Mayweather vs. Pacquiao II streams live on Netflix on Saturday, September 19, 2026, and it costs nothing beyond your regular subscription. The main card opens at roughly 8:00 PM ET (5:00 PM PT) from the Sphere in Las Vegas, and the main-event ring walks are expected about three to three and a half hours later, landing the headline bout late in the evening on the East Coast.
Here is everything you need to stream the rematch in the United States: where it lives, what time it starts, what it costs, and how to make sure the picture holds up on fight night.
Where to watch: Netflix, and nowhere else
The fight is a Netflix live event, streaming exclusively on the service in the U.S. and worldwide. There is no separate pay-per-view fee, no add-on channel, and no third-party app to buy. If you can open Netflix, you can watch the fight.
That is the same model Netflix used for its previous combat-sports nights, and it is the whole point of the strategy: turn a bout that would once have cost $80 or more on pay-per-view into something included with a subscription tens of millions of U.S. households already have.
Start time on September 19th
Netflix and the promotion have set the running order around a late-night headliner. Here is how the evening is expected to unfold in both U.S. time zones:
| Segment | Eastern (ET) | Pacific (PT) |
|---|---|---|
| Main card begins | ~8:00 PM | ~5:00 PM |
| Main-event ring walks (approx.) | ~11:00–11:30 PM | ~8:00–8:30 PM |
Ring-walk times always move with how quickly the undercard finishes, so treat the late window as a target rather than a promise. If you only care about Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, plan to be in front of a screen by 10:30 PM ET and you will not miss the walk-in.
What it costs
Nothing extra. Every Netflix plan carries the fight at no additional charge, including the ad-supported tier, which remains the cheapest way to get in the door if you are not already a subscriber. There is no premium sports package to unlock and no one-time event fee. Your existing login is your ticket.
How to watch without the stream letting you down
Live events stress a connection in a way that on-demand shows do not, and Netflix’s earlier live cards had rocky moments. A few steps stack the odds in your favor:
- Watch on the newest device you own. Recent smart TVs, an Apple TV 4K, a current Roku or Fire TV, or a game console handle a live 4K feed far better than an aging streaming stick.
- Use a wired Ethernet connection if you can, or sit close to the router if you cannot.
- Restart the Netflix app before the main card so you are not fighting a stale session when traffic peaks.
- If the picture stutters at ring walks — the busiest moment — drop to a lower resolution manually rather than letting the app buffer.
The Sphere makes this more than a rematch
This is the first boxing match ever staged inside the Sphere, the wraparound LED venue on the Las Vegas Strip. Netflix has said it will lean on the building’s technology to build a broadcast that looks unlike anything boxing has produced before, which is a large part of why the event is being sold as a spectacle rather than a straight sporting contest.
It is also the first time the two men have shared a ring since their 2015 “Fight of the Century,” a bout that generated more than $600 million and ended in a unanimous-decision win for Mayweather. That night is still the most lucrative fight in the sport’s history.
The fighters
Mayweather, nicknamed “Money,” retired in 2017 with a perfect 50–0 professional record and 15 world titles across five weight classes. Pacquiao, the only boxer to win world titles in eight divisions, carries a 62–8–3 career ledger and has held belts across four different decades, all while serving a term as a senator in the Philippines and pursuing a music career on the side.
The undercard and any exhibition elements were still being finalized close to fight week; whatever the final sheet looks like, it streams on the same Netflix feed at no extra cost, so there is no separate card to hunt down.
