PFL 1 (2024)

The PFL 1 mixed martial arts event for the 2024 season of the Professional Fighters League was held on April 4, 2024, at the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas, United States. This marked the first regular-season event of the tournament and included fights in the Women's Flyweight and Heavyweight divisions.

Background
The event marked the promotion's second visit to San Antonio and first since PFL 7 (2023) in August 2023.

The event was headlined by a heavyweight bout between former interim Bellator Heavyweight Champion Valentin Moldavsky and 2022 PFL heavyweight winner Ante Delija.

A trilogy clash between Bellator Women's Flyweight World Champion Liz Carmouche and former champion Juliana Velasquez took place at this event.

Former UFC Women's Flyweight Championship title challenger Taila Santos was expected to face former Bellator Kickboxing Women's Flyweight Champion Denise Kielholtz in a women's flyweight bout. However, a week before the event it was announced that Kielholtz had pulled out and replaced by Ilara Joanne.

On March 26, changes to the fight lineup saw 2021 PFL heavyweight winner Bruno Cappelozza replaced by former WSOF Heavyweight Champion Blagoy Ivanov against Sergei Bilostenniy, and a PFL women's flyweight alternate bout between Kaytlin Neil and Sumiko Inaba removed from the card.

Originally, Daniel James was expected to face Tyrell Fortune in a rematch at the event. However, on the fight week it was announced that Fortune withdrew from the event and was replaced by Marcelo Golm. At weigh-ins, Daniel James came in at 267 lbs, 1 pound over the limit for heavyweight, while Shanna Young weighed in at 128.6 lbs, 2.6 pounds over the flyweight limit. They were fined a percentage of their purses and given a point deduction in the standings.

Standings after event
The PFL points system is based on results of the match. The winner of a fight receives 3 points. If the fight ends in a draw, both fighters will receive 1 point. The bonus for winning a fight in the first, second, or third round is 3 points, 2 points, and 1 point respectively. The bonus for winning in the third round requires a fight be stopped before 4:59 of the third round. No bonus point will be awarded if a fighter wins via decision. For example, if a fighter wins a fight in the first round, then the fighter will receive 6 total points. A decision win will result in three total points. If a fighter misses weight, the opponent (should they comply with weight limits) will receive 3 points due to a walkover victory, regardless of winning or losing the bout; if the non-offending fighter subsequently wins with a stoppage, all bonus points will be awarded.
