Classic Entertainment & Sports (CES) has announced a new broadcast partnership with New England Sports Network (NESN), the region's flagship home for sports and entertainment. This collaboration unites two of the region’s institutions to deliver world-class boxing and MMA action to millions of fans across New England. The partnership kicks off with  a delayed broadcast of CES' Autumn Classic 2025 from Connecticut's Mohegan Sun Arena. NESN will air the event on November 11th at 10pm EST and continue with CES’s busy fall lineup, including CES MMA 82 - Fight For a Cause 3 from the Historic Park Theater in Cranston, Rhode Island, Boston Harbor Fight Night from Encore Casino in Everett, Massachusetts, and Rhode Wars 5 from the Park Theater. See below for NESN and NESN+ broadcast dates and times.

As part of the agreement, NESN Nation will stream CES' library of its best fights, giving fans the opportunity to relive the early days and defining moments of CES fighters who went on to national and international stardom — including Chad Dawson, Vinny Paz, Peter Manfredo Jr., Charles Rosa, Gary Balletto Sr. and Jr., Jamaine Ortiz, and many more.

“This partnership is a dream come true for New England fight fans, said Jimmy Burchfield Sr., Founder of CES. “For over three decades, CES has built a platform for homegrown fighters to showcase their talent on the biggest stages. Partnering with NESN — a network synonymous with excellence and tradition — allows us to share these incredible athletes and stories with a broader audience than ever before.”
