PFL Chicago: Pettis vs. McKee was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Professional Fighters League that took place on April 11, 2026, at the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois, United States.
The event marked the promotion's fourth visit to Chicago and first since PFL 7 (2025) in June 2025.
A bantamweight bout between former Bellator Bantamweight World Champion Sergio Pettis and undefeated prospect Mitchell McKee headlined the event.
At the weigh-ins, two fighters missed weight:
Young and Harris-Moore's bouts proceeded at catchweight. Both fighters were fined 20 percent of their individual purses which went to their opponents Viviane Araújo and Biaggio Ali Walsh respectively.
Before the event started, a middleweight co-main event bout between Jordan Newman and former LFA Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Champion Joshua Silveira was removed from the event after Newman made the last-minute withdrawal due to undisclosed reasons.
