UFC fights are available through ESPN+ (which holds exclusive US broadcast rights), ESPN broadcast television for Fight Night events, and pay-per-view for numbered events (UFC PPV). ESPN+ is essential for UFC fans — it's the only way to access UFC Fight Pass content, watch Fight Night events live, and purchase PPV events. The UFC also has a library of past fights and UFC Fight Pass for dedicated fans.
ESPN+ is the exclusive US streaming home for UFC. Fight Night events are included with ESPN+. Numbered UFC PPV events require purchasing through ESPN+ at around $79.99 per event. UFC Fight Pass offers an alternative for library content and international events.
UFC PPV events cost $79.99 per event when purchased through ESPN+. An active ESPN+ subscription is required to purchase PPV events. The Disney Bundle (Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+) offers ESPN+ at a lower monthly cost as part of the bundle.
UFC Fight Night events are included free with ESPN+. They typically feature rising contenders and ranked fighters but not title fights. Numbered UFC events (UFC 300, etc.) are PPV events featuring championship bouts and marquee matchups, requiring an additional purchase.
UFC Fight Pass is the UFC's own streaming service ($9.99/mo or $95.88/year) offering access to the full UFC fight library, international events, and some prelims. It does not include live US Fight Night or PPV events — those require ESPN+.
ESPN+ covers all Fight Night events. For PPV events, some bars and restaurants legally broadcast them. The main card typically starts at 10 PM ET, and ESPN shows the early prelims before the ESPN+ prelims begin.
