Guide: How to order a UFC PPV event

With more than 42 UFC events every year and a wide range of different event types, it’s easy to understand how many sports fans end up confused about how to watch UFC fights.

The vast majority of events are labeled “UFC Fight Night” events. These are the ‘free’ fights that are now available to watch on ESPN+ and sometimes ESPN during the special UFC on ESPN events.

But the biggest and best fights air exclusively on PPV (pay-per-view).

These events are the numbered fight cards (e.g. UFC 275) and typically feature at least one title fight. The promotion packs many of the best upcoming fights into these PPV events to attract the largest audience possible.

In this article, we’ll include everything you need to know about how to watch a UFC PPV event, including how to purchase a UFC PPV and how to stream the UFC fights to your TV.
