Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua streams live and exclusively on Netflix on Friday, December 11, 2026, and watching it costs nothing beyond a standard Netflix subscription — there is no pay-per-view fee. The long-awaited all-British heavyweight showdown takes place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, and it will be available to every Netflix member in the United States.
Here is everything you need to know about how to watch Fury vs. Joshua in the U.S.: the platform, the date, the expected start time in ET and PT, and exactly what it costs.
How to watch Fury vs. Joshua in the US
The fight streams only on Netflix. There is no separate broadcaster, no cable package, and no pay-per-view charge: the event is included with any Netflix plan at no additional cost, exactly as the platform has handled its previous live boxing cards. That means you only need an active Netflix account and an internet connection on a supported device — a smart TV, phone, tablet, computer, or streaming stick.
Netflix currently offers three U.S. tiers, and the fight is included on all of them: Standard with ads at $8.99 per month, Standard at $19.99 per month, and Premium at $26.99 per month. Even the cheapest ad-supported plan gets you the full live event.
Fury vs. Joshua start time (ET and PT)
Netflix has not yet announced an official start time for the broadcast. Because the card is staged in Cardiff, the main event ring walks are reported to be planned for the early hours of Saturday morning local UK time in order to suit a worldwide audience, which points to a Friday evening or night slot in the United States — roughly prime time on the East Coast and late afternoon to evening on the West Coast.
Treat those windows as expectations rather than confirmed times. The full running order, including when the preliminary bouts and the main card begin in ET and PT, is usually locked in during fight week, and we will update this guide once Netflix confirms the exact schedule.
Date, venue, and card
The event is set for Friday, December 11, 2026, at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, a venue that seats more than 73,000 people and normally hosts Welsh rugby. A launch press conference was scheduled for September 30th, and Netflix has said the fight will sit on top of a star-studded undercard, with the additional bouts to be announced closer to the date. The card is being promoted collaboratively by Turki Alalshikh’s The Ring and Dana White.
Why this fight matters
Fury and Joshua are the two defining British heavyweights of their generation, and despite a decade of teased matchups, purse disputes, and social-media call-outs, they have never actually met in a professional ring. Both men have held world titles, both have headlined stadiums on their own, and a meeting between them has been one of boxing’s most requested fights for years. Staging it live on a streaming service, rather than behind a traditional pay-per-view paywall, is a large part of why the announcement made headlines well beyond the sport.
The matchup picked up fresh momentum in 2026, when Fury returned to the ring and a heated in-person confrontation between the two fighters turned years of back-and-forth into a signed contract. After so many false starts, the fact that a firm date, a venue, and a streaming home are all now locked in is itself part of the story — and it sets up December 11th as one of the biggest nights on the combat-sports calendar.
Netflix’s push into live sport
Fury vs. Joshua is the latest step in Netflix’s expansion into live events. The platform has already streamed high-profile boxing, weekly professional wrestling, and NFL games on Christmas Day, and it has leaned on the same pitch each time: a marquee live event delivered to its global membership at no extra charge. For U.S. fans, that removes the biggest historical friction point with big fights — the one-off pay-per-view bill that could run past $80 — and replaces it with a subscription many households already have.
