The PFL has set the playoff bouts for the first season of their tournament. The playoffs will take place over the course of three events and fighters in the tournament will have to win two fights on the same night to advance to the finals
Each tournament winner in the seven weight classes will be crowned champion and win a one million dollar purse. An additional three million dollars will be shared between other regular season and playoff competitors.
PFL 8 goes down at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans on Oct. 5, PFL 9 on Oct. 13 at Long Beach Arena in California, and PFL 10 in Washington, D.C. at the St. Elizabeths East Entertainment and Sports Arena on Oct. 20.
The regular season for the tournament finished up on Thursday night with PFL 7 in Atlantic City, N.J. The first season will wrap up with PFL 11 on New Years Eve at Hulu Theatre at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The reason for the gap of time between PFL 10 and 11 is to allow fighters who compete in the finals to have full training camps. Here are the cards for these upcoming shows:
