Paramount+ announced the increase of its subscriptions starting in early 2026 when the UFC comes on board. The two tiers of Paramount+ (with ads and ad-free) will increase by $1 starting January 15.
The current $7.99 per month will increase to $8.99 and the $12.99 per month will increase to $13.99.
This past August, Paramount paid 7 years, $7.7 billion for the domestic rights to the UFC. A month later it added Zuffa Boxing in addition to international markets for the UFC.
The new cost for Paramount+ still reflects a substantially cheaper alternative than the current plan for UFC fans. The ESPN+ digital platform starts at $11.99 and charges $79.99 per PPV. UFC Fight Cards on the digital platform do not carry an additional fee.
During its Q3 earnings call, it announced price hikes are also set for Canada and Australia to support “continued investment” in the platform.
