Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua will fight on Friday, December 11, 2026 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. Netflix confirmed the date in its Tudum preview on November 11, and the Netflix Media Center lists the event as a special streaming live globally from the stadium.
For British boxing, this is the fight that has been discussed for years without being made. Both men are former heavyweight champions, both have headlined Netflix cards already, and neither has faced the other professionally.
What is confirmed
- Date: Friday, December 11, 2026.
- Venue: Principality Stadium, Cardiff, Wales.
- Broadcast: live on Netflix globally, included with a Netflix membership at no additional cost.
- Records: Fury 36-2-1 with 25 knockouts, Joshua 30-4 with 27 knockouts, as listed by Netflix.
- Promotion: Netflix names The Ring and Dana White as partners on the event.
What Netflix had not published at the time of writing is a start time. That single missing detail decides whether the fight is an evening in Cardiff and an afternoon in North America, or something later. Do not plan around a time you saw in a social post.
The full card as listed
Netflix’s Tudum preview lists four fights:
- Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua
- Deontay Wilder vs. Jai Opetaia
- Martin Bakole vs. Solomon Adebayo
- Da’Mazion Vanhouter vs. Michael Essomba
Wilder against Opetaia is the bout that gives the undercard real weight: Deontay Wilder is a former heavyweight world champion, and Jai Opetaia is a cruiserweight champion taking a heavyweight fight. Netflix has not published bout order or ringwalk times, so the undercard is a reason to watch the whole card rather than to tune in at a specific hour.
How the time difference actually works
Cardiff is on Greenwich Mean Time in December. A UK evening event lands in the North American afternoon and early evening, which is convenient for viewers on the east coast and awkward for anyone on the west coast who plans to watch live on a Friday. Netflix on-demand replays are not the same thing as a live stream, and rights to replays vary, so if watching live matters, check the start time when Netflix publishes it and set your own reminder.
What “included with your membership” means
Netflix has been adding live events to its standard subscription rather than selling them as separate pay-per-view purchases. That is good value if you already subscribe, and it is not free: the cost is your monthly plan. If you are considering joining for the fight, our breakdown of what each Netflix tier costs and what you actually get covers the features that differ between plans, including the ones that matter for live events and simultaneous streams.
Two practical checks before fight night. First, confirm your plan allows the number of simultaneous streams your household needs, because a big fight is exactly when everyone wants the same screen. Second, test the device you plan to use a few days early. A streaming stick that needs a firmware update minutes before the main event is a self-inflicted problem.
Watching without the nonsense
This fight will attract a large number of unofficial streams promising a free feed. Those sites are the usual mixture of card-harvesting, malware and low-quality re-streams, and they are also the fastest way to miss the knockout while a page reloads. If you are outside the countries where Netflix carries the event, the legitimate answer is a Netflix plan in a region where you actually live, not a workaround.
Netflix has not announced a separate broadcast partner or a cinema showing for this card. If that changes, it will appear on the Netflix Media Center page linked below before it appears anywhere else.
What we did not do
We have not watched a press conference, interviewed either fighter or verified a ringwalk time, because none has been published. Dates, records, venue and card come from Netflix’s own pages, both linked below. Any claim about a title being on the line, a purse, or a start time that is circulating elsewhere has not been confirmed by Netflix and is not repeated here.
