirmed reports of changed terms.
