Paramount+ Becomes Exclusive Home of Zuffa Boxing Starting in 2026

The pact advances Paramount's combat sports strategy by pairing the new promotion with UFC on one platform.

Overview

  • Paramount+ will stream Zuffa Boxing exclusively in the U.S., Canada and Latin America beginning January 2026 with an initial slate of 12 events and plans to expand.
  • Select Zuffa Boxing cards could be simulcast on CBS, with additional programming expected across other Paramount platforms.
  • Zuffa Boxing is a TKOSela venture led by UFC CEO Dana White with HE Turki Alalshikh, Sela CEO Dr. Rakan Alharthy and WWE president Nick Khan in executive roles.
  • The companies described the arrangement as a long-term media rights deal, with financial terms and exact length undisclosed as some outlets report five years without official confirmation.
  • Dana White says the promotion will emphasize 50/50 matchups, fewer weight classes and in‑house rankings and championships, with TKO pursuing regulatory changes to enable the model.
