The UFC’s UK broadcast rights live on TNT Sports, the Warner Bros. Discovery sports network in the UK. TNT Sports took the UFC rights from BT Sport when the BT-Eurosport joint venture rebranded in 2023, and the current cycle runs through 2027.
The 2025-26 UK broadcaster map
TNT Sports is the primary UK home of the UFC. Fight Night main cards run on TNT Sports 1 linear and on the TNT Sports app via the Discovery+ Premium subscription at £30.99 per month. Prelims run on the TNT Sports app and Discovery+ at the same subscription tier.
TNT Sports Box Office is the PPV product. UFC PPV main cards run on Box Office at typically £19.95 per event, with the largest cards occasionally priced at £24.95. The PPV is purchased separately from the Discovery+ Premium subscription — Discovery+ Premium carries Fight Nights but not PPV main cards.
UFC Fight Pass UK at £6.99 per month carries the international Fight Night calendar (events that fall outside TNT’s exclusive UK window), every UFC Apex card without TNT overlap, and the full historical library back to UFC 1. Fight Pass content is identical across UK, US and Canadian subscribers.
How PPV pricing works in the UK
UFC PPV main cards on TNT Sports Box Office in 2025-26 are priced at:
- £19.95 for the standard PPV cards (most cards)
- £24.95 for the largest cards (typically two to three per year)
The price holds regardless of Discovery+ subscription status. Box Office PPV is a one-time purchase per event with no streaming-subscription discount.
A practical Saturday-night UK plan
A standard UFC PPV Saturday in the UK runs late. The cards are scheduled for the US timezone, so a 22:00 ET main card lands at 03:00 UK time. A typical PPV night:
- 23:00 UK: early prelims on TNT Sports app (Discovery+ Premium)
- 01:00 UK: televised prelims on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports app
- 03:00 UK: PPV main card on TNT Sports Box Office (PPV purchase required)
Fight Nights with a European start time (London, Paris, Manchester events) run during UK primetime and are carried in full on the TNT Sports app at no additional cost beyond the Discovery+ subscription.
Cross-border viewing notes
UK viewers cannot legally access ESPN+ for UFC content; ESPN+ is geographically restricted to the US, and the TNT Sports deal holds the UK exclusive. UFC Fight Pass is sold separately in the UK and runs only the library and the international Fight Night content not held under TNT exclusivity.
