Cage Warriors have unveiled the first part of their 2024 event schedule, with seven events set to pack the first five months of the year.

The promotion heads to California to kick off their year at the Sycuan Casino Resort in San Diego for Cage Warriors 166, before heading back to the BEC in Manchester for a two-night double header.

Cage Warriors 167 will be a special stripped-back “Unplugged” event on March 15, before the fans will pack the building the following night for Cage Warriors 168 on March 16. A packed month will then see Cage Warriors return to London for Cage Warriors 169 at the Indigo at The O2 on March 30.

After a hugely successful event at the RDS in Dublin last year, Cage Warriors will return to the venue on April 6 for Cage Warriors 170. Then the cage will hop back across the Irish Sea and land in Glasgow, Scotland on April 20, where the Braehead Arena will play host to Cage Warriors’ first event in Scotland since 2013.

The promotion then heads back across the border for Cage Warriors 172 at the Vertu Motors Arena in Newcastle on May 25.

More events will be added to what looks set to be a jam-packed schedule for the UK promotion.

“2023 was one of the most memorable years in Cage Warriors’ history,” said Cage Warriors President Graham Boylan.

“Sold-out arenas on both sides of the Atlantic, some of the craziest atmospheres in the sport and, most importantly, we’ve continued to provide a huge platform for our athletes to show the world what they’re capable of.

“With one of the biggest and talent-dense rosters in MMA, we’ve got some serious plans to keep our fighters busy and our fans entertained in 2024. Stay tuned, because this is only the beginning!”
