The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has announced an expanded deal with Paramount, building on their seven-year collaboration.
The new agreement gives fight fans an exciting opportunity to watch all UFC Fight Nights and prelims for marquee numbered events through their Paramount+ subscription, beginning in January 2026.
In addition, fans will have access to selected UFC events on free-to-air television via Network 10. The expansion follows the successful media rights partnership that began in August and aims to position Paramount as the new hub for UFC content in Australia from 2026.
Dana White, UFC President and CEO, reflected on the long-standing relationship with Paramount and the sport’s growing footprint in Australia.
“The partnership with Paramount has already been incredible, and it just keeps getting bigger and better,”
“They are now taking on new territories like Australia, and this is only going to continue to grow. It shows how aggressive they are in this business, and I love it. I can’t wait to keep working together and building the next generation of talent around the world.” White added.
Paramount’s Expanding Reach
The renewed deal underscores Paramount+’s commitment to delivering premium sports content while maintaining its diverse entertainment offering that spans from television series, blockbuster films, to kids programming.
Beverley McGarvey, Head of Streaming at Paramount ANZ and President of Network 10, said the agreement highlights Paramount’s scale and ambition.
“The ability of Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, to negotiate agreements of this scale enables Paramount+ and Network 10 to deliver premium content to Australian audiences. It is a sign of great things to come for our viewers,” McGarvey said.
