The prelims are free on YouTube, live at 8 PM ET!




As for the main card, I think the Bellator/Dazn relationship is officially over. It's not on the schedule for tonight. International audiences, good luck.

Great job bellator have a card during the same time Rams vs Patriots is. That won’t lose you guys viewers or anything.

Bellator would be so much more popular if you could actually watch an event, live. Here in the UK it's almost impossible to catch the main card live, prelims normally not a problem . This is with a paid service and IPTV. So infuriating.

Is there a legal way to watch Bellator there? In Mexico i believe there are no options, im not 100% sure if they Bellator is still on Latam cable companies, but at least its free on Youtube, no legit way to watch DAZN/CBS here.

No there used to be, used to be live on channel 5, then moved to spike and since then nothing. It does show replays on sone channel but by that time it's already on Plex. Maybe things will change when they part ways with DAZN.
