when will ufc be on paramount

The UFC will start airing exclusively on Paramount+ in the United States beginning January 1, 2026. This new seven-year deal means that all UFC events, including 13 marquee numbered events and 30 Fight Nights annually, will be available on Paramount's streaming platform, with some major events simulcast on CBS. This move also marks the end of the UFC's traditional pay-per-view model in the U.S., making UFC content more accessible and affordable for fans via Paramount+ subscription.
