UFC Pay Per View Events in 2026

US UFC events no longer sell as pay per view. They stream on a Paramount+ subscription.

Updated . Edited by: Ilyass Ben Hakim.

Where to buy

Since 2026, US numbered events and Fight Nights stream on Paramount+. There is no extra per event fee.

Select big cards also air live on CBS. Paramount+ gift cards are sold at many retailers.
