UFC signed a groundbreaking $1.1 billion, seven-year deal with Paramount, making Paramount+ the exclusive streaming home for all UFC events starting in 2026. Select events will also air on CBS. This deal significantly surpasses previous broadcast rights agreements and simplifies fan access to content. Dana White plans a meeting with Donald Trump to discuss a proposed UFC event at the White House in 2024 to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday. The deal's impact on fighter pay remains to be determined, although White anticipates a positive effect. The move away from the pay-per-view model is expected to benefit fighters.
