PFL MENA FINALS: ALL OR NOTHING TO BE A PART OF KHOBAR SEASON

Organized by the Shargiya Development Authority in collaboration with Ithra and the Saudi Tourism Authority, Khobar Season 2025 celebrates culture, innovation, and community while reinforcing the Eastern Province’s growing reputation as a premier cultural and sports destination. The Season aims to bring the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) closer together by uniting Saudi, Bahraini, Kuwaiti, Qatari, and Emirati audiences through shared experiences and events that showcase creativity, collaboration, and Saudi hospitality.

The culminating event of this year’s PFL MENA season will take place on December 5th, 2025, at Dhahran Expo in Al Khobar, and will feature championship bouts in the Bantamweight, Featherweight, Lightweight, and Welterweight Divisions. The must-see card will also showcase the best fighters from the Middle East, representing countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain.

The event will continue the strengthened push for regional pride, cross-border connection, and the continued rise of the Kingdom as a global sports hub.

“Khobar is the perfect location for our Finals,” said PFL MENA General Manager, Jerome Mazet. “It sits at the crossroads of the GCC, with Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, the UAE, and Riyadh all just a few hours away, making it the ideal setting for our season finale. Having the PFL MENA FINALS as part of Khobar Season allows us to create a truly memorable experience for fans while continuing to grow the sport of mixed martial arts across the region.”

By combining sport, culture, and community, the partnership between PFL MENA and Khobar Season underscores a shared mission to build lasting connections across the region—and to deliver an unforgettable celebration of Saudi excellence, regional talent, and GCC unity.
