About this schedule

This page tracks the full UFC schedule 2026, listing every numbered pay-per-view and Fight Night card with its Prelims and Main Card start times, plus where to stream it. Since UFC moved to an exclusive streaming home, the most common question fans have shifted from what channel is UFC on tonight to simply whether a specific card is on the main streaming service or a separate add-on.

All UFC events, from numbered pay-per-views like UFC 300-plus cards through weekly Fight Night shows, stream exclusively on Paramount+. That's a significant shift from the sport's previous split between pay-per-view purchases and separate cable deals: with the current arrangement, every card, including what were previously premium pay-per-view events, is included with a standard Paramount+ subscription rather than requiring an additional purchase.

Fight cards typically run in three stages: Early Prelims, Prelims and the Main Card, each starting at a different time and often spanning five or more hours in total from the first prelim bout to the final headline fight. This page lists the start time for Prelims and Main Card separately, since the gap between them can be an hour or more depending on how the undercard runs, and fans tuning in just for the main event don't want to load up the stream too early.

The UFC typically runs one or two events most weekends across the year, with numbered pay-per-view cards usually reserved for the sport's biggest title fights and most marketable matchups. Main Card start times are often adjusted on fight day once the length of the undercard becomes clearer.
