The second half of the PFL’s regular season continues this week with 2023 PFL 5, which features featherweights and light heavyweights in action for the second time this year.
Here’s how to watch PFL 5, with a complete lineup and breakdown by division.
Broadcast and streaming info
2023 PFL 5 takes place Thursday at Overtime Elite Arena in Atlanta.
The prelims stream on ESPN+ at 6:30 p.m. ET. The main card simultaneously airs on ESPN and streams on ESPN+ at 10 p.m. ET.
Heavyweight
Reigning heavyweight champion Ante Delija will compete for the first time this season after he was forced out of his scheduled opening bout with Yorgan De Castro in April. With 0 points in the standings, Delija will need an early finish to give himself a shot to advance to the postseason. Denis Goltsov leads the heavyweight pack with 6 points, followed by Maurice Greene (5), Danilo Marques (3), Renan Ferreira (3), and Matheus Scheffel (3).
Women's featherweights
Amber Leibrock sits in the driver’s seat as the leader of the women’s featherweight standings with 6 points, followed by Marina Mokhnatkina (5), Larissa Pacheco (3), and Evelyn Martins (3). Pacheco, who won last season’s women’s lightweight championship, could be in need of something big to secure a postseason berth. Former UFC standout Aspen Ladd heads into her second PFL appearance with no points and said she will have a sense of urgency in her fight with Karolina Sobek.
