Network 10 brings UFC to free-to-air in 2026

Network 10 will be bringing a selection of UFC fights to free-to-air television in 2026, with all live UFC Fight Nights and various other preliminary events coming to Paramount+ as part of a seven-year international rights deal.

From January 2026, Paramount+ will stream 30 UFC Fight Nights live, as well as the prelims from the 13 marquee numbered events. A number of “selected events” will also be simulcast on Network 10.

This comes after parent company Paramount Skydance struck an A$11.7 billion, seven-year broadcast deal with Paramount in August to stream all of its fights on Paramount+ in the US, exclusively. Much like the Australian deal, Paramount will also air select fights on its free-to-air network CBS. This deal has also been expanded to cover Latin America.
