Ibai's next boxing event to stream on Netflix in Spain-wide deal

Ibai Llanos has announced on X that La Velada del Año will be broadcast on Netflix in 2027, 2028 and 2029. The boxing event between content creators is thus making the leap to the streaming platform.

The announcement fits in one line and one image. **Ibai Llanos** posted a terse message on X: «La Velada del Año x Netflix. Historia. 2027 2028 2029». Three consecutive years on the platform, with no further details about dates, venues or fight card. The creator from Biscay thus turns his boxing event between streamers into an annual broadcast product outside Twitch, the home where it was born.

## From Twitch to Netflix

La Velada del Año was born in 2021 as a boxing event between content creators streamed live on Twitch. The first edition was held with no audience and the trinc ones kept growing until they filled venues such as the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys in Barcelona or the Metropolitano in Madrid. The format combines amateur bouts with musical performances and an increasingly television-grade production.

The leap to **Netflix** means taking that model to a platform with global reach. The company has streamed live sports and entertainment events in recent years, and this deal ties it to a phenomenon with a young audience that moves between social media and streaming.

## Three editions and no details

The message sets **2027, 2028 and 2029** as the years of the deal. It does not clarify whether Ibai will keep the simultaneous broadcast on Twitch, or whether the editions will be annual in the same format. There is also no confirmation of venues or participants. The post merely announces the partnership and calls it historic.

The news comes without a press release from either Netflix or Ibai. For now, the only source is the creator's own post on X, which has been racking up interactions since it went out. The parties' terms will have to wait to be spelled out.
