In buildup for Saturday’s debut, the streamer launched the UFC hub featuring a massive archive library (more than 1,400 fights, moments, and event programs) as a runway to live events. It has an aggressive 2026 schedule already mapped out with numbered events and Fight Nights across the calendar. In addition to the archive and live events, original programs like The Ultimate Fighter and Dana White’s Contender Series are coming to the streamer, creating a one-stop shop for fight fans who want old classics, build-up content, and live PPV-caliber cards in one place.
UFC 324: Gaethje vs. Pimblett kicks off at 5:00 PM ET with the early prelims, and the main card follows at 9:00 PM ET. Fight fans who want to tune into Saturday’s historic event must add Paramount+ to their streaming lineup. Starting at $7.99 per month, after a 7-day free trial, you get access to all UFC live events, including marquee numbered cards for no additional charge, 40,000+ titles, live sports, and much more.
