""The partnership with Paramount has already been incredible and it just keeps getting bigger and better," said UFC President and CEO Dana White, quoted in a press release issued Tuesday. "They are now taking on new territories like Latin America and Australia and this thing is just going to continue to grow. It just shows you how aggressive they are with this business, and I love it. I can't wait to continue working together and building the next generation of talent all over the world.""
"On Tuesday, promotion officials announced the expansion of their upcoming broadcast deal with streaming service Paramount+, which will see all UFC Fight Nights and numbered events air on the platform with a basic subscription, no PPV fee required. Kicking off in the U.S. in 2026, the deal will now cover Australia, Latin America, and Brazil as well. The UFC had spent roughly two decades on Globo in Brazil prior to jumping to Band in 2023."
Paramount+ will carry all UFC Fight Nights and numbered events on a basic subscription in the U.S., Australia, Latin America and Brazil, eliminating PPV fees for subscribers beginning in 2026. The expanded agreement will run seven years in the new territories, matching Paramount's U.S. commitment. The U.S. component of the partnership is worth $1.1 billion annually. UFC previously aired in Brazil on Globo for roughly two decades, moved to Band in 2023 before that partnership ended in 2024, and shifted content to UFC Fight Pass. PPV events were previously available on Foxtel and Kayo in Australia. Existing rights in the U.K. and Canada remain under other deals.
