In the United States in 2026, stream UFC events on Paramount+ without cable. Under the new U.S. rights agreement, numbered events and Fight Nights are included with a Paramount+ subscription, with no separate pay-per-view event charge announced. You need an active subscription, an internet connection and a compatible device.
How to watch UFC without cable in the U.S.
- Check the current Paramount+ offer. UFC’s 2026 U.S. streaming home is Paramount+. Subscription prices and eligible plan tiers are not specified in UFC’s announcement, so confirm the current offer and event access on Paramount+ before subscribing. UFC’s rights announcement describes the arrangement.
- Choose a compatible way to stream. Use the Paramount+ app on a supported smart TV or streaming device, or cast from a supported phone or tablet. UFC’s device guidance lists Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K, as well as Chromecast and Chromecast-built-in TVs. UFC also lists Chrome browsers as a supported option. Check current Paramount+ compatibility information for your specific model and software.
- Connect to the internet, sign in, and find the event in Paramount+. The agreement also says select numbered events will be simulcast on CBS; check the event listing for its available viewing options.
Do you still have to buy UFC PPV separately?
For U.S. events under the 2026 arrangement, UFC says its premium numbered events move away from the previous pay-per-view model and are available to Paramount+ subscribers at no additional event charge. The agreement covers all 13 numbered events and 30 Fight Nights each year. A separate event purchase is not described as necessary. UFC CEO and President Dana White said the arrangement would give U.S. fans access to UFC content “without a Pay-Per-View model”; that is his characterization of the deal, not an independently measured price comparison.

Which TV setup should you use?
| What you already have | How to watch | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| A compatible smart TV or streaming device | Open the Paramount+ app on that device. | Confirm the model and software are currently supported. |
| Apple TV HD or Apple TV 4K | Use the Paramount+ app on the Apple TV. | UFC lists both models in its device guidance; check current app availability and compatibility. |
| Chromecast or a Chromecast-built-in TV | Cast from a supported iOS or Android device. | Confirm your phone, TV and software are supported. |
| A computer with Chrome | Use the Chrome browser to stream. | Check Paramount+’s current browser requirements. |
Apple TV hardware and Chromecast are examples, not requirements. If your TV already runs a compatible Paramount+ app, you may not need an extra device. A phone or tablet with casting support is another option when the TV supports it.
Why old ESPN+ PPV instructions are outdated
UFC’s 2019 announcement named ESPN+ as the exclusive U.S. PPV provider through 2025 and described separate event charges and streaming through the ESPN app. That was the prior U.S. arrangement, not the access model announced for 2026. Avoid relying on old ESPN+ purchase steps, bundles or prices for current U.S. events. UFC’s 2019 announcement describes that historical setup.
