FITE (promoted as FITE by Triller), formerly known as FITE TV, is an American digital video streaming service dedicated to combat sports-related programming (including boxing, mixed martial arts, and professional wrestling) that launched on May 20, 2012. The service distributes free-to-air content, pay-per-view events, and SVOD packages.[1] As of December 2020, the service has over 4 million registered users worldwide.[2]
Notable content available on FITE has included subscription packages from the National Wrestling Alliance (All Access);[3][4] All Elite Wrestling (AEW Plus);[5] and Impact Wrestling's own streaming service, Impact Plus, among others.[6]
In April 2020, FITE launched the FITE+ monthly service, that includes access to live pay-per-view events and back catalogues of various combat sports promotions.[citation needed]
In October 2020, FITE began adding coverage of soccer events, acquiring rights to CONMEBOL qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[7][8] On April 14, 2021, TrillerNet acquired FITE for an undisclosed amount, ahead of the first Triller Fight Club event, featuring the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren boxing match.[9]
In 2021, FITE began streaming professional grappling events after Third Coast Grappling moved to the platform from FloGrappling.[10] In January 2023, it was announced that the North American-based professional grappling promotion Fight 2 Win was leaving FloGrappling and had signed an exclusive two-year deal with FITE.[11]
In February 2023, FITE announced that all Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) events would be included in its FITE+ subscription service.[12] Previous BKFC events had been offered as pay-per-view events on FITE.
On May 2, 2023, FITE announced a new partnership with Major League Wrestling (MLW) to air live events through its FITE+ subscription, with its first event being Never Say Never on July 8 of that year.[13]
