UFC는 Paramount 및 CBS와의 77 억 달러의 획기적인 거래에 동의 한 것으로 알려졌다.

UFC is coming to Paramount+ and CBS in 2026. The company reportedly agreed to an astounding seven-year, $7.7 billion contract with the company, per multiple reports.

Dana White confirmed the move in a post on Instagram, saying it "puts UFC amongst the biggest sports in the world."

His full statement read:

"This historic deal with Paramount and CBS is incredible for UFC fans and our athletes. For the first time ever, fans in the US will have access to all UFC content without a pay-per-view model, making it more affordable and accessible to view the greatest fights on a massive platform. This deal puts UFC amongst the biggest sports in the world. The exposure provided by Paramount and CBS networks under this new structure is a huge win for our athletes and anyone who watches and loves this sport."

White did not confirm the length or value of the reported deal in his post. The reported deal is only for UFC's U.S. rights. Paramount is reportedly interested in buying the company's international rights when they become available, per CNBC.

It's a bold, new step for UFC. Under the new deal, UFC is ditching the pay-per-view model. All UFC events — including numbered shows — will be included as part of a normal subscription with Paramount+, per Ariel Helwani.

Under UFC's previous rights deal, premium events could only be viewed via pay-per-view. Fans looking to watch events under UFC's current rights deal need to own an ESPN+ subscription and pay an additional $79.99 for premium UFC fights. That model will continue through 2025, so any fans who want to watch UFC 319 on Saturday will still need to go through that process.

In 2026, all fans will need to watch UFC events is a subscription to Paramount+. The company is not expected to charge additional fees for fights.
