FuboTV adds BKFC FAST channel
US streaming TV service FuboTV has announced the launch of BKFC TV, a new free, ad-supported streaming TV channel (FAST) on its service in collaboration with bare-knuckle boxing promotion Bare-Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).
Past and current BKFC events, from the top numbered events to the secondary Fight Nights and the developmental Prospect Series, will be shown 24/7 on the FAST channel, with broadcasts co-programmed by the two partners.
Additionally, Fubo will continue to broadcast BKFC fights on its primary live TV streaming network, FAST.
Back in January 2024, Fubo acquired a minority stake in BKFC, expanding its coverage of the martial arts promotion, which is owned by technology and martial arts streaming platform Triller.
Founded in 2018, BKFC was the first federation since 1889 to host an official, government-sanctioned and mandated bare-knuckle boxing competition in the United States.
According to FuboTV, BKFC live fights are consistently among the top 10 most watched programs on Fubo Sports. Pamela Duckworth, Head of Fubo Studios, said, “BKFC fight content has taken 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.”

Commenting on the latest deal, which builds on a long-standing partnership between the two, BKFC Founder and CEO David Feldman added: “Fubo has been a great partner for BKFC.
“We have seen phenomenal viewership on Fubo Sports and thought the timing was perfect to launch our FAST channel with Fubo.”
Last year, TrillerTV acquired the rights to broadcast live BKFC events through its subscription service and pay-per-view.
Protocol Sports Marketing, the Canada-based international rights and marketing agency, is the exclusive media rights distributor for BKFC under a multi-year agreement signed in June 2022.
