Paramount and the UFC have announced a seven-year extension of their partnership, securing UFC media rights for Paramount+ in Latin America and Australia starting next year. This is in addition to Paramount’s previously announced seven-year deal with the UFC in the United States, 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 continues to get bigger and better,” UFC President and CEO Dana White said in a statement. “They’re now going into new territories like Latin America and Australia and this thing is going to continue to grow. It shows how aggressive they are in this industry, and I love it. I look forward to continuing to work together and building the next generation of talent around the world.”
Cindy Holland, president of direct-to-consumer at Paramount, added: “Bringing premium UFC programming to audiences globally remains a top priority for Paramount. We are excited to expand the historic offering of UFC content for Paramount+ subscribers across all plans for more passionate and engaged fans around the world.”
UFC fans across Latin America, including Brazil, will be able to stream 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 prelims for all marquee numbered events.
Details on the first UFC events to stream live on Paramount+ in the United States, Latin America and Australia will be announced in the coming weeks.
