Boxing in the United States is split across three primary broadcasters in 2025-26, each carrying a different promoter’s slate. There is no single subscription that covers every major card; the boxing landscape requires picking a promoter and following them, or subscribing to two or three services to track the full sport.
The 2025-26 broadcaster map
ESPN and ESPN+ carry the Top Rank slate. The deal runs through 2025-26 and covers every Top Rank card, plus the occasional non-Top Rank fight that ESPN picks up. Headline Top Rank cards air on the ESPN linear cable channel; the full slate including undercards lives on ESPN+ at $11.99 monthly.
DAZN US at $19.99 monthly or $224.99 annually carries the Matchroom slate, the Boxxer slate, and a portion of the smaller US promoter cards. DAZN is the largest single boxing subscription in the US by volume of cards — typically 25 to 35 fight nights per year.
Amazon Prime Video has the Premier Boxing Champions calendar as of the 2024-25 season, the first time PBC has lived on a single streaming home after years of distributed broadcasts across FOX and Showtime. The PBC deal is included with the standard Prime membership at $14.99 monthly or $139 annually.
Showtime PPV legacy library remains accessible through Paramount+ Premium for Showtime-tier subscribers, but Showtime no longer carries live boxing cards as of the 2024-25 cycle. The historical archive — Mayweather-Pacquiao, the Mayweather PPV catalogue, the older Showtime championship boxing back catalogue — remains available on Paramount+ Premium at $12.99 monthly.
How PPV pricing works for the marquee fights
The marquee boxing matches in the modern era — heavyweight title unifications, Canelo events, and the occasional crossover bout — are typically promoted as standalone PPV events outside the normal promoter-broadcaster pipeline. Pricing for these PPVs runs from $79.99 for a single-network PPV (typically on DAZN or ESPN+) to $89.99 for events carried across multiple distributors.
The 2024-25 cycle has seen several PPV cards distributed simultaneously on DAZN, ESPN+ and Amazon as a multi-distributor PPV; pricing for these is unified across distributors so the choice is which existing subscription to attach the PPV charge to.
A practical 2025-26 subscription plan
For a Top Rank follower, ESPN+ alone at $11.99 monthly covers the slate.
For a Matchroom follower, DAZN at $19.99 monthly covers the slate.
For a PBC follower, Amazon Prime (which most households already have) covers the slate at no incremental cost.
For a fan who wants to follow the whole sport without missing major cards, the combination of ESPN+ + DAZN + Amazon Prime runs roughly $47 monthly during active calendar windows. PPV cards are additional on top of this baseline.
The pound-for-pound calendar
The 2025-26 boxing calendar is busier than usual: Canelo’s contract terms have shifted his cards across DAZN and Amazon depending on the event, the heavyweight division is in a unification push that has driven multiple PPV nights, and the women’s division has expanded its prime-time visibility through DAZN’s continued investment.
For a high-engagement fan, the practical answer is to maintain the DAZN annual subscription ($224.99 paid once) as the boxing anchor and add the other services month-by-month based on the upcoming card schedule.
