PFL headed to South Florida for 2021 playoffs

The PFL headed to South Florida for its 2021 playoffs slate later this summer.

The promotion announced through the New York Post that it will hold its trio of postseason events on Aug. 13, 19 and 27 at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla.

The semifinal events by division will take place as follows: Men’s featherweight and lightweight on Aug. 13 (ESPN2); light heavyweights and welterweights on Aug. 19 (ESPN); and heavyweights and women’s lightweights on Aug. 27 (ESPN2). All three events will stream on ESPN+.

Since its return this year following a halt to 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the PFL has hosted its regular season at Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, N.J. That will continue this Thursday with PFL 4, which also features the promotional debut of boxing champion Claressa Shields, and finish with PFL 6 on June 25.

The PFL has yet to announce where it will hold its championship event, which has taken place at Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York in each of the first two years.
