In a landmark seven-year deal that will change the landscape of combat sports, it was announced on Monday morning that, beginning in 2026, all UFC events will air exclusively on Paramount networks in the United States.
That means 13 marquee numbered events and 30 Fight Nights will air via Paramount’s direct-to-consumer streaming platform, Paramount+, with select numbered events to be simulcast on CBS, allowing Paramount+ subscribers to have access to all premium events at no extra cost, marking a move away from the UFC’s current pay-per-view model in order to bring the fastest growing sport in the world to an even wider audience while reducing costs for fans.
