The UFC-Paramount deal just got a lot bigger.
The UFC announced on Tuesday that it has expanded its broadcasting deal with Paramount to cover Australia and all of Latin America – including both Brazil and Mexico, two countries that historically have had different broadcasting partners than the rest of Latin America. This expansion will kick off along with the UFC-Paramount deal in the U.S. starting January 2026.
The UFC is currently streaming its events in Brazil through UFC Fight Pass, in Mexico through Fox Sports, and in the rest of Latin America through Disney+. Those deals will come to an end with the arrival of Paramount.
This past August, Paramount signed an exclusive seven-year media rights partnership with the UFC worth $7.7 billion as the UFC’s seven-year partnership with ESPN comes to an end.
Thirteen numbered events, which were previously pay-per-views in the U.S., and 30 UFC Fight Nights are scheduled to happen annually. In the U.S., the 30 Fight Night events will broadcast through Paramount+, while the numbered events are expected to simulcast on Paramount+ and CBS, Paramount’s flagship network.
In a press release, the promotion stated the UFC-Paramount expansion to Australia and Latin America means all Fight Nights and numbered events will stream on Paramount+.
