How to order UFC 246 PPV: McGregor vs. Cowboy

Conor McGregor returns to action this Saturday night at UFC 246. The former two-division champion will compete against Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone in the main event of the UFC’s first event of the year.

McGregor has been out of action since losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov in October 2018. Much has changed in the time that McGregor has been away from mixed martial arts. One of the most significant changes is how fans can watch live UFC fights.

In 2019, the UFC formed a significant partnership with ESPN that changed the way that fans view live UFC PPV events and UFC Fight Night events. Although McGregor’s last fight against Nurmagomedov was able to be ordered via a traditional cable or satellite provider, that’s no longer the case.

All UFC PPV events — including UFC 246 this Saturday — are only available on ESPN+.

That means fans now require an ESPN+ subscription if they plan on ordering UFC 246 and other UFC PPV events in 2020. ESPN+ is a subscription-based digital streaming service that allows fans to stream all of the action to their TV’s, computers, laptops, or phones.
