The Professional Fighters League (PFL) is an American mixed martial arts league founded by venture capitalist Donn Davis in 2017, officially launching in 2018. It emerged from the acquisition and restructuring of the World Series of Fighting (WSOF) by MMAX Investment Partners. PFL distinguishes itself with a unique format where fighters compete in a regular season, playoffs, and championship, rather than the traditional year-round model. The league focuses on delivering a structured and transparent competition framework for MMA athletes, appealing to both fighters and fans.

Notable figures associated with PFL include founder Donn Davis and various high-profile fighters who have joined its ranks. The league has attracted significant investment from prominent venture capital firms and sports investors. Key achievements include successfully establishing a new competitive format in the MMA world and gaining a substantial following. PFL's impact is evident in its growing viewership and the increasing number of athletes seeking to compete under its innovative structure.
