UFC and Paramount have announced the debut event to stream on Paramount+ next year.
At no extra cost, UFC fans will be able to watch UFC 324 on January 24 on Paramount+ at no additional cost. The event, which will see Justin Gaethje and Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett hit the Octagon in an interim UFC lightweight title fight, will be the first of 13 marquee numbered events scheduled in 2026. All of those events will be available to stream live on Paramount+, too.
The co-main event of UFC 324, which takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, will see bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison defending her title against UFC Hall of Famer Amanda Nunes, who is returning to the mixed martial arts fighting series for the first time since 2023. Additional bouts at the event include “Suga” Sean O’Malley against Song “Kung Fu Kid” Yadong, Waldo Cortes Acosta against Derrick Lewis, and Arnold Allen against Jean Silva.
“Saturday, January 24th in Las Vegas kicks off this incredible partnership with Paramount,” said UFC President and CEO Dana White. “I am so excited for UFC fans that our first card has six current and former champions, including the long-awaited return of the greatest female fighter of all time—which is definitely the biggest women’s fight ever. Also, in the main event we have Justin Gaethje versus Paddy Pimblett for the interim lightweight title to see who will face Ilia Topuria later this year on Paramount+. This card is absolutely stacked—every fight is a must-see. This deal is such a huge win for fans with no more pay-per-view. I look forward to 2026 being our best year ever.”
Tickets for anyone looking to attend the fight in person will go on sale on December 12 at 10 a.m. PT. For anyone who wants to watch from home, however, all they’ll need is a Paramount+ subscription.
“Paramount+ and UFC are transforming the mixed martial arts fan experience,” said Cindy Holland, Chair of Direct-To-Consumer, Paramount. “Every division of Paramount is working in concert to ensure maximum visibility and unparalleled accessibility to current and future fans–making Paramount+ the definitive home of UFC.”
