If you want boxing on TV tonight in the UK, it is almost always on DAZN or Sky Sports. Netflix and BBC Two pick up the odd big night. The promoter decides where a fight goes, and most cards need a subscription.
Boxing on TV Tonight: UK Channels, Free Fights and Times 2026
When we updated this page we checked the next seven days of Freeview and Sky listings. There was no live boxing on any UK channel in that window, so the nearest fights are the streaming and pay-TV cards below.
Which channels show boxing in the UK?
DAZN has the most British boxing. Matchroom has been there for years, and Queensberry joined on an exclusive multi-year deal that started on 1 April 2025, which took its shows off TNT Sports. Most of the UK-based fights in November and December 2026 are on DAZN.
Sky Sports has Zuffa Boxing and Jake Paul’s MVP cards. Boxxer’s Sky deal ended in 2025 and its shows now go out on the BBC. Chris Billam-Smith signed with Zuffa in April 2026, and Sky Sports confirmed his fights will be live on its channels in the UK and Ireland. Our Sky Sports TV guide lists what is on its channels today.
Netflix has Tyson Fury against Anthony Joshua on 11 December, included in a standard membership.
BBC Two is listed for Lauren Price’s fight on 20 November, the only BBC boxing night we could confirm for the rest of the year.
TNT Sports has no boxing card we could find for November or December 2026. The TNT Sports TV guide will show anything added later.
Channel 5 has shown free-to-air boxing before, but we could not confirm a current deal, so no Channel 5 fight is listed here.
Can you watch boxing for free?
Sometimes, but not often. The only confirmed free fight right now is the Lauren Price night on BBC Two and iPlayer. Anything on BBC Two is free with a TV licence, and iPlayer works on the same terms.
Free-to-air cards do get added at short notice, so check sport on TV today on the morning of a fight. Skip the “free stream” links that go round on social media. They are unlicensed and often unsafe.
How much do DAZN, Sky and pay-per-view cost?
DAZN’s UK page lists £25.99 a month on a rolling plan, or £119.99 for a year paid up front. There is also an “Ultimate” tier that bundles a number of pay-per-view events, and a big fight such as Canelo v Mbilli may be sold as a pay-per-view, so check the price before you buy. DAZN changes its offers a lot, so check the price at checkout.
Sky Sports comes as part of a Sky TV package or through NOW. We could not verify a 2026 pay-per-view price for any UK card, so we are not quoting one. Fury v Joshua has no pay-per-view fee on Netflix.
If you are weighing up platforms, our Freeview vs Sky vs Virgin comparison sets out what each includes. The boxing apps run on a smart TV, streaming stick, console, phone or laptop.
Ring-walk times: when does the main event start?
Promoters publish a start time for the card, but the main event comes much later. The ring walk, when the headline fighters come out, is the time most people actually want.
There is no fixed slot. Big UK shows usually reach the main event late in the evening, and the timing moves if the undercard fights end early or go the distance. Cards in the US or the Middle East start late at night in Britain, so the main event can fall in the early hours.
As a rough guide, take the broadcaster’s start time and allow two to three hours before the main event on a big card.
Upcoming fights: November 2026

Frequently asked questions
Where can I watch boxing on TV tonight in the UK?
Most live boxing in the UK is on DAZN, Sky Sports or, for a handful of big nights, Netflix and BBC Two. Which one has tonight’s fight depends on the promoter, so check the card on the promoter’s or broadcaster’s own page.
Is any boxing free to watch in the UK?
Yes, occasionally. Lauren Price’s title fight on Friday 20 November is listed for BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, which need only a TV licence. Most other fights need a paid subscription.
Is Fury v Joshua pay-per-view?
No. Netflix says the fight on Friday 11 December is included for members at no extra cost. You still need a Netflix subscription.
What time is the main event ring walk?
There is no fixed time. Big UK shows usually reach the main event late in the evening, a couple of hours or more after the broadcast starts. On a US card the same fight can be in the early hours of the next morning, UK time.
Is boxing on TNT Sports in 2026?
We could not find any TNT Sports boxing card confirmed for November or December 2026. Queensberry moved its shows to DAZN from April 2025, which ended its TNT Sports deal.
How much does DAZN cost in the UK?
DAZN’s UK page lists £25.99 a month on a rolling plan and £119.99 as a one-off payment for a year. Prices and offers change, so check the DAZN site before you buy.
Why do some fights start after midnight in the UK?
Fights held in America are timed for the US evening, which is the early hours in Britain. A 7pm start on the US East Coast is usually midnight UK time.
