Platform by platform

Boxxer cards and selected international nights, inside the Sky Sports subscription or on NOW; the biggest events go to Sky Sports Box Office as pay-per-view.

Channel 5

Free-to-air
Free-to-airFree

The only regular free-to-air window: occasional domestic cards, usually with a British headliner. No fixed calendar; worth checking the listings the week of a fight.

Netflix

StreamingSubscription

One-off mega-events, worldwide and inside the regular subscription, without pay-per-view. Two or three cards a year, usually the most searched ones.

No exact prices on purpose: they change every few months and a stale figure misleads more than none

Common questions

What time do fights start in the UK?

British cards usually open between 5 and 7 pm with the main event walking around 10 pm. US cards start at midnight or 1 am UK time and their main events land in the small hours; the fight page for each card gives the exact time in UK time.

Can I watch boxing for free in the UK?

Rarely. Channel 5 airs the occasional domestic card free-to-air; everything else is subscription or pay-per-view. Trial periods on the streaming platforms cover a specific fight night.

What is a PPV and why do I pay for it on top of my subscription?

A one-off charge for a specific card that applies even if you already subscribe to DAZN, TNT Sports or Sky. It is reserved for the fights that sell on their own. A UK PPV does not work for watching from another country.
