FightStar Championship has signed a new global broadcast partnership with DAZN, with three UK MMA events set to stream free worldwide beginning with FSC 37 in London on August 23.
FightStar Championship has secured a major broadcasting boost after announcing a new global partnership with DAZN that will see the UK based MMA promotion streamed free to viewers worldwide.
The agreement begins with FSC 37 on Sunday, August 23 at Indigo at The O2 in London, marking FightStar's debut on the global sports streaming platform. DAZN will broadcast the event live from 7pm BST as it continues to expand its growing combat sports portfolio.
FightStar gains worldwide platform
The partnership represents one of the biggest developments in FightStar Championship's history, giving the promotion access to DAZN's international audience while allowing fans around the world to watch events at no additional cost.
Three FightStar events are currently scheduled to air on DAZN before the end of 2026, with London hosting FSC 37 and FSC 39, while Manchester's BEC Arena stages FSC 38 in October.
For British MMA, the deal provides another route for domestic talent to compete in front of a global audience alongside established organisations already featured on the platform.
Three title fights headline FSC 37
FightStar's first event under the new agreement arrives with a championship heavy card.
The main event sees veteran Nathan "Mr. Bag & Tag" Jones defend the welterweight title against Tom Mullen, who enters the contest riding a seven fight winning streak.
Former UFC light heavyweight Ihor Potieria also features in the co main event as he challenges Cally Gibrainn de Oliveira for the FightStar light heavyweight championship.
The flyweight title is also on the line as Britain's top ranked flyweight Muhidin Abubakar takes on Brazilian submission specialist Ronaldo Oliveira.
Alongside the championship contests, the promotion's £25,000 featherweight tournament reaches the semi final stage, with four athletes competing for a place in the final.
DAZN continues combat sports expansion
The addition of FightStar Championship further strengthens DAZN's combat sports offering, which already includes boxing, MMA, bare knuckle boxing and other fight promotions from around the world.
DAZN CEO Shay Segev described FightStar as "a leading force in British mixed martial arts" and said making the events available free worldwide would help introduce the promotion to new audiences.
FightStar Managing Director Kay Khan added that the agreement represents "a significant milestone" for both the organisation and its athletes, giving the roster an opportunity to showcase their talent on a global stage.
FSC 37 streams live and free on DAZN on Sunday, August 23, with additional FightStar events scheduled for October 17 in Manchester and December 19 in London.
