The US boxing broadcast landscape consolidated meaningfully in 2024 when Premier Boxing Champions ended its split between Showtime and FOX and moved exclusively to Amazon Prime Video. The 2025-26 calendar is now distributed across four homes, each anchored to a specific promoter.
The 2025-26 broadcaster map
ESPN and ESPN+ carry the Top Rank Boxing card calendar. Headline cards run on ESPN linear with prelims on ESPN+, and the smaller domestic cards run as ESPN+ exclusives. Top Rank’s promoter relationship with ESPN dates to 2017 and is the longest-running of the present US boxing carriage deals.
DAZN US at $24.99 per month or $224.99 per year carries the Matchroom Boxing slate and the Queensberry Promotions cards. Matchroom has been on DAZN since 2018, and DAZN’s US strategy has been built around boxing as the anchor sport. Most Matchroom cards run as DAZN-included content, with the largest 2025-26 PPVs requiring an additional PPV purchase on top of the subscription.
Amazon Prime Video has the Premier Boxing Champions slate exclusively starting in 2024. PBC cards previously split across Showtime and FOX run on Prime as part of the standard Prime Video membership at $14.99 per month, or as PPV add-ons for the largest cards (typically two to three per year).
Showtime PPV as a legacy product no longer carries new cards. The Showtime back library remains accessible through Paramount+ with the Showtime add-on. Showtime as a boxing-promoter platform ended its operations in December 2023 when ViacomCBS folded the linear network’s sports programming.
How PPV pricing works
The three active US boxing PPV vendors price differently in 2025-26:
- DAZN PPV (Matchroom and Queensberry headliners): $59.99 to $79.99 per card on top of the DAZN subscription
- Amazon PBC PPV (Premier Boxing Champions headliners): $79.99 per card on top of Prime membership
- ESPN+ PPV (Top Rank headliners): $79.99 per card on top of ESPN+ subscription, with rare cards bundled at no additional cost as an ESPN+ exclusive
A practical 2025-26 viewing plan
For a fan tracking every active US boxing promoter, the minimum subscription footprint is ESPN+ ($11.99/mo), DAZN ($24.99/mo) and Amazon Prime ($14.99/mo). That covers every regular card across all four active US boxing promoters. PPV cards remain separate purchases.
For a single-promoter follower, the cheapest path is to subscribe only to the home of that promoter and add PPV purchases as needed.
What is not on the calendar
Boxing in the United States no longer has a regular free-to-air home in 2025-26. NBC’s last boxing window closed in 2018, FOX’s PBC window closed in 2024, and the FOX-broadcast schedule has been fully absorbed into Amazon. The free-tier boxing option that remains is the prelim slate on each promoter’s streaming home (ESPN+, DAZN free trials, Prime).
