Paramount Skydance announced a seven-year media rights agreement in which Paramount+ will become the exclusive home of all UFC events in the U.S. -- pulling the mixed martial arts events from ESPN.

Days after completing its merger with Skydance, Paramount has acquired the U.S. rights to TKO Group’s UFC for seven years, beginning in 2026.

Paramount and TKO, a premium sports and entertainment company, have acquired UFC broadcasting rights in a seven-year, $7.7 billion deal. The deal includes UFC’s full slate of 13 marquee events and 30 “Fight Nights.” All matches and events will be streamed on Paramount+, while select events will be simulcast on CBS.
