UFC’s Paramount+ Era Debuts as $2.99 Per‑Fight Rumor Fizzles

Paramount+ positions UFC access as part of a single subscription, not per‑fight charges.

Overview

  • The UFC began streaming on Paramount+ and CBS in early January under a reported $7.7 billion rights deal.
  • A viral screenshot suggested a $2.99 fee to watch individual bouts, prompting confusion and fan frustration.
  • Users later posted videos showing the full fight library available within a subscription, with reports pointing to unsubscribed views or a platform glitch as the cause of the prompt.
  • Paramount+ promotions tout live UFC events, replays, highlights and series like UFC Countdown and Embedded for subscribers.
  • Michael Chandler told CBS he could face Conor McGregor at a potential White House card, though UFC leadership has not confirmed such an event.
