The event marked the promotion's second visit to Newcastle and first since PFL Europe 1 (2023) in March 2023.

At weigh-ins, Dee Begley missed the flyweight limit by 4.3 pounds, while Ayton De Paepe proceeded the bantamweight limit by 1.5 pounds. Consequently, Begley was fined 30% of her purse to her opponent, Paulina Wisniewska, and begin the fight with a point deduction.
