Professional Fighters League will spend its summer in sunny South Florida.

The mixed martial arts league told The Post it will hold its trio of playoff events at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla., on Aug. 13, 19 and 27.

“We are excited to bring the intense playoff atmosphere that only the PFL can provide to Hard Rock Live this August,” PFL CEO Peter Murray said in a statement provided to The Post. “Every fighter has the chance to become a world champion and bank the $1 million top prize that comes with it. Let’s get ready to crown the champions!”

The news comes days ahead of the start of the PFL regular season’s second leg, with PFL 4 on tap for Thursday night at Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, N.J., followed the next two weeks by the final weekly regular-season events. The full six-event regular season is being held in a “bubble” setup at the Jersey Shore due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the first leg’s three events having taken place in April and May.
