\nZuffa Boxing-run by the parent company of UFC and WWE-debuts in Vietnam with exclusive rights held by FPT Play from 2026 to 2028.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the first time, Vietnamese audiences will have access to one of boxing\u2019s most high-profile and entertainment-driven formats: Zuffa Boxing. The exclusive broadcast rights, spanning three consecutive seasons from 2026 to 2028, have been secured by FPT Play-bringing the UFC-inspired boxing series to screens across Vietnam.<\/p>\n

The debut event, Zuffa Boxing 1, takes place on January 24. Vietnamese fans can tune in to six action-packed fights-three Prelims and three Main Card bouts-broadcast live and exclusively on all FPT Play platforms.<\/p>\n

Zuffa Boxing is the latest venture under TKO Group Holdings, the parent company behind both the UFC and WWE. Designed to reinvent modern boxing, the league follows a format that echoes the promotional spectacle and organizational structure of MMA-where every event is a major showcase and every bout is built as a headline act.<\/p>\n

The tournament quickly gained international attention in late 2025 with a super middleweight superfight between Canelo \u00c1lvarez and Terence Crawford. Since then, Zuffa Boxing has been positioned as a premium global boxing series, offering only 2 to 4 carefully curated events each year.<\/p>\n

This deliberate pacing, combined with elite matchmaking and cinematic production, sets it apart from the saturated fight calendars of traditional boxing. Every Zuffa Boxing event is treated as a standalone spectacle-something not just to watch, but to experience.<\/p>\n

For Vietnam, the arrival of Zuffa Boxing is more than a new form of sports content. It\u2019s a signal that the country\u2019s sports broadcasting market is entering a more competitive and global phase, where international standards in both production and audience engagement are increasingly expected.<\/p>\n

FPT Play, which previously introduced leading MMA events to Vietnamese screens, continues to lead the way in this space. With the addition of Zuffa Boxing, the platform adds a new dimension to its sports portfolio-one where combat sports meet entertainment innovation.<\/p>\n

Whether you’re a casual viewer or a seasoned boxing fan, Zuffa Boxing promises something different: not just fights, but narratives; not just athletes, but stars.<\/p>\n
