The UFC and Paramount announced that the company has signed a new media rights deal for numbered events to air on Paramount+ in Canada starting in 2027. This ends the UFC PPVs in the country.
This past August TKO announced a huge deal with Paramount to move UFC in the U.S. to Paramount+ effectively ending numbered PPVs in the United States in January. As more media rights deals are ending with the UFC, the Paramount is scooping them up.
It is reported as a six-year deal and the monetary terms were not announced. The deal includes the annual 13-UFC numbered events. The announcement was not specific if Fight Night events would be exclusive to Paramount.
Paramount currently has media rights deals with the United States and Latin America to air UFC content.
The current deal in Canada began in 2019 and ends at the end of 2026.
