Netflix announced on October 19, 2026 that it will exclusively livestream La Velada del Año, the creator-led boxing and entertainment event organized by Ibai Llanos, for its 2027, 2028 and 2029 editions. The deal is a future distribution arrangement, not confirmation that the next event has already taken place.
What is La Velada del Año?
The Spanish-language event combines boxing matches between online personalities with major music performances. Netflix says its fifth edition in 2025 reached a peak of 9.3 million concurrent viewers. That figure is an event-specific simultaneous-audience peak, not a count of unique viewers across its lifetime.
Why Netflix is investing in creator-led live entertainment
Live events can bring subscribers and audiences together at a specific time, unlike ordinary on-demand television. For La Velada, a global streaming platform may provide distribution beyond its original online audience. The three-year deal also highlights how creator-driven entertainment can intersect with professional media rights.
What viewers should know
Netflix confirmed its planned three-edition exclusivity but individual fight cards, venues, music lineups and local viewing times require later announcements. Claiming specific new artists or box-office revenue before those details are published would be misleading.
