Fite, the combat sports network, has secured coverage of soccer’s 2023-24 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League in the UK, Ireland, Belgium, France, and the Netherlands.

The exclusive two-year deal involves the full tournament being streamed on the Fite+ service.

Adam Bigwood, vice president of subscriptions at Fite, said: "We are delighted to bring the AFC Champions League to our Fite+ subscribers in these territories. This partnership not only bolsters our rapidly expanding sports content library but also underscores our commitment to delivering top-notch sports entertainment to our fans."

The AFC Champions League group stages kicked off on Monday (September 18).

Fite previously showed the CONMEBOL qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Fite+ also covers a variety of combat properties including Game Changer Wrestling, Triller Fight Club, National Wrestling Alliance, Fight2Win, SlapFight Championship, and Star Boxing.

Earlier this year the network acquired the rights to show live events from US bare-knuckle boxing promotion Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC).

BKFC events are shown on the Fite+ subscription service and are also made available on a pay-per-view basis.
