Boxing in 2026 feels like a different sport compared to a few years ago. The days of one broadcaster being in control are long gone. Fight fans now have real choice — and more ways than ever to catch the biggest fights. From streaming giants stepping into the boxing world and TV giants returning, 2026 looks huge for boxing streaming.
Boxing streaming options in 2026 and beyond
Netflix becomes serious boxing player
Fight week moves fast, and readers want context before the first jab lands. Modern boxing coverage leans on schedules, punch stats, and even sports betting software that maps shifting expectations. Used wisely, those numbers don’t replace storytelling; they sharpen it, helping fans spot turning points sooner. It’s like having a corner team whispering trends while you watch.
Netflix has quietly become one of the most important players in boxing. After the massive success of Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson (which pulled in over 60 million households worldwide), the platform doubled down. In 2026, Netflix will be back with more big events, including Tyson Fury vs Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The appeal is obvious: no subscription add-ons, no blackouts, and global access. If you already have Netflix for everything else, you’re getting boxing thrown in for free. The downside? They’re still selective — they cherry-pick the biggest names and don’t cover every domestic undercard. But for the marquee fights, Netflix appears to be the new home.
Sky Sports returns to battle
Sky Sports, once the undisputed king of UK boxing, had stepped back in recent years as DAZN took over much of the top-level action. But 2026 marks a comeback for the company.
Sky struck a major new deal with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), securing rights to several high-profile cards, including Jake Paul events and key women’s fights featuring fighters such as Alycia Baumgardner, Caroline Dubois and Ellie Scotney.
For British fans, this is massive. Sky’s production quality, commentary team, and accessibility via Sky Q, Sky Stream, and Now TV make it feel like the old days — just with better streaming options. The MVP partnership in particular has brought some glamour back to boxing in the UK, and will provide a huge boost for women’s boxing.
DAZN’s ultimate package changes everything
DAZN remains at the forefront of boxing streaming options, and their new “Ultimate” package in 2026 has made them even harder to ignore.
For a single monthly fee (higher than the standard plan), subscribers get:
- Access to over 185 fight nights per year from the biggest boxing promoters, including Queensberry, Matchroom, Golden Boy, BKFC and GLORY.
- A minimum of 12 PPV events per year will be included as standard, at no extra cost.
- UK customers will also get to see Serie A games, so fans can watch every single game from the Italian league live and on-demand. Plus, highlights from LALIGA, Bundesliga and the Saudi Pro League.
- U.S. fight fans will have coverage of selected UEFA Champions League & Europa League matches and every match from Serie A, all in Spanish commentary, and LALIGA, Bundesliga and the Saudi Pro League highlights.
It’s expensive compared to basic DAZN, but for serious fans who don’t want to juggle subscriptions, it’s become the one-stop shop.
The bottom line for fight fans
In 2026, boxing viewing is more fragmented than ever, but also more accessible. If you want the absolute biggest fights, Netflix is hard to beat for simplicity. For UK fans who like traditional TV production, Sky Sports is back in a big way thanks to Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian at MVP. And for those who want everything, DAZN’s Ultimate package is arguably the most comprehensive (and expensive) option.
The sport isn’t perfect — scheduling clashes and regional restrictions still exist — but never before have fans had so many legitimate ways to watch high-level boxing without missing the action. It’s not a perfect world, but we definitely have more boxing streaming options than ever.
