Friday Night Lights Out is the branding[1] formally used for broadcasts of combat sports on the American cable network Spike (now Paramount Network).

The branding was first announced in January 2015 when, following a similar deal made by NBC, Spike[2][3] announced they would air monthly fight cards by the Haymon Boxing-created "Premier Boxing Champions".[4][5][6]

The branding would eventually be phased out after Spike's deals with PBC and Glory ended, leaving only the network's mixed martial arts coverage.[7]
