Established in 2019, the Fight Nation Championship (FNC) is a leading mixed martial arts (MMA) organisation in southeastern Europe. With a focus on showcasing the best local and emerging talent, its events are hosted at arenas across the region, including: Arena Zagreb and Arena Pula, in Croatia; Arena Stozice in Ljubljana, Slovenia; and the Beogradska Arena in Belgrade, Serbia.
Each event is broadcast via FNC’s dedicated pay-per-view (PPV) platform, FNC.tv, with coverage additionally distributed via SVOD platform Voyo. Replays of the events are carried by RTL 2 TV in Croatia, which is owned by regional broadcaster Central European Media Enterprises (CME).
