US streaming television service FuboTV has announced the launch of BKFC TV, a new free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel on its service in collaboration with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) bare-knuckle boxing promotion.

BKFC events past and present from its top-tier numbered events, its secondary Fight Nights, and its developmental Prospect Series, will all be shown on the FAST channel 24/7, with broadcasts jointly programmed by the two partners.

This comes in addition to Fubo continuing to stream BKFC fights on its primary live TV streaming FAST network.

Back in January 2024, Fubo acquired a minority stake in BKFC that saw it expand its coverage of the combat sports promotion which is owned by technology and combat sport streaming platform Triller.

BKFC, founded in 2018, was the first promotion to hold an official state-sanctioned and commissioned bare-knuckle boxing event in the US since 1889.

FuboTV has said BKFC’s live fights are consistently among the top 10 most watched programming on Fubo Sports, with head of Fubo Studios, Pamela Duckworth, stating: “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.”

Speaking on the latest deal, which builds on a long-standing partnership between the two, BKFC founder and chief executive David Feldman added: “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.”

Last year, TrillerTV acquired the rights to show live events from BKFC, which it shows via its subscription service and pay-per-view section.

Protocol Sports Marketing, the Canada-based international rights and marketing agency, is the BKFC’s exclusive media rights distributor as part of a multi-year deal struck in June 2022.
