UFC Fight Night events are available to watch on BT Sport. You can find more information via the official UFC hub on the BT Sport website.

Fans tend to refer to these shows as 'free' shows as they are not on PPV in the United States.

Whilst you do need to have a subscription to a certain service, ESPN+ and UFC FIGHT PASS in the States and BT Sport and UFC FIGHT PASS in the United Kingdom, you will not be paying any extra to watch these cards.
