UFC Streaming FAQ

Is UFC still pay-per-view in 2026?: No. UFC ended pay-per-view in 2026. Every event is included with a Paramount+ subscription, so there is no separate fee per card the way there was on ESPN+.
How much does it cost to watch UFC now?: Just a Paramount+ subscription, which starts around $8.99 a month and covers every event. That is a big drop from the old model, where a single numbered card ran up to $79.99 on top of an ESPN+ subscription.
Can I watch any UFC events for free?: Yes. Paramount simulcasts select marquee cards free on CBS, which an antenna picks up over the air, and live-TV services that carry CBS run free trials you can use for those cards.
