Rumored UFC Fight Pass

[TCE]

So this new TV deal in the US, has every fight going forward on a subscription, no more PPV's in America.

So what happens to Fight Pass?

I live in the UK and Fight Pass is fucking brilliant for us. We're still stuck on TNT sports (cough *dodgy firestick* cough), but getting rid of Fight Pass would suck.

And CW, LFA, etc. that rely on Fight Pass for their events, what happens to them?

I think for the majority of the world everything stays the same

I was a bit concerned when I found out that LFA isn't renewing with Fight Pass but since then a few other promotions have signed new deals so it seems it's still gonna be around although I'm still disappointed LFA won't be on it.

No more LFA? That's the feeder league to the UFC. That sucks. But good to hear other promotions are staying so Fight Pass is staying.

Fight Pass is intended to serve international market. Why would it have anything to do with the Paramount deal which is US-only?

It's a question I asked.

So everyone else still has to pay for PPVs?


Anyone got a source for that?

My guess:

It will be phased out everywhere that UFC is going to be on Paramount+. It already is shutting down in Brazil at the end of the year.

UFC will eventually be on Paramount+ in every region, but they have to wait for existing deals to expire. Until then, Fight Pass will stay active in those places.

AI Overview



With the major 2026 Paramount deal,
UFC Fight Pass will significantly change as all live UFC events (numbered shows & Fight Nights) move to Paramount+, ending the PPV era in the US, though Fight Pass will likely focus more on its massive on-demand library and international content, potentially with some regional promotions shifting or disappearing, while live UFC shifts to a subscription-first model.
