How to Stream UFC Free

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) was one of the first sports to fully embrace the digital streaming model. Today, the UFC is almost entirely a digital product.

The ESPN+ Ecosystem (USA)

  • UFC Fight Nights: These events (usually on Saturdays) stream exclusively on ESPN+. They are included in the monthly subscription.
  • Pay-Per-View: To watch a major numbered card (e.g., UFC 300), you must have an active ESPN+ subscription and purchase the PPV event separately.

UFC Fight Pass

UFC Fight Pass holds the world's largest fight library. For live viewing, it is the place to watch 'Early Prelims'—the first few fights of the night before the ESPN broadcast begins.
