The UFC on Paramount+ is official.
Earlier this year, the UFC announced a deal with Paramount that will see all of its events streamed on the streaming service with a standard Paramount+ subscription, ending the traditional PPV model.
“This historic deal with Paramount and CBS is incredible for UFC fans and our athletes,” said UFC CEO and President Dana White. “For the first time ever, fans in the US will have access to all UFC content without a Pay-Per-View model, making it more affordable and accessible to view the greatest fights on a massive platform. This deal puts UFC amongst the biggest sports in the world. The exposure provided by the Paramount and CBS networks under this new structure is a huge win for our athletes and anyone who watches and loves this sport.”
On Thursday, UFC CEO Dana White announced the first fight card to be streamed on Paramount+ will be headlined by Paddy Pimblett and Justin Gaethje, with Amanda Nunes vs Kayla Harrison being the co-headliner.
