Paramount and UFC have announced that they will extend their partnership to seven years, securing UFC’s Paramount+ media rights in Latin America and Australia starting next year. This is in addition to a previously announced seven-year agreement between Paramount and UFC, also starting in 2026, that will see Paramount+ become the exclusive venue for all UFC events in the country.
“Our partnership with Paramount is already great and continues to get even bigger and better,” UFC President and CEO Dana White said in a statement. “They are now venturing into new territories such as Latin America and Australia, and this business will continue to grow. It shows how proactive they are about this business, which I love. I can’t wait to continue working together and developing the next generation of talent around the world.”
Cindy Holland, Chairman of Paramount’s Direct-to-Consumer Division, added, “Delivering premium UFC programming to a global audience remains a top priority for Paramount. We are excited to extend the historic UFC content offering for Paramount+ subscribers to even more passionate and engaged fans around the world across all plans.”
UFC fans across Latin America, including Brazil, can watch all 13 marquee 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” and prelims for all major numbered events.
Details for the first UFC event to be streamed live on Paramount+ in the United States, Latin America and Australia are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
