Paramount and UFC have expanded their seven-year partnership to provide select UFC events on free-to-air television on Network 10.
Paramount+ subscribers in Australia already have access to all live UFC Fight Nights and the prelims for marquee numbered events as part of their subscription beginning in January 2026.
The news follows the historic seven-year media rights partnership announced in August in which Paramount+ will become the exclusive home of all UFC events in the US starting in 2026.
Beverley McGarvey, Head of Streaming, Paramount ANZ and President Network 10, said: “We are delighted to add UFC to our sport offering in Australia. We will provide fans with the opportunity to watch UFC live on Paramount+ with selected events to be simulcast on Network 10, Australia’s leading network for younger people.
“The 30 UFC Fight Nights and the prelims from the 13 marquee numbered events will bring hundreds of bouts to Paramount+ viewers throughout the year.
“The ability of Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, to negotiate agreements of this scale enable Paramount+ and Network 10 to deliver premium content to Australian audiences and is a sign of great things to come for our viewers.”
UFC President and CEO Dana White said the partnership with Paramount keeps “getting bigger and better”.
“They are now taking on new territories like Australia and this thing is just going to continue to grow,” White said. “It just shows you how aggressive they are with this business, and I love it. I can’t wait to continue working together and building the next generation of talent all over the world.”
Details on the first UFC events available on Paramount+ and Network 10 will be announced in coming weeks.
