Paramount and UFC have announced a seven-year expansion of their partnership, securing UFC media rights for Paramount+ in Latin America and Australia starting next year. This adds on to Paramount and UFC’s previously announced seven-year deal in the U.S., also beginning in 2026, making Paramount+ the exclusive home of all UFC events in the country.
“The partnership with Paramount has already been incredible and it just keeps getting bigger and better,” UFC President and CEO Dana White said in a statement. “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.”
Added Cindy Holland, chair of direct-to-consumer at Paramount: “Delivering premium UFC programming to audiences on a global scale remains a top priority for Paramount. We are thrilled to expand upon the historic offering of UFC content for Paramount+ subscribers across all plans to more passionate and engaged fans around the world.”
UFC fans across Latin America, including in Brazil, will be able to televise all 13 marquee numbered events and 30 “UFC Fight Nights” live on Paramount+ at no additional cost to subscribers. Meanwhile, in Australia, Paramount+ will offer all 30 “UFC Fight Nights” as well as the prelims for all marquee numbered events.
Details on the first UFC events to stream live on Paramount+ in the U.S., Latin America and Australia will be announced in the coming weeks.
