Where to Watch UFC in the UK - 2025 Season
British MMA fans have never had more to shout about. Conor McGregor may be Ireland's, but the UK's own fighters - from Leon Edwards defending his welterweight crown to Paddy Pimblett's irresistible rise through the lightweight ranks - have made British fight nights feel genuinely electric. Whether you're watching from a packed pub in Liverpool or your sofa in London, UFC's UK broadcast home delivers every card in full. Here's how to catch every fight on these shores.

UFC broadcasting in the United Kingdom
TNT Sports secured the UFC's UK broadcasting rights as part of a wide-ranging sports deal and has been the exclusive home of every UFC event in Britain since BT Sport's rebrand. The package covers every numbered PPV event and every Fight Night - unlike the American market, UK fans do not pay separately for individual PPV events. The flat monthly subscription gives access to the entire UFC slate, which represents exceptional value given that a single US PPV purchase costs the equivalent of nearly three months of TNT Sports.
The main practical challenge for UK viewers is the schedule. Las Vegas-based main cards kick off at around 1 AM GMT on a Sunday morning, meaning the dedicated fan needs to either stay up or set a recording. TNT Sports makes replays available promptly, and the UFC app also provides on-demand access. For UK Fight Night events - which are periodically held in London's O2 Arena - the schedule flips to prime time, making those cards the most watched of the year from a domestic audience perspective.
British fighters have transformed UK interest in the UFC over the past decade. Leon Edwards becoming welterweight champion with one of the sport's great comeback knockouts at UFC 278 was a watershed moment, watched by enormous audiences across the country. Paddy Pimblett's social media reach and walkout personality make him one of the sport's biggest draws regardless of ranking. Tom Aspinall's rise in the heavyweight division adds further must-watch appeal. For British MMA fans, TNT Sports is not a luxury - it's essential viewing.
