Paramount+ Extends UFC Rights to Latin America and Australia Starting in 2026

The expansion builds on August’s $7.7 billion U.S. pact, positioning Paramount+ as the primary UFC outlet in new regions from 2026.

Overview

  • Fans in Latin America, including Brazil, will get all 13 numbered UFC events and 30 Fight Nights live on Paramount+ at no extra cost to subscribers beginning in 2026.
  • In Australia, Paramount+ will stream all 30 Fight Nights and the prelims for numbered events, while main cards remain pay-per-view on Main Event via Foxtel and Kayo.
  • Select UFC events in Australia will also air on free-to-air Network 10 as part of the new distribution setup.
  • The multi-territory deal starts January 1, 2026, with UFC Fight Pass Brazil set to wind down by the end of 2025 as the transition begins.
  • Financial terms for the Latin America and Australia rights were not disclosed, and existing arrangements in markets like Canada, the U.K. and New Zealand remain in place.
