Promotion confirms 6.30pm Bangkok start is permanent as ONE Friday Fights 138 expands to 14 boutsListen to this articleONE Friday Fights 138 will begin at a new start time of 6.30pm in Bangkok on January 16 at Lumpinee StadiumONE Championship has brought forward the start time of its Friday Fights series to 6.30pm local time in Bangkok, marking a structural shift to the promotion’s weekly Lumpinee Stadium shows as 2026’s schedule kicks off. The move coincides with a temporary expansion of the fight card, with Friday’s show featuring 14 bouts instead of the usual 12. While the earlier start time is set to be permanent, future events will not necessarily remain at 14 fights, the Bangkok Post understands. Friday’s event will be broadcast live in Thailand on Channel 7HD, but will still start at 8.30pm as usual, however. The card continues ONE’s established Friday Fights formula: emerging Thai talent matched with international prospects across Muay Thai, kickboxing and MMA, with contracts and main-roster opportunities often on the line.
