Why is Canelo-Crawford on Netflix? Everything to know for September fight

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez will continue his tradition of fighting on Mexican Independence Day weekend as he enters the ring to face Terence 'Bud' Crawford at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday, September 13.

The historic event, dubbed "The Fight of the Century," will be an exclusive treat for Netflix subscribers. The streaming giant will make this epic battle available at no additional cost to its 300 million-plus subscribers.

This unique arrangement is a result of agreements between Netflix and the event's promoters, including TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of UFC, and Turki Alalshikh, in partnership with the Saudi events company Sela, to promote and broadcast the boxing mega-event.

While this is not Netflix's first foray into boxing, the upcoming Canelo vs. Crawford fight is generating unprecedented buzz. Netflix made history by broadcasting the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight in November 2024, achieving 38 million concurrent streams in the U.S. to become the most streamed sporting event in history. It also streamed the women's boxing trilogy fight, Taylor vs. Serrano 3, in the summer of 2024.
