The boxing match between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford, which will be broadcast live this Saturday, September 13, 2025 marks a milestone in the combat sports industry. This event, which will be broadcast exclusively on Netflix, represents a significant change in a sector that has relied on the pay-per-view (PPV) system for more than half a century. For Netflix, this is a key move, following the successful broadcast of the fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, which attracted 60 million viewers and generated a notable increase in subscribers. Here are the verified details on how to watch the event: start time, enabled devices, and available regions.
Unlike the Paul-Tyson event, which was seen more as a spectacle, this Saturday’s fight pits two of the world’s best boxers in their weight class against each other. Both fights follow a new model: they are broadcast on a streaming platform whose audience far exceeds that of PPV events, which historically generated only a few million purchases. This change eliminates the need for viewers to pay between $50 and $90 for a single event, democratizing access to these elite fights.
This move is not unique to boxing; it is part of a new era in sports broadcasting. The UFC has also followed this trend, signing a multi-million dollar deal with Paramount+ for its biggest fights starting in 2026. Although Netflix has not disclosed how much it paid for the exclusive rights to this event, it is known that negotiations for combat sports broadcasting rights are booming. The Canelo vs. Crawford fight is an example of how streaming services are becoming the new arena for the world’s biggest sports.
The broadcast begins at approximately 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT (8 p.m. in Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador, 9:30 p.m. in Mexico City, 10 p.m. in Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay, and 3 a.m. in Spain).
The preliminaries can be viewed earlier via Tudum or Netflix and YouTube preview programs.
The main event between Canelo and Crawford does not start before midnight in Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay.
If your TV is not compatible, you can connect a streaming device via HDMI, use a console, or mirror your screen from your laptop or mobile device.

No specific information was found on excluded regions or geographic restrictions other than the usual Netflix availability.
