The boxing calendar rarely stays quiet for long. August alone has world-title fights in Las Vegas, London and Birmingham, while September brings Katie Taylor’s farewell at Croke Park and another huge UK-versus-US clash when Conor Benn faces Ryan Garcia.
This boxing schedule will keep track of the biggest upcoming fights, UK start times and confirmed TV or streaming details as the rest of 2026 develops. If you’re only interested in what is happening today or over the current weekend, our regularly updated boxing tonight guide gives you the shorter answer.
Fight dates and cards can move, sometimes with only a few days’ notice. We’ll update this page when promoters confirm changes rather than filling the calendar with rumoured bouts.

Boxing Schedule: August 2026
Amanda Serrano vs Lucrecia Manzur – 21 August
Amanda Serrano puts her unified featherweight titles on the line against Lucrecia Manzur at Pechanga Resort Casino in California.
Most Valuable Promotions has the main card beginning at 7pm local time on Friday, which means 3am BST on Saturday 22 August for UK viewers. The main card is being streamed through TikTok LIVE Premiere, with prelims available earlier on MVP’s YouTube channel.
Date: Friday 21 August
UK main card: 3am BST, Saturday morning
Venue: Pechanga Resort Casino, California

Serrano is chasing another piece of history too, with one more stoppage taking her beyond the longstanding women’s knockout record she currently shares.
George Liddard vs Dario Morello – 22 August
George Liddard challenges Dario Morello for the vacant European middleweight title on Saturday night.
One late change is worth knowing about. The show was originally announced for York Hall, but the BBBofC now lists it at the Copper Box Arena, following temporary issues with the original venue. DAZN remains the broadcaster.
Date: Saturday 22 August
Card start: Around 7pm BST
Venue: Copper Box Arena, London
UK coverage: DAZN
Jimmy Sains vs Tom Cowling and Tiah Mai Ayton vs Ellie Hellewell are among the supporting fights currently listed on the card.
Rolly Romero vs Teofimo Lopez – 22 August
Later the same night, attention shifts to Las Vegas.
Rolly Romero defends the WBA welterweight world title against Teofimo Lopez at T-Mobile Arena. PBC’s pay-per-view broadcast begins at 8pm ET, which converts to 1am BST on Sunday 23 August. The event is available through DAZN and Prime Video.
Date: Saturday 22 August
UK main card: 1am BST, Sunday
Expected main event: Around 4am BST
Venue: T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas
UK coverage: DAZN PPV / Prime Video
Lopez is stepping up to welterweight as he attempts to win a world title in a third division, while Romero makes the first defence of his full WBA crown.
Moses Itauma vs Filip Hrgovic – 29 August
A week later comes one of the biggest fights on the British boxing schedule.
Moses Itauma faces Filip Hrgovic at The O2 in London for the vacant IBF heavyweight world title. The venue confirms the card for Saturday 29 August, while the fight will be shown on DAZN PPV.
Date: Saturday 29 August
Expected main event: Around 10pm BST
Venue: The O2, London
UK coverage: DAZN PPV
For Itauma, this is no longer simply another step up in opposition. It is a genuine world-title fight against an experienced heavyweight contender.
We’ve covered his rise, record and route towards the top of the division in our Moses Itauma next fight guide.
Mikaela Mayer vs Chantelle Cameron – 29 August
There is another major British card on the very same night.
Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron meet at bp pulse LIVE in Birmingham, with the WBA, WBC and WBO super-welterweight titles at stake. Sky Sports has confirmed live UK coverage.
Date: Saturday 29 August
UK time: Evening, exact main-event time TBC
Venue: bp pulse LIVE, Birmingham
UK coverage: Sky Sports
The card is built around UK-versus-USA match-ups, with Caroline Dubois, Terri Harper and other notable names also scheduled to feature.
It creates an awkward but very good problem for British boxing fans: Itauma-Hrgovic and Mayer-Cameron take place on the same Saturday.
Boxing Schedule: September 2026
Katie Taylor vs Flora Pili – 5 September
Katie Taylor’s final professional fight could be one of the defining boxing events of the year.
Taylor faces unbeaten Flora Pili at Croke Park in Dublin, finally getting the stadium fight she has spoken about for years. Matchroom has confirmed that the contest will be shown live worldwide on DAZN.
Date: Saturday 5 September
UK/Ireland event start: From late afternoon
Main event: Evening, exact time TBC
Venue: Croke Park, Dublin
Coverage: DAZN
Taylor’s WBA, WBO, IBF and Ring Magazine super-lightweight titles are on the line, with the vacant WBC belt also part of the undisputed championship fight.
The undercard includes Dave Allen vs Thomas Carty, Paddy Donovan vs Tyrone McKenna and several other Irish names.
Ryan Garcia vs Conor Benn – 12 September
Conor Benn heads to Las Vegas for arguably the biggest opportunity of his career when he challenges Ryan Garcia.
The bout takes place at T-Mobile Arena on Saturday 12 September, with Garcia’s WBC welterweight championship at stake. UFC/Zuffa Boxing has confirmed DAZN for viewers in the UK and Ireland, while Paramount+ carries the event internationally in other territories.
Date: Saturday 12 September
UK time: Early hours of Sunday expected, exact schedule TBC
Venue: T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas
UK coverage: DAZN
Garcia enters as world champion, while Benn gets the chance to win the same sort of major world title his father Nigel chased throughout his career.
Because this is a US card, expect the headline fight to land deep into Sunday morning for UK fans. We’ll add the confirmed main-card and ring-walk times once they are published.
John Hedges vs Pat Brown – 19 September
The domestic scene takes over again one week later.
John Hedges meets unbeaten Manchester fighter Pat Brown for the British and Commonwealth cruiserweight titles at Co-op Live. Matchroom has confirmed the show as part of its autumn UK schedule, with DAZN carrying the action.
Date: Saturday 19 September
UK time: TBC
Venue: Co-op Live, Manchester
UK coverage: DAZN
It might not have the global profile of Garcia-Benn, but this is exactly the sort of domestic clash that can push the winner towards the European and world rankings.
Boxing Schedule: October 2026
Ben Whittaker vs Conor Wallace – 3 October
Ben Whittaker returns to Birmingham for the toughest-looking test of his professional career so far.
Whittaker faces Australia’s Conor Wallace in an IBF light-heavyweight final eliminator at Utilita Arena Birmingham. The winner moves much closer to a world-title opportunity.
Date: Saturday 3 October
UK time: TBC
Venue: Utilita Arena Birmingham
UK coverage: DAZN
Whittaker’s combination of showmanship and genuine world-level ambition has made him one of the more interesting British fighters to watch. Wallace should provide a much clearer indication of how close he really is to the division’s elite.
Dalton Smith vs Alberto Puello – 24 October
Dalton Smith then gets his first world-title defence in front of a Sheffield crowd.
The WBC super-lightweight champion faces mandatory challenger Alberto Puello at the Utilita Arena on 24 October, after their originally planned meeting was rearranged. Matchroom has confirmed DAZN coverage.
Date: Saturday 24 October
UK time: TBC
Venue: Utilita Arena Sheffield
UK coverage: DAZN
Smith has spent years building towards a major Sheffield world-title night. October gives him exactly that.
Where Can You Watch Boxing in the UK in 2026?
There is no single UK broadcaster carrying every major fight.
DAZN remains heavily involved across British and international boxing, with cards from Matchroom, Queensberry and PBC appearing on the platform. Some fights are part of the normal subscription, while others are sold separately as pay-per-view events.
Sky Sports also remains active, including Mayer vs Cameron in Birmingham on 29 August.
Some one-off events use completely different platforms. Serrano vs Manzur, for example, is being streamed through TikTok LIVE rather than a traditional boxing broadcaster.
Always check the individual event before fight night, particularly with US cards where UK rights can differ from the American broadcaster.
What Time Do Boxing Fights Start in the UK?
For British cards, the main event will usually land somewhere around 10pm to 11pm BST, although there is no fixed rule.
American boxing is where things get painful.
Las Vegas and New York main events commonly take place between roughly 3am and 5am UK time, depending on the broadcast start and how quickly the undercard moves.
That is why we list three different times where possible:
- the start of the card
- the start of the main broadcast
- the expected main-event ring walks
Ring walks are always approximate. Three early knockouts can move the headline fight forward considerably, while a run of full-distance bouts can delay it.
Why Does the Boxing Schedule Change So Often?
Boxing is unusually difficult to calendar months in advance.
Injuries happen. Mandatory challengers are ordered. Venues move. Broadcasters change plans. Fighters miss weight or withdraw, and sanctioning bodies can alter title situations between the announcement and fight night.
The Liddard-Morello card is a good example. It was originally announced for York Hall before being moved to the Copper Box only a little over a week before the fight.
We’ll therefore keep this schedule focused on confirmed fights, rather than padding it with negotiations and rumours.
If the alphabet belts are the bit that causes the confusion, our guide to boxing’s governing bodies explains how the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO fit into the title picture.
Your 2026 Boxing Calendar
There is plenty still to come before the end of the year.
Romero-Lopez and Liddard-Morello take over this weekend, before Itauma gets his first heavyweight world-title opportunity and Mayer meets Cameron on a packed 29 August.
September then belongs to some of the biggest British and Irish names in the sport. Katie Taylor says goodbye at Croke Park, Conor Benn heads to Las Vegas for Garcia and Pat Brown gets his major Manchester home fight.
October brings Whittaker and Smith back into the spotlight, with further cards certain to be added as promoters finalise the closing months of 2026.
We’ll keep this boxing schedule updated with new fights, UK start times and confirmed broadcast details as they are announced.
