PFL will then return to Las Vegas on April 12 at The Theater at Virgin Hotels, the night before UFC 300.

Additionally, PFL title challenger Clay Collard and former Bellator lightweight champion Patricky Pitbull are also expected to compete.
The third event is scheduled for April 19 at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, featuring 170-pound and 145-pound season match-ups. Fighters such as 2023 PFL champion Magomed Umalatov, former Bellator king Andrey Koreshkov, and Jesus Pinedo, the 2023 PFL featherweight champion who withdrew from a recent card in Saudi Arabia due to injury, are expected to be on the card, along with Timur Khizriev.

The PFL is excited to kick off the 2024 regular season in front of our great fans in San Antonio, Las Vegas, and Chicago. This promises to be the biggest regular season in history, with the PFL heading to ten top markets around the country and distribution to 160 countries around the world."
