UFC Finalizes White House Attendance Plan for June 14: 5,000 on South Lawn, 85,000 at Ellipse

Matchmaking will not begin until February, leaving the card unannounced despite the new attendance plan.

Overview

  • An Octagon will be built on the South Lawn for roughly 5,000 attendees, with a separate public viewing area on the Ellipse targeting about 85,000.
  • Tickets for the South Lawn will not be sold to the general public, and the UFC has not detailed how those seats will be allocated.
  • The Ellipse screening is set to feature big screens, a stage, and music throughout the day for tens of thousands of fans.
  • No bouts have been announced, as Dana White says matchmaking is expected to start in February.
  • Fight week programming will span Washington, D.C., with fighters slated to walk from the Oval Office to the Octagon on June 14 during an America 250 celebration that coincides with President Trump’s birthday.
