UFC Media Rights Shake-up: Paramount Scores Big

The UFC has locked in a major new media deal — starting in 2026, all its big-events and Fight Nights will move to Paramount+ in a seven-year, ~$7.7 billion contract. This ends the long run with ESPN, which reportedly couldn’t meet UFC’s financial asks. Paramount’s deal will also include some events simulcast on CBS. UFC’s parent company, TKO Group, said they’d talked with lots of networks — Netflix, Amazon, DAZN, etc. — but Paramount came out on top. This is a major shift in how MMA content will be consumed in the U.S.
