In a massive development for boxing fans worldwide, Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao are set to face off once again in a professional rematch on Saturday, September 19, 2026. The highly anticipated bout will take place at the iconic Sphere in Las Vegas, marking the first-ever professional boxing match to be held at this cutting-edge venue.

The fight will stream live globally on Netflix, included in all subscription plans, no additional pay-per-view fees required. This marks a significant shift from their original 2015 encounter, which drew massive pay-per-view numbers but left many fans wanting more due to its controversial outcome.

The two boxing legends first clashed in what was billed as the “Fight of the Century” on May 2, 2015, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Mayweather won by unanimous decision, improving his undefeated record to 49-0 (later 50-0), while Pacquiao cited a shoulder injury as a factor in his performance. The bout shattered pay-per-view records at the time but was criticized for lacking action.

The Sphere, a $2.3-billion spherical venue known for its immersive 360-degree LED exterior and interior screens, has hosted major events like concerts and UFC 306 (the first combat sports event there in 2024). This will be its first professional boxing card, with Netflix promising an “immersive experience unlike any other in boxing history” by leveraging the venue’s advanced technology for viewers at home.

The Mayweather-Pacquiao rematch marks the latest chapter in Netflix’s record-breaking expansion into live boxing. It follows the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson event, which drew 108 million live global viewers to become the most-streamed sporting event in history; Taylor-Serrano 3, which took place at Madison Square Garden and was the most-watched professional women’s sporting event of 2025 in the US; and the Canelo Álvarez vs. Terence Crawford showdown, which garnered 41.4 million viewers as the century’s most-watched men’s championship fight. Netflix continues this momentum with the upcoming return of Tyson “The Gypsy King” Fury against Arslanbek Makhmudov on April 11 – Netflix’s first-ever live event broadcast from the United Kingdom.
