Nothing beats a UFC Fight Night. The UFC continues producing some of the year's biggest and best fights by bringing together the world's most skilled and determined mixed martial artists for thrilling battles inside the Octagon.
The UFC’s U.S. broadcast landscape has just changed in a big way. From 2026 onwards, fans will no longer need to buy individual pay-per-views to watch the biggest fight nights on the calendar. Instead, the promotion has agreed on a landmark new media rights deal that moves live UFC action to a single streaming home.
Here’s everything you need to know about where to watch UFC live in the United States, including streaming platforms, pricing, and what’s changing from the old model.

Paramount+ becomes the new home of UFC. From January 2026, UFC events in the United States will stream live on Paramount+, following a historic long-term agreement between UFC’s parent company, TKO, and Paramount.
Under the new deal:
- All numbered UFC events (previously pay-per-view) will stream live on Paramount+
- All UFC Fight Night cards will also be included
- No additional PPV purchase will be required
- Select marquee events will air live on CBS
- UFC original programming and archive content will be available on demand
It represents a major shift away from the old pay-per-view model and makes watching UFC significantly simpler for U.S. fans.

For viewers in the United States, UFC matches will be shown live on Paramount+, which is now the exclusive streaming home of UFC numbered events. Unlike previous years, a separate pay-per-view purchase is not required, as the full card is included as part of a standard subscription. That means fans can tune in to watch the main card, prelims and all the action in one place, making Paramount+ the easiest way to stream UFC live in the U.S.
