Paramount+ Extends UFC Rights to Latin America and Australia Starting in 2026

The expansion advances UFC's shift to a single streaming home in key markets, with regional distribution carved out for Australian pay-per-view main cards.

Overview

  • Effective January 1, 2026, Paramount+ will stream UFC across Latin America and Australia under a seven-year expansion that builds on the $7.7 billion U.S. deal.
  • Latin America, including Brazil, will get all 13 numbered events and 30 Fight Nights live on Paramount+ at no additional cost to subscribers.
  • In Australia, Paramount+ will carry all 30 Fight Nights and the prelims for numbered events, while Main Event on Foxtel and Kayo retains exclusive pay-per-view rights to the main cards; select events will also air on Network 10.
  • Financial terms for the Latin America and Australia additions were not disclosed, and the companies will announce the first events to stream on Paramount+ in the coming weeks.
  • Rights in markets such as Canada and the U.K. remain under existing agreements, and UFC Fight Pass continues to provide early prelims and library content.
