What time is the Canelo Crawford fight?

What time does the main event start?

The main card is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET on Saturday, September 13, 2025, according to ESPN (sports news outlet). DAZN (sports broadcaster) reports the headline bout ring walks are expected at 11:30 p.m. ET (8:30 p.m. PT).

What time is Canelo vs. Crawford GMT?

For viewers in the UK and Europe, the main event ring walks translate to roughly 4:30 a.m. BST on Sunday, September 14 (DAZN). The main card starts at 1:00 a.m. BST.

What time do the ring walks begin?

The official ring walk time is listed as 11 p.m. ET, though DAZN notes that fight times were not officially confirmed at the time of publication. ESPN published its guide on the evening of Sept. 13, suggesting the 11 p.m. ET estimate held true.

The upshot

European fans face a very late night: the main event hits UK screens after 4 a.m. — plan your alarm accordingly, because the replay won’t be available until after the live broadcast ends.

Bottom line: The Canelo vs. Crawford fight started its main card at 8 p.m. ET on Sept. 13. For UK viewers, that’s 1 a.m. BST. Ring walks arrived around 11:30 p.m. ET / 4:30 a.m. BST. Casual fans should set a reminder for the main event; die‑hards shouldn’t miss the undercard beginning at 8 p.m. ET.

Will Canelo vs. Crawford be on Netflix?

Is the fight available on other streaming services?

No. The bout streamed live exclusively on Netflix globally, with no pay-per-view option. Netflix Tudum (official platform) confirmed the event was “streaming live only on Netflix across the globe.” ESPN echoed that Netflix was the sole live carrier.

Do I need a Netflix subscription to watch?

Yes. An active Netflix subscription is required. Coverage began at 3:30 p.m. ET on Sept. 13, with the Netflix Tudum pre‑fight show starting at 5:30 p.m. ET (ESPN).

Why this matters

Netflix skipped the traditional PPV model entirely. For US fight fans accustomed to paying $80–$100 per event, the flat subscription cost changes the math. But for Netflix, the gamble is simple: can a single fight drive enough new sign‑ups to justify the rights fee?

How to watch Canelo vs. Crawford?

How to watch on Netflix?

Open the Netflix app on any supported device and navigate to the live event. No extra code or payment beyond your subscription. Netflix Tudum provided a dedicated page with countdown timers and fight‑week content.

What devices support Netflix live streaming?

Smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Sony), streaming devices (Roku, Apple TV, Fire Stick, Chromecast), game consoles (PS5, Xbox), and mobile apps (iOS, Android) all support live streaming (ESPN).

Is the fight available on demand after?

Yes. Netflix confirmed the replay will be available on the platform after the live event ends (Netflix Tudum). You won’t need to stay up until 4 a.m. if you’re in the UK.

Bottom line: Only one way to watch live: a Netflix subscription on a compatible device. No PPV, no cable. Casual viewers: a replay is waiting. Cord‑cutters: this is the new normal.

Who won, Canelo or Crawford?

What was the final decision?

Terence Crawford defeated Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez by unanimous decision after 12 rounds. The official scores were 116-112, 115-113, and 115-113, according to Netflix Tudum (official platform).

Did Canelo win by knockout?

No. Crawford controlled the distance and out‑pointed Álvarez over the full 12 rounds. No knockdowns were reported.

What was the scorecard?

All three judges scored it for Crawford: two had it 115-113, one had it 116-112. The result is also recorded on Wikipedia (encyclopedic reference), which notes the bout was the first Zuffa Boxing event promoted by Dana White under TKO.

The paradox

Crawford entered with a 42-0 record; Canelo with 62-3-2. The undefeated challenger beat the face of boxing in his own weight class. That result reshuffles pound‑for‑pound rankings overnight and puts Crawford in the driver’s seat for a legacy run.

When is the Canelo vs. Crawford rematch?

Has a rematch been confirmed?

No. As of the week after the fight, no rematch has been officially announced. Promoters have not commented on a second fight (ESPN).

What are the odds for a rematch?
