Triller TV (stylized as TrillerTV and marketed as TrillerTV powered by FITE), formerly known as FITE, is a Bulgarian-based[2] American digital video streaming service owned by Triller, Inc.
Triller TV is dedicated to combat sports-related programming (including boxing, kickboxing, mixed martial arts, professional wrestling, and submission grappling). The service distributes free-to-air content, pay-per-view events, and SVOD packages.[1] As of December 2023, the service has over 8 million registered users worldwide.[5]
Notable wrestling content available on Triller TV has included NWA All Access from the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA),[6][7] AEW Plus from All Elite Wrestling (AEW),[8] and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA)'s own streaming service TNA+, among other subscription packages.[9]
Founded in 2012, Flipps Media and their namesake app focused on online streaming content, including entertainment and sporting events.[2] On January 4, 2015, Flipps streamed Global Force Wrestling's presentation of New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Wrestle Kingdom 9 event.[10]
On February 9, 2016, Flipps Media launched FITE (marketed as FITE TV),[11] a dedicated combat sports-oriented streaming platform.[4]
In April 2020, a new monthly subscription option called FITE+ was launched, including access to live pay-per-view events and back catalogues of various combat sports promotions.[12]
In October 2020, FITE began adding coverage of soccer events, acquiring rights to CONMEBOL qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[13][14]
On April 14, 2021, Triller, Inc acquired the service for an undisclosed amount, ahead of the first Triller Fight Club event, featuring the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren boxing match.[15]
In 2021, FITE began streaming professional grappling events after Third Coast Grappling moved to the platform from FloGrappling.[16] In January 2023, it was announced that the North American-based professional grappling promotion Fight 2 Win was leaving FloGrappling and had signed an exclusive two-year deal with FITE.[17]
In February 2023, FITE announced that all Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) events would be included with FITE+.[18] Previous BKFC events had been offered as standalone pay-per-view events on the service. A majority stake in the promotion was acquired by Triller the previous year.[19]
On May 2, 2023, FITE announced a new partnership with Major League Wrestling (MLW) to air live events through FITE+, with its first event being MLW Never Say Never on July 8 of that year.[20]
On June 30, 2023, Colosseum Tournament was relaunched on FITE after a four-year hiatus.[21]
In December 2023, FITE was rebranded as Triller TV to closer align the service with its parent company.[5][22]
