Netflix to Stream Historic Rematch on September 19
Las Vegas is adding another global fight night to its calendar. Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao will meet again on September 19, 2026, at Sphere, with the event streaming live worldwide on Netflix.
More than a decade after their record-setting 2015 showdown, the two Hall of Fame fighters are officially running it back. This marks the first professional boxing match ever staged at Sphere, positioning the event as both a combat sports milestone and a major Las Vegas entertainment moment.
A Rematch Years in the Making
When Mayweather and Pacquiao first fought in 2015 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, the bout generated over 4 million pay-per-view buys and became one of the highest-grossing fights in boxing history. Mayweather earned a unanimous decision victory, preserving his undefeated record.
Now, 11 years later, the rematch is official and sanctioned as a professional contest. Mayweather, now 48, returns to pro competition with his 50-0 record on the line. Pacquiao, 47, recently fought to a draw against Mario Barrios in a closely contested title bout and continues to remain active.
Both fighters are also scheduled for exhibition appearances ahead of September, building additional anticipation before they square off again in Las Vegas.
Sphere Las Vegas: A New Era for Fight Night
Sphere is redefining live entertainment in Las Vegas. Known for immersive visuals and next-generation production capabilities, the venue previously hosted major combat sports events and concerts but has never staged a professional boxing match until now.
For Mayweather vs. Pacquiao 2, fans can expect a technologically advanced presentation layered over traditional championship boxing drama. The pairing of global streaming distribution via Netflix and Sphere’s visual capabilities positions this as one of the most widely viewed fight nights of 2026.
For traveling groups, Sphere’s location near the Strip makes it easy to integrate into a full weekend itinerary of dining, nightlife, and luxury accommodations.
Streaming on Netflix: Global Access, Massive Audience
Netflix continues expanding its footprint in live sports and combat entertainment. Following previous high-profile fight broadcasts, the platform will stream Mayweather vs. Pacquiao 2 globally, making it accessible far beyond the traditional pay-per-view audience.
The first fight shattered records. The rematch now benefits from global streaming infrastructure and expanded international reach, potentially delivering one of the largest live boxing audiences in recent memory.
For Las Vegas visitors, however, being in the building for this event remains the premium experience.
