ONE was recently named among the top five major global sports properties for viewership and engagement by a new Nielsen study. Its events represent the full spectrum of martial arts, with world-class athletes representing over 80 countries competing across mixed martial arts (MMA), Muay Thai, kickboxing, submission grappling and other disciplines.
“ONE Championship is thrilled to work with Prime Video, one of the largest premium sports content providers in the world, to bring our live events closer to fans in the United States and Canada,” said Chatri Sityodtong, chairman and CEO of ONE Championship.
“As the world’s largest martial arts organization, we believe our collaboration with Prime Video will allow us to reach a wider North American audience that is hungry for an authentic and differentiated product you simply cannot get with any other organization. We look forward to showcasing the absolute greatest martial artists on the planet, right here in the ONE Championship Circle and on Prime Video.”

Founded in 2011, ONE has quickly established itself as a top player in the industry with a cumulative reach of over 400 million fans, according to Nielsen. In Indonesia, the promoter has broadcast arrangements with NET TV, Kaskus, Vidio and Maxstream.
Headquartered in Singapore, ONE presents martial arts as a symbol of deep-rooted Asian values of integrity, honor and discipline and provides a platform for the biggest martial arts stars to showcase their talents in front of a global audience.
The partnership comes as Prime Video aims to add more live top-tier sports to its growing content stack.
“We are proud to add exclusive coverage of ONE Championship events to our suite of marquee live sports offerings. In addition to offering a full suite of martial arts disciplines, ONE Championship shares our mutual commitment to elevating female athletes, boasting five reigning female world champions,” said Marie Donoghue, vice president of global sports video at Amazon.
