Two of the most iconic names in boxing history are set to square off again.
Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao have officially agreed to a professional boxing rematch scheduled for Saturday, September 19, 2026, in Las Vegas. The event will be streamed live globally on Netflix, marking a major move for the streaming platform into high-profile live combat sports.
The fight will take place at the Sphere in Las Vegas, an immersive entertainment venue that will host its first professional boxing match with this bout. The rematch comes 11 years after their first historic meeting in May 2015, which broke revenue records and became one of the most lucrative bouts in boxing history.
Mayweather, who retired with a perfect 50-0 record, announced he’s coming out of retirement to face Pacquiao again. At 48 years old, he enters the ring aiming to repeat his victory from their first fight, where he won by unanimous decision. Pacquiao, now 47, has also returned from retirement and is chasing what would be one of the most notable wins of his legendary career.
Netflix’s expansion into live sports broadcasting continues with this marquee matchup. The platform has been building its roster of live sporting events, and the Mayweather-Pacquiao rematch underscores its ambition to draw massive global audiences.
Details on fight weight class, number of rounds, undercard, and ticket availability have not yet been released but are expected in the coming weeks as excitement builds toward one of the year’s most anticipated sporting events.
