UFC can be watched live on several platforms, with the primary official option being UFC Fight Pass, which streams live events, prelims, and exclusive UFC content on multiple devices like smart TVs, gaming consoles, mobile devices, and web browsers. For major events and pay-per-view (PPV) cards, ESPN+ is a key platform especially for the U.S. audience, offering prelims and main card streams.
