The 2026 UFC schedule features major events, including Conor McGregor's return against Max Holloway on July 11 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This bout headlines UFC 329 and marks McGregor's first fight after a prolonged absence.
Islam Makhachev will defend his welterweight title against Ian Machado Garry on August 15 in Philadelphia. Dricus Du Plessis is set to face former champion Kamaru Usman on July 18 in Oklahoma City, providing another high-profile middleweight clash.
A historic UFC Freedom 250 event is slated for June 14 on the South Lawn of the White House, commemorating America's 250th anniversary. This marks the first time the UFC will hold an event at the presidential residence.
In a major shift, all 44 UFC events in 2026 will stream exclusively on Paramount+ under a new seven-year media rights agreement valued at $7.7 billion. This deal eliminates the pay-per-view model, aiming to increase accessibility for viewers and potentially expand international reach.
