UFC PPV Price: Plans, Monthly Cost & Price History

For years, the biggest UFC cards in the United States were sold one at a time as pay-per-view events. That model ended in 2026. UFC events now stream on Paramount+, and there is no separate fee for a numbered event. Searching for a UFC PPV price in 2026 therefore leads to the price of a Paramount+ subscription.

The plan prices below come from Paramount+, Paramount+'s own page about watching UFC, which was last updated in July 2026 and checked on Oct 14, 2026. Subscription prices change, so confirm the current amount on Paramount+ before you sign up.

Under the new arrangement, every UFC event, both numbered cards and Fight Nights, is available live and on demand with a Paramount+ plan. Paramount+ states that there is no pay-per-view charge and no extra fee for UFC events. Some events also air on CBS as a simulcast, according to the same page.

That changes how fans should think about the cost. Instead of paying per card, you pay for a subscription, and the cost is spread across every event you watch in that period. A fan who followed only a few big fights each year used to pay per event. Now the comparison is the subscription price against the months you want to watch.

Two plans carry UFC. Paramount+ Essential is $8.99/mo and includes ads. Paramount+ Premium is $13.99/mo and removes most ads, with live TV still carrying commercials.

Both plans include all UFC events. The main difference is ads and the extra content that comes with Premium, so for UFC alone the Essential plan covers the fights.

Both plans can be paid yearly. Essential is $89.99/yr, and Premium is $139.99/yr.

An annual plan lowers the monthly cost, but it makes sense only if you plan to watch UFC through the year. If you follow only a few events, a monthly plan that you cancel afterward may cost less overall.

Paramount+ raised U.S. prices in January 2026. Variety reported the change in advance, along with the earlier annual prices.

Before the increase, the annual Essential plan was $59.99/yr and the annual Premium plan was $119.99/yr, according to Variety. The monthly prices of both plans rose by the same dollar amount in that increase. If you see an older UFC price on a website or social post, it likely predates this change.

Paramount+ is the way to watch UFC live in the U.S. now, though select events also air on CBS. Which events are simulcast, and whether your TV provider carries CBS, varies, so check the schedule before relying on it.

Start with how many events you will watch. A fan who follows the full calendar benefits from keeping a plan active, and an annual plan lowers the monthly cost. A casual fan who only wants a headline card can subscribe for a month and cancel afterward. Also look at what else you would use on the service, since the plan includes more than UFC, including live sports and a large library. Because Paramount+ also sells through partners and app stores, the price you pay there may differ from the one on its own site.
