How to Watch UFC on TV

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) brings some of the most popular sporting events in the world, with millions of fans watching their favorite fighters clash every time they take place. These fights can be seen through a subscription, but the UFC pay-per-view (PPV) fights need to be purchased separately, on top of the subscription. Considering their popularity, UFC matches are available on a lot of devices and platforms, including iOS, Android, consoles, smart TVs, and streaming devices, so let's see how to watch UFC on TV.

Where to Watch UFC

You can watch UFC matches through the ESPN+ platform or the UFC Fight Pass service.

UFC Fights on ESPN+

The best thing you can do is to subscribe to ESPN+, and this will allow you to watch your favorite Fight Nights live easily. Since UFC Fight Nights are not pay-per-view events, nothing more is required. The ESPN Plus subscription has two options: you can go for the monthly plan for $6.99 per month, or you can select the yearly plan for a better price overall and pay $69.99 per year. If you're also interested in the PPV events, read below.

If you want more than the standalone ESPN+ subscription, you can save 25% compared to the monthly cost of subscribing separately to each of these three services if you choose to bundle ESPN+, Hulu, and Disney+. If you decide to go for The Disney Bundle, it costs $13.99 per month with ad-supported Hulu or $19.99 with Hulu No Ads.

UFC PPV Events on ESPN+:

• 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). You can also get 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, and 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.

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 for $9.99 per month or $95.99 per year, which can be accessed through the UFC app on almost all of the compatible TVs. 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.

Which TVs Are Supported by ESPN+?

• Android TV (Sharp AQUOS, Sony BRAVIA, Mi Box, NVIDIA SHIELD, Nexus Player, Razer Forge TV)
• Amazon Fire TV (Fire TV, Fire TV Cube, Fire TV Stick, Fire TV Edition)
