- The card remains slated for June 14 after Dana White denied reports of a June 26 shift, with matchmaking underway and no bouts officially announced.
- Plans call for an Octagon on the South Lawn with tightly limited attendance of roughly 3,000–5,000, about 1,000 seats reserved for military members, and lawn restoration costs near $700,000.
- Public viewing is being organized at the Ellipse/National Mall, and broadcast plans focus on Paramount+ with discussions about airing portions on CBS; the showcase is expected to feature six to seven fights.
