Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua is officially announced for December 11, 2026 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, with a global live stream on Netflix. Netflix says all members will be able to watch with no additional charge for the event. The full fight card and the official schedule, however, have not yet been published.
Updated September 28, 2026: on the official pages consulted, the fight remains scheduled for December. At the same time, the stadium says licensing steps still need to be completed, while recent public comments revealed disagreements over the promotional structure. This does not amount to a cancellation, but it makes it important to separate confirmed information from matters that are still unresolved.

When and where Fury vs Joshua will take place
The fight was announced for Friday, December 11, 2026 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff. It will be the first professional meeting between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, two former heavyweight world champions who never faced each other professionally despite years of negotiations and speculation.
The Cardiff stadium also confirmed the event and said the main fight is planned for the early hours of the local morning after a full night of boxing. That detail helps explain why the event is billed for December 11 even though the headline bout could extend into the early local hours of December 12.
The key point is that Netflix has not yet announced the exact time. Any ring-walk time or conversion to another time zone should therefore be treated as provisional until the official schedule is published.
How to watch Fury vs Joshua on Netflix
According to Netflix, Fury vs Joshua will stream live globally to all members with no separate charge for the event. Under the announced model, viewers do not need to purchase a separate pay-per-view inside the platform.
The official event page is already available on Netflix, but the start time was not included in the announcement consulted. Viewers outside the United Kingdom should wait for the official schedule before relying on a precise local-time conversion.
The fight card has not yet been fully announced
Netflix describes the undercard as a lineup that will include marquee fighters from around the world, but it has not published the matchups. Names appearing in rumors, social media posts or reports should not be treated as confirmed additions until they are announced by the organizer or platform.
This remains one of the main open items. In addition to the preliminary bouts, the full running order and the official timing of each part of the broadcast are still missing.
The September 30 press conference is the next announced milestone
Fury and Joshua are scheduled to take part in a press conference on September 30. Netflix presented the appearance as part of the fight launch and said more details would be shared later.
The press conference may clarify promotional matters and introduce new event information, but until that happens it would be inaccurate to fill the gaps with predictions. As of September 28, the documented facts are the announced date, the stadium, the Netflix broadcast and the scheduled press conference.
Why there is still a caveat around the fight status
The announcement is official and the event remains listed by Netflix and Matchroom for December 11. At the same time, two relevant caveats remain.
The first is administrative: Principality Stadium said some arrangements with organizers and local authorities still need to be finalized and that the event remains subject to the required license.
The second is promotional: after the fight was confirmed, The Ring published comments from Dana White saying he did not know whether Fury and Joshua would ultimately fight on December 11, amid disagreements over the event promotion. That statement introduces uncertainty, but it does not replace the official announcements and is not, by itself, a cancellation.
The most precise wording on September 28 is therefore: Fury vs Joshua is officially scheduled for December 11 in Cardiff and remains listed on event pages, but licensing and promotional-organization issues have not been fully resolved in public.
What still needs to be announced before Fury vs Joshua
- the complete undercard;
- the official broadcast start time and main-event time;
- the running order for the night;
- final ticketing and event-operation details when officially released;
- completion of the licensing steps cited by the stadium;
- a stable public definition of the promotional structure if the recent disagreements continue.
Until those points are announced, the safest reference for viewers is the confirmed core information: December 11, 2026, Principality Stadium in Cardiff and a global live stream on Netflix.
