Paramount+ and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) have officially announced an expanded global partnership that will bring exclusive UFC streaming rights to Latin America and Australia beginning in 2026. The new multi-year media rights deal marks a major step in Paramount+’s international sports expansion, ensuring that fans in key regions will be able to stream live UFC Fight Nights, main cards, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content directly on Paramount+.
This expanded agreement gives UFC fans in Latin America and Australia unprecedented access to live events and on-demand coverage through Paramount+. Starting in 2026, subscribers will be able to stream UFC numbered events, Fight Nights, and original UFC programming as part of the platform’s growing lineup of global sports content. The move follows Paramount+’s recent international sports rights deals, further positioning the service as a destination for live mixed martial arts, soccer, and premium entertainment across multiple regions.
With this expanded partnership, Paramount+ strengthens its position as a global home for premium sports streaming. The inclusion of UFC events across Latin America and Australia in 2026 underscores the platform’s commitment to delivering world-class live content to international audiences. As UFC continues its worldwide growth, this deal aligns with Paramount’s broader strategy to bring more high-impact sports, originals, and live events to subscribers around the world. Fans can stay tuned for additional announcements on UFC on Paramount+ as the 2026 launch approaches.
“Delivering premium UFC programming to audiences on a global scale remains a top priority for Paramount,” said Cindy Holland, Chair of Direct-To-Consumer, Paramount. “We are thrilled to expand upon the historic offering of UFC content for Paramount+ subscribers across all plans to more passionate and engaged fans around the world.”
UFC fans across Latin America, including Brazil, will have unprecedented access to every moment of the action, with all 13 marquee numbered events and 30 UFC Fight Nights televised live, at no additional cost to Paramount+ subscribers. This expansion positions Paramount+ as the premier destination for UFC fans in the region and significantly increases the value proposition for subscribers by bringing together the sport’s most anticipated events in one place. Today, Paramount+ has further solidified its position as a leading platform for world-class sports and entertainment in Latin America.
Paramount+ Australia is also stepping into the Octagon®. As part of its expanded sports offering, the fastest-growing major streaming service in the country is bringing fans a great lineup of UFC content—including all 30 UFC Fight Nights, as well as the prelims for all marquee UFC numbered events. This strategic move brings two powerhouse live sports programs under one roof and supercharges the sports’ experience across Paramount+ in the region.
This expanded partnership underscores the commitment of Paramount+ to broaden its diverse offering of high-quality TV series, blockbuster movies, most-watched reality, and favorite kids’ content to global audiences through one of the world’s most dynamic and influential sports franchises.
Details on the first UFC events to stream live on Paramount+ in the U.S., Latin America and Australia, will be announced in coming weeks.
