Joshua vs Fury UK date and time
Fight night is Friday, 11 December 2026. If you are watching in the UK, plan for the main event after midnight, with ringwalks currently estimated at around 1am GMT on Saturday, 12 December.
The event date and the main-event calendar date are different because the headline contest is expected to take place overnight. The estimate is not a guaranteed opening-bell time: the running order and the length of the supporting fights can affect when the boxers appear.
Timing status: the date and venue have been announced. The precise broadcast start time, ringwalks and opening bell have not been confirmed. Checked on 11 November 2026.
Broadcast, undercard and ringwalk times
When checking the Joshua vs Fury start time, look at which part of the evening the listing describes. Coverage starting, the first supporting bout and the main-event ringwalks are separate milestones.
| Milestone | UK date and time | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Official event date | Friday, 11 December 2026 | Announced |
| Netflix broadcast begins | To be confirmed | Awaiting final schedule |
| Undercard begins | To be confirmed | Awaiting final schedule |
| Main-event ringwalks | Around 01:00 GMT, Saturday, 12 December | Reported estimate |
| Opening bell | After the ringwalks and introductions | Exact time unconfirmed |
A listing showing 11 December does not mean the main event starts before midnight in Britain. Equally, the ringwalk estimate should not be presented as the confirmed broadcast start time.
Where is Joshua vs Fury taking place?
The announced place is Principality Stadium, Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom. The fight location is Cardiff, rather than London or a venue in Saudi Arabia.
For viewers in the UK, there is no time-zone adjustment between Cardiff and home. For ticket holders, the estimated ringwalk time is not an arrival time: use the admission details on your ticket and the venue’s final event instructions.
Why do 11 and 12 December both appear?
The official card belongs to Friday, 11 December. Once the UK clock passes midnight, the calendar changes to Saturday, 12 December. A ringwalk at around 1am therefore belongs to Saturday morning, even though the event is promoted under Friday’s date.
Use GMT, not BST, when putting the UK start time into your calendar. A reminder for 1am on Friday would be a day early. Keep the Saturday estimate separate from any reminder for Friday’s undercard coverage.
Where to watch the fight in the UK
Netflix is the announced worldwide broadcaster. The event is included with membership without an additional event charge. A subscription is still required; this is not a free-to-air broadcast.
Check the final programme listing before fight night, and leave time to sign in and check your device. Coverage can begin well before the headline bout. If you are only tuning in for Joshua and Fury, keep an eye on the running order rather than relying on the estimate alone.
