How to Watch UFC on LG Smart TV
Last updated February 22, 2022
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fights can be seen through a subscription alone, while others are pay-per-view (PPV) fights that need to be purchased separately, on top of the subscription. Since UFC matches are some of the most popular sporting events in the world and millions of fans watch them every time their favorite fighters enter the arena, UFC content is available on a lot of devices considering its popularity, including iOS, Android, consoles, smart TVs, and streaming devices, so let's see how to watch UFC on LG Smart TV.
Where to Watch UFC
You can watch UFC fights through the ESPN+ platform or through the UFC Fight Pass service.
UFC Fights on ESPN+
Things are pretty simple if you are a UFC enthusiast and want to watch your favorite Fight Nights live - all you need to do is to subscribe to ESPN+. Since UFC Fight Nights are not pay-per-view events, nothing more is required. You can either go for the monthly plan, which costs $6.99 per month or the yearly plan for a better price overall and pay $69.99 per year.

You can go for The Disney Bundle if you want more than the standalone ESPN+ subscription, which bundles ESPN+, Hulu, and Disney+ under a single deal. It costs $13.99 per month with ad-supported Hulu or $19.99 with Hulu No Ads, and you can save 25% compared to the monthly cost of subscribing separately to each of these three services if you choose to go this subscription. If you're also interested in the PPV events, read below.

- New customers can buy their first UFC PPV event through a special deal. So if you're interested in watching the latest UFC PPV event and don't already have an ESPN Plus subscription, you can save over 25% by purchasing the UFC PPV event access bundled with the annual ESPN+ plan for $99.98 (then $69.99 per year after the first year) or a UFC PPV event bundled with The Disney Bundle for $88.98 (then $13.99 per month).
- Existing ESPN Plus subscribers need to pay a one-time access fee on top of the subscription in order to see a UFC pay-per-view match. You can purchase the latest UFC PPV event live in HD for $74.99. The other option would be to upgrade from a monthly ESPN+ subscription to an annual one and then take advantage of the deal mentioned above by choosing "Upgrade and buy" while logged in..Â
ESPN+ is the exclusive streaming partner of UFC. All UFC Pay-Per-View events are broadcasted only on ESPN+. To Purchase UFC PPV events, subscribe to ESPN+ today.
We should mention that an ESPN+ subscription only allows you to watch the Main Card of a UFC PPV event. So, if you want to see all the bouts, you can go for the UFC Fight Pass subscription. This service offers access to the Early Prelims from the biggest UFC pay-per-view cards along with over 200 live events from promotions such as Invicta FC, GLORY Kickboxing, QUINTET (Team Submission Grappling), Eddie Bravo Invitational, Polaris, and many more for $9.99 per month or $95.99 per year.
How to Watch UFC on LG Smart TV
Right now, there is no ESPN native app for LG Smart TV (LG Smart TVs running webOS), so you cannot watch UFC using this app on your TV. However, you can watch UFC on LG Smart TV either through the UFC app or use AirPlay to cast content to the TV.

- Install the ESPN app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Once the installation process is complete, log in with the credentials you used for subscribing to the ESPN+ service.
