The PFL's 2025 season, debuting on April 3 in Orlando, showcases a complete overhaul of its fight organization. Key changes involve a shift from a traditional season format to a tournament style with eight fighters per weight class, including two alternates. Fighters will engage in quarterfinal brackets, with winners advancing to semifinals before competing for a $500,000 prize in August. With the addition of middleweight and men's bantamweight classes, the new structure aims to improve fighter participation and address past challenges in midseason replacements by announcing alternates ahead of time.
