The second half of the PFL’s 2024 regular season starts this week with PFL 2024, Week 4, which features heavyweights and women’s flyweights in attempts to qualify for the four-fighter postseason.
Here’s how to watch PFL 2024, Week 4, with a complete lineup and breakdown by division.
Broadcast and streaming info
PFL 2024, Week 4 takes place Thursday at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.
The prelims stream on ESPN+ at 5:30 p.m. ET. The main card airs on ESPN and streams on ESPN+ at 9 p.m. ET.
Heavyweight
The card’s main event is at heavyweight. Former Bellator interim champ Valentin Moldavsky (13-3) made a big first impression on the PFL to open the season with a first-round knockout of 2022 season winner Ante Delija (24-6). Moldavsky and his 6 points takes on former Bellator title challenger Linton Vassell (24-9), who lost to Denis Goltsov (33-8) in the opening round. Goltsov has 4 points in the standings and takes on Vassell in the co-feature.
Also in the hunt at heavyweight, Davion Franklin (6-2) takes a short-notice fight against Oleg Popov (17-1), who has 5 points. Franklin, fighting for the first time this season, needs a finish to have a shot at the postseason. The same goes for Tyrell Fortune (13-2), who is making his PFL debut against vs. Marcelo Golm (10-5), who lost in his opening fight.

Women's flyweight
The playoff picture is loaded at women’s flyweight, where Dakota Ditcheva (11-0), Taila Santos (20-3) and Jena Bishop (7-0) all have 6 points from first-round finishes in their openers. Plus, reigning Bellator champion Liz Carmouche (21-7) has 3 points from her trilogy win over Juliana Velasquez (12-3) – who has all three losses in her career to Carmouche.
Ditcheva (11-0) takes on Chelsea Hackett (4-2-1), Santos fights Bishop, Carmouche meets former Bellator title challenger Kana Watanabe (13-2-1) and Ilara Joanne (11-9) takes on Shanna Young (9-7), both of whom lost their openers. Young missed weight, so she starts this week with -1 point in the standings. Only a second-round finish or better, theoretically, would qualify her for the playoffs.
