Paramount+ Becomes Exclusive Home for Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing Starting 2026

The streaming pact positions Paramount+ as TKO’s central platform for combat sports in North America in 2026.

Overview

  • Paramount+ will stream Zuffa Boxing exclusively in the U.S., Canada and Latin America beginning January 2026, launching with 12 events and potential CBS simulcasts.
  • The agreement is described as long-term with financial terms undisclosed, and some outlets report a five-year term that has not been confirmed by the companies.
  • Zuffa Boxing is a TKOSela venture led by Dana White with Turki Alalshikh, Nick Khan and Dr. Rakan Alharthy, reflecting significant Saudi-backed investment.
  • The deal complements UFC’s separate seven-year, roughly $7.7 billion rights agreement with Paramount, bringing both properties under the same streaming umbrella.
  • Operational details such as the 2026 schedule remain to be announced as TKO pursues format changes and proposed Ali Act amendments to enable in-house rankings and titles.
