Short answer: Yes, on the sanctioned side of the sport. BKFC is priced by regulated US sportsbooks and by offshore books, and BKFC named FanDuel its official sportsbook in February 2026. Whether you can actually place the bet depends on your state's approved wagering catalog and on whether that particular card got a board at all. The markets are covered in how to bet on BKFC, and which operators carry the promotion in where to bet on BKFC.
The Full Answer
Betting on bare knuckle grew alongside the sport's sanctioning. Offshore books listed BKFC first, because they sit outside the state approval system entirely. Regulated US books followed once gaming regulators began adding the promotion to their approved wagering catalogs. Coverage is now split across both categories, and the difference between them is the difference between having a state regulator to complain to and not having one. Which books fall where is tracked on where to bet on BKFC, and we rank none of them.
Availability moves card by card rather than being switched on permanently. The moneyline is close to universal once a BKFC card is priced at all, while method of victory, round betting and total rounds tend to appear on marquee bouts, post late in fight week, or never post. Ahead of KnuckleMania 6 in February 2026, one published odds table carried moneylines for the main event while the over/under rounds column beside it read "OFF". What each of those markets settles against is explained in how to bet on BKFC.
Two separate approvals decide whether a licensed book may take your action: a state athletic commission sanctions the event, and a state gaming regulator lists the promotion in its wagering catalog. Those are different agencies with different lists, and they diverge in both directions -- see is BKFC betting legal. None of this extends to unsanctioned fights. Backyard and underground promotions have no commission, no catalog entry and no licensed market, which is covered in can you bet on underground fights. Daily fantasy is a separate product under a separate legal theory: bare knuckle DFS.
