In a groundbreaking move for combat sports fans, Paramount+ has acquired the exclusive rights to stream all Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) events in the United States, effective immediately as of August 11, 2025. This landmark deal positions Paramount+ as the go-to platform for UFC’s thrilling mix of mixed martial arts (MMA) action, including pay-per-view events, Fight Nights, and exclusive UFC content.
The agreement marks a significant shift in how American fans access UFC’s high-octane fights, consolidating live events, prelims, and post-fight coverage under one streaming service. Paramount+ will also offer an extensive library of past UFC fights, fighter profiles, and original programming, enhancing the viewing experience for both casual viewers and hardcore MMA enthusiasts.
“We’re thrilled to bring the UFC’s unparalleled energy and excitement to Paramount+ subscribers,” said a Paramount+ spokesperson. “This partnership aligns with our commitment to delivering premium live sports and exclusive content to our audience.”
The deal is expected to boost Paramount+’s subscriber base, capitalizing on UFC’s massive following. Fans can now stream every punch, kick, and submission from anywhere, with added features like multi-angle replays and in-depth fight analytics, available exclusively on the platform.
UFC President Dana White expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “Paramount+ is the perfect home for UFC in the U.S. Their cutting-edge platform will elevate how fans experience our sport, from live events to behind-the-scenes access.”
This move comes as streaming platforms continue to dominate live sports broadcasting, with Paramount+ joining the ranks of services investing heavily in exclusive sports rights. Subscribers can access UFC events as part of their existing Paramount+ subscription, with no additional fees announced at this time.
