Frequently asked questions
Where can you watch the UFC?
Broadcast rights change often and have moved between platforms in recent years, and they are different in every country, so check who holds them this season before paying for anything. UFC Fight Pass, the promotion's own service, includes the historical archive and some events, but not always the main numbered cards.
What exactly does UFC Fight Pass include?
The promotion's full historical archive, with thousands of past fights, plus smaller live events and original content. The numbered events, the big ones, are usually sold separately or through the rights holder in each country. That is the most common misunderstanding when subscribing.
What time do the fights start?
The main events run on US time, so the headline fight is a late Saturday night in the United States and lands in the early hours of Sunday across Europe. Platforms offer an on-demand replay the next day, which is how most people watch. The apps let you turn on alerts so you do not stumble on the result first.
Can I follow the fights for free?
Watching live requires a subscription in practically every case. What is free is following along: the UFC app gives you the calendar, results and rankings at no cost, and sports media run written live coverage of fight nights. Official highlights are usually posted on the promotion's channels shortly afterwards.
