Paramount+ will serve as UFC’s broadcast partner in Latin America and Australia, the MMA promotion announced Tuesday. The seven-year deal kicks off in 2026, meaning projects like UFC Fight Pass Brazil will be shut down by the end of 2025. “The partnership with Paramount has already been incredible and it just keeps getting bigger and better,” UFC CEO Dana White stated in a release. “They are now taking on new territories like Latin America and Australia and this thing is just going to continue to grow. It just shows you how aggressive they are with this business, and I love it. I can’t wait to continue working together and building the next generation of talent all over the world.” The streaming service will air all UFC events live with “no additional cost to Paramount+ subscribers”, UFC said. “Delivering premium UFC programming to audiences on a global scale remains a top priority for Paramount,” said Cindy Holland, Chair of Direct-To-Consumer, Paramount. “We are thrilled to expand upon the historic offering of UFC content for Paramount+ subscribers across all plans to more passionate and engaged fans around the world.” The deal means Paramount is expanding its reach with the UFC after a historic $7.7 billion deal in the United States starting in 2026, also marking the end of UFC’s traditional pay-per-view model. The company did not reveal how much the Latin America and Australia deals are worth.
