Pro League Network Unveils FAST Channel on Amazon Prime, Plans for Sports Leagues in 2026

Pro League Network (PLN), a sports media and entertainment company producing the next generation of sports, unveils the future of sports entertainment at its (Up)Front Row presentation to brands and media.

In a 30-minute upfront, PLN debuted upcoming seasons for its tentpole series, introduced its new 24/7 streaming home on Amazon Prime, and showcased its unique, creator-led sports engagements that are changing how Gen Z consumers are watching sports.

At (Up)Front Row, PLN Co-Founders Mike Salvaris and Bill Yucatonis showcased the network’s plans for its sports leagues in 2026. Friday Night Fights, the weekly combat sports series, Putt Tour, the wagering-ready pro mini golf and str33t, the streetball-style 3×3 basketball tour, were each announced to return with increased dates, programming, athletes, and more.

Friday Night Fights will return as a consistent year-long competition showcasing a rotation series of Pro League Network’s combat sports like CarJitsu Championship, SlapFIGHT Championship, Coffin Wars, and more.

In 2026, the viral sensation pro mini golf competition Putt Tour is headed to new courses and new cities with even more putters competing throughout the year. Putt Tour blends creator engagements, with a fast, easy-to-understand and wagering-friendly competition.

A highlight of (Up)Front Row was the announcement of str33t’s return. Produced in partnership with Kevin Garnett & Big Ticket Sports, str33t blends the best of competitive play, electric streetball culture, and sports entertainment for a new generation of fans. PLN launched str33t in 2024 at Echo Park, Los Angeles and announced at the upfront that the competition will bring its brand of streetball 3×3 to cities across the country.

“We’ve never been more excited about the future of Pro League Network,” says Co-Founders Mike Salvaris and Bill Yucatonis. “2026 is going to be bigger, louder, and faster with more creators, more live events, more original IP sports, and some brand-led franchises that are going to reshape sports entertainment.”

The company also announced its brand-new home for 24/7 PLN sports — the Pro League Network FAST Channel on Amazon Prime. The PLN FAST Channel will be an always-on destination for exciting new live sports, irreverent and funny studio and lifestyle shows and unforgettable moments from PLN history. The channel will launch in January.

Yucatonis and Salvaris also highlighted PLN’s creator-led sports partnerships. PLN works with creators to bring live sports content directly to the creators’ audiences, providing the thrill and community of live sports to modern fans. The company works with creators to participate in their sports, like when Kai Cenat competed in CarJitsu, produce sports competitions on-site, such as when PLN debuted Chest Chop on T-Pain’s live Twitch channel, and co-stream on their own channels like its summer-long partnership with Joe Bartolozzi during Friday Night Fights.

Beyond its slate of sports, PLN teased new brand-specific partnerships that will bring to life new, unique PLN sports. The company will unveil plans for the new brand-focused, purpose-built sports in the coming weeks.

PLN creates, develops, and scales the next generation of sports. PLN sports are designed as scroll-stopping entertainment purpose-built for wagering, combining unique visuals and creator-led sports with creative formats and elite athletes. The company produces 15 hours of sports programming monthly, as it builds toward its 24/7 network of sports, and its 30 million impressions per week.
