Notable content available on FITE has included subscription packages from the National Wrestling Alliance (All Access);[5][6] All Elite Wrestling (AEW Plus);[7] and Impact Wrestling's own streaming service, Impact Plus, among others.[8]

In April 2020, FITE launched the FITE+ monthly service, that includes access to live pay-per-view events and back catalogues of various combat sports promotions.

In October 2020, FITE began adding coverage of soccer events, acquiring rights to CONMEBOL qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[9][10] On April 14, 2021, TrillerNet acquired FITE for an undisclosed amount, ahead of the first Triller Fight Club event, featuring the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren boxing match.[11]

In 2021, FITE began streaming professional grappling events after Third Coast Grappling moved to the platform from FloGrappling.[12] In January 2023, it was announced that the North American-based professional grappling promotion Fight 2 Win was leaving FloGrappling and had signed an exclusive two-year deal with FITE.[13]

In February 2023, FITE announced that all Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) events would be included in its FITE+ subscription service.[14] Previous BKFC events had been offered as pay-per-view events on FITE.

On May 2, 2023, FITE announced a new partnership with Major League Wrestling (MLW) to air live events through its FITE+ subscription, with its first event being Never Say Never on July 8 of that year.[15]

On 30 June 2023, Colosseum Tournament was relaunched on FITE after a four-year hiatus.[16]
