The UFC has officially embarked on a new chapter with its partnership with CBS and Paramount+, offering fans an unparalleled access to the world’s premier MMA organization. As of this Friday, the UFC library is live on Paramount+, and it’s a treasure trove of content that promises to keep fans engaged and entertained.
In 2026, Paramount+ will broadcast all 13 numbered events and 30 Fight Night events, totaling approximately 43 live events, barring any schedule changes. Several of these events will also be simulcast on CBS, making it easier for fans to catch the action. The platform is designed to offer more than just the biggest fights; it’s a comprehensive hub for all things UFC, much like the WWE Network.
Navigating the platform, fans will find various portals on the landing page, categorized by decade, starting from the late 90s and early 2000s. Events are also divided into numbered events and Fight Nights, making it easier for users to find specific matches. However, as of the first day of this new deal, not all full events are available. For numbered events, only the main card fights are accessible, and for Fight Nights, only the main events are currently available.
For fans looking to familiarize themselves with upcoming fighters, the portal features prominent sections highlighting the biggest and latest fights from marquee fighters. For instance, the service currently showcases fights from Paddy Pimblett, Amanda Nunes, and others from the upcoming UFC 324 event later this month.
A significant difference from the previous iteration is the inclusion of both current champions and legends sections. Fans can easily find fights from current title holders like Khamzat Chimaev, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Israel Adesanya, as well as notable fighters from the past.
The service also hosts ancillary UFC content apart from fights. The library includes old UFC Countdown episodes and the popular UFC Embedded series, which is commonly found on YouTube during the week of numbered events.
With the end of pay-per-view events, the cost of accessing UFC content has significantly decreased. The entire UFC library and access to live events are available on both tiers of the service. The Essential tier is priced at $7.99/month or $59.99/year, while the Premium tier (without ads) is $12.99/month or $119.99/year.
As the UFC continues to evolve, this partnership with Paramount+ promises to bring the thrill of MMA to a wider audience, offering a seamless and comprehensive viewing experience.
