Paramount+ is expanding its push into live sports with the launch of a sprawling UFC fight archive. The new content lineup includes access to more than 1,400 bouts, highlights and event programs ahead of the platform’s first-ever live UFC broadcast later this month.
The newly unveiled UFC library spans more than two decades of fight history, with select main cards and curated “best of” compilations dating from the early 2000s through 2025. Organized into collections, the archive is designed to let fans easily jump between eras, fighters and finishes.
Among the featured collections are full UFC numbered events from multiple decades, a “Legends” section spotlighting career-defining bouts from icons like Georges St-Pierre, Chuck Liddell, Anderson Silva, Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar, as well as collections centered on current champions and a knockout-heavy “KO City” hub. The archive also includes Spanish- and Portuguese-language fight programs, with additional content slated to roll out on a regular basis.
The timing is deliberate. The archive launch serves as a runway to UFC’s live debut on Paramount+ with UFC 324: Gaethje vs. Pimblett, airing Saturday, Jan. 24 from T-Mobile Arena. The event will feature former interim lightweight champion and BMF titleholder Justin Gaethje against fan favorite Paddy Pimblett, alongside bouts involving UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Kayla Harrison and Hall of Famer Amanda Nunes.
The live debut also marks a significant shift in UFC’s distribution strategy, signaling the end of traditional pay-per-view for UFC events in the U.S. and Latin America and positioning Paramount+ as the sport’s primary streaming home in those markets. All UFC content on the platform — both live and archived — is available to subscribers across Paramount+’s Essential and Premium tiers.
