US MMA broadcasting is split across promotions, not networks. UFC is on Paramount+, ESPN+, and Fight Pass; PFL (which acquired Bellator in late 2023) is on ESPN+ and DAZN; ONE Championship is on Amazon Prime Video; smaller regional promotions live on UFC Fight Pass, DAZN, and the promotions’ own apps. No single subscription covers MMA as a whole. Here is the promotion-by-promotion map.
UFC
The biggest US MMA promotion. Coverage:
- Numbered Events (UFC 300, 301, etc.) — Paramount+ from 2026
- Fight Night main cards — ESPN+ (transitioning to Paramount+)
- Selected events on broadcast — ABC
- Prelims and archive — UFC Fight Pass
Detail in our UFC guide and Fight Pass deep-dive.
PFL (Professional Fighters League)
PFL acquired Bellator in November 2023 and now runs the combined organization. US coverage:
- PFL Regular Season (the season-format card series) — ESPN+
- PFL Playoffs — ESPN+
- PFL Championship — ESPN+
- PFL Champions Series (the marquee international cards launched 2024-onward) — DAZN globally, ESPN+ in the US
- Bellator Champions Series — DAZN, with selected events on ESPN+
PFL operates on a season format with playoffs and championships in each weight class — distinct from UFC’s continuous calendar. A US fan who wants every PFL event needs ESPN+ ($11.99/mo) at minimum, with DAZN ($24.99/mo) for the international Champions Series shows.
ONE Championship
The Singapore-based promotion airs in the US on Amazon Prime Video. ONE on Prime Video carries the major ONE events (ONE Fight Night cards and the larger ONE numbered events) live. Coverage is included with a standard Amazon Prime subscription ($14.99/mo or $139/yr) — no additional ONE-specific fee.
ONE’s marquee international cards (typically in Bangkok or Singapore) air late at night in US time zones; Amazon’s on-demand replay is generally available within hours of the live event.
Cage Warriors
The European promotion that developed Conor McGregor and many others. US coverage is on UFC Fight Pass as part of the standard Fight Pass subscription.
Invicta FC
The women’s-only promotion. UFC owns it. Coverage in the US is on UFC Fight Pass.
DAZN’s wider MMA coverage
DAZN’s US service ($24.99/mo or $224.99/yr) carries the Bellator Champions Series, PFL Champions Series, and various international MMA cards. Boxing is DAZN’s primary product in the US, but MMA is a growing secondary content vertical.
RIZIN, Fury FC, LFA, and regional MMA
- RIZIN (Japan) — typically airs on Live Now (PPV) or selected RIZIN events on UFC Fight Pass
- Fury FC (US regional) — Fury FC’s own app, sometimes UFC Fight Pass
- LFA (Legacy Fighting Alliance, US regional) — UFC Fight Pass
- Combate Global (Spanish-language regional) — Univision and ParamountTV
What a complete MMA subscription actually costs
For a US fan who wants every major MMA promotion legally:
- Paramount+ ($7.99/mo) — UFC Numbered Events.
- ESPN+ ($11.99/mo) — UFC Fight Nights (transition), PFL Regular Season, Champions Series US carriage.
- UFC Fight Pass ($9.99/mo) — archive, Cage Warriors, Invicta, regional promotions.
- Amazon Prime ($14.99/mo) — ONE Championship.
- DAZN ($24.99/mo) — Bellator and PFL Champions Series internationals.
Total roughly $70/mo for true full coverage. Most fans subscribe to two or three of these depending on which promotions they actually follow.
