The year 2022 was the eighth year in the history of the Rizin Fighting Federation, a mixed martial arts promotion based in Japan.
Rizin events were broadcast through a television agreement with Fuji Television. However, due to several controversies, the promotion would be dropped by the network by May of that year.[1][2] Rizin would since begin broadcasting on events via PPV on their new streaming service, RIZIN STREAM PASS, and various other streaming platforms in Japan.[3]
In North America and Europe, Rizin events were available via PPV on LIVENow.[4] Starting with Super Rizin & Rizin 38 in 2022,[5][6] Integrated Sports would produce English-language PPVs of Rizin events for FITE.[7]
