Paramount, UFC to expand partnership to Latin America and Australia

Paramount and the UFC have announced a seven-year expansion of their partnership, securing UFC media rights to Paramount+ in Latin America and Australia starting next year. This adds to Paramount and UFC’s previously announced seven-year deal in the US, which also begins in 2026, making Paramount+ the exclusive home for all UFC events in the country.

“The partnership with Paramount has already been amazing, and it just keeps getting bigger and better,” UFC president and CEO Dana White said in a statement. “They are now taking on new territories like Latin America and Australia and this thing is only going to continue to grow. It shows you how aggressive they are in this business, and I love it. I can’t wait to continue working together and building the next generation of talent around the world.”

“Delivering premium UFC programming to audiences on a global scale remains a top priority for Paramount,” added Cindy Holland, President of Direct-to-Consumer, Paramount. “We are thrilled to expand on the historic offering of UFC content to Paramount+ subscribers across all plans to even more passionate and engaged audiences around the world.”

UFC fans across Latin America, including Brazil, will be able to stream all 13 numbered events and 30 “UFC Fight Nights” live on Paramount+ at no additional cost to subscribers. Meanwhile, in Australia, Paramount+ will present all 30 “UFC Fight Nights” as well as prelims for all the big-numbered events.

Details of the first UFC events to be streamed live on Paramount+ in the US, Latin America and Australia will be announced in the coming weeks.
