The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) events are diverse, and some can be seen only with a subscription, while others are pay-per-view (PPV) fights that need to be purchased separately on top of that subscription. Millions of fans watch them every time their favorite fighters enter the arena, so the UFC fights are some of the most popular sporting events globally. Hence, UFC matches can be seen on many platforms, including iOS, Android, consoles, smart TVs, and streaming devices, so let's see how to watch UFC on Xfinity X1 and Flex.

Where to Watch UFC

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

UFC Fights on ESPN+

All you need to do is to subscribe to ESPN+, and this will allow you to watch your favorite Fight Nights live. Since UFC Fight Nights are not pay-per-view events, nothing more is required. You can select the monthly plan, which costs $6.99 per month, or you can select the yearly plan for a better price overall and pay $69.99 per year.

You can choose to bundle ESPN+, Hulu, and Disney+ 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 go for The Disney Bundle, which costs $13.99 per month with ad-supported Hulu or $19.99 with Hulu No Ads. If you're also interested in the PPV events, read below.

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 buy a UFC PPV event bundled with The Disney Bundle for $88.98 (then $13.99 per month).

Existing ESPN Plus subscribers who want to see a UFC pay-per-view match need to pay a one-time access fee on top of the subscription in order to do that. 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. 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.

Which Xfinity Devices Are Compatible With the ESPN App?

You can find ESPN+ in the ESPN App on the following Xfinity device models:

You should also know that the following X1 TV Boxes are not compatible with the ESPN app:
