If you’re searching for where to watch UFC, or how to watch UFC in 2026, this guide breaks it all down.

Get Started With Paramount+

When and where to watch UFC in 2026

In 2026, you can watch all 12 UFC numbered events, all 30 UFC Fight Nights, and UFC and the White House on Paramount+.

Select UFC numbered events will be simulcast live on CBS, meaning you can catch that action on your TV or device by using cable, satellite, live-TV streaming service, or digital antenna.

UFC event types and how to watch each one

UFC numbered events

A UFC numbered event is, literally, a numbered event, a la, UFC 324, UFC 325, UFC 326, UFC 327, and so on. It is UFC’s marquee event. Its fight card typically features one title bout – maybe more.

There is about one UFC numbered event a month, and, indeed, in 2026, there will be 12 UFC numbered events streaming live and on demand on Paramount+, with select events airing via simulcast on CBS.

Prior to 2026, if you wanted to watch a UFC numbered event, then you might’ve paid $79.99 for access. That’s because back then, and going back to UFC’s earliest years, UFC numbered events were pay-per-view. In the UFC on Paramount+ era, there is no pay-per-view. All UFC numbered events are included with the price of your regular monthly or annual Paramount+ subscription.

UFC Fight Night

UFC Fight Nights are near-weekly events that showcase rising contenders, tough-as-nails veterans, and local talents. In 2026, there will be 30 UFC Fight Nights. As with UFC numbered events, every UFC Fight Night streams live and on demand on Paramount+ with any Paramount+ subscription. There is no extra charge or fee to watch the action.

UFC at the White House

UFC Freedom 250: Topuria vs. Gaethje takes place Sunday, June 14, 2026, at the South Lawn of the White House. The historic, six-fight card, headlined by a lightweight title bout with champ Ilia Topuria going up against interim title holder Justin Gaethje, streams live and on demand in its entirety on Paramount+. Like all other UFC events, UFC at the White House is included with your regular Paramount+ subscription; there is no additional fee to access the event.
