StreamUFC PPV Price Australia 2026: Main Event, Kayo & Fight Pass
Since January 2026, watching the UFC in Australia has been split in two: the prelims and Fight Nights are on Paramount+, while the main cards of numbered events are still pay-per-view. Here's exactly what a UFC PPV costs in Australia, where to buy it, what you get without paying extra, and every big card left in 2026, including Alexander Volkanovski's title fight at UFC 333.
Quick answer: how much is a UFC PPV in Australia?
- $59.95 per event for the main card of a numbered UFC event, sold exclusively through Main Event.
- Buy it on Kayo Sports (no Kayo subscription needed) or through Foxtel iQ.
- Paramount+ (from $7.99/month) includes the prelims of numbered events and every Fight Night at no extra cost since 1 January 2026.
- Next PPV: UFC 333, Volkanovski vs Evloev, 24 October (US time), in Abu Dhabi.
How much does a UFC PPV cost in Australia?
A UFC pay-per-view costs $59.95 in Australia, and it covers the main card of one numbered event. Foxtel Group's Main Event has been the exclusive Australian home of UFC pay-per-view since 2024, and that arrangement continues in 2026 even though the UFC dropped pay-per-view in the United States when it moved to Paramount+ there. Australian fans still pay per event for the main card.
| Option | Price | What you get | Subscription needed? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main Event PPV on Kayo | $59.95 per event | Main card of a numbered event | No |
| Main Event PPV on Foxtel | $59.95 per event | Main card of a numbered event | Foxtel iQ subscription |
| Paramount+ Basic with ads | $7.99/month | Numbered-event prelims + all Fight Nights | Paramount+ only |
| Paramount+ Standard / Premium | $12.99 / $17.99 per month | Same UFC content, no ads, HD/4K | Paramount+ only |
Two details catch people out. First, an existing Kayo subscription does not include UFC PPV: Standard and Premium subscribers still pay the $59.95. Second, on Foxtel, Main Event needs a Foxtel iQ box. When you buy on Kayo without a subscription, your purchase includes temporary Kayo access around the event; the exact window is shown at checkout.
Kayo or Foxtel: where should you buy?
For most people, Kayo is the simpler choice. It runs on smart TVs, Fire TV, Google TV, Apple TV, games consoles, phones and in a web browser, and you don't need any ongoing subscription. Buying through Foxtel makes sense if you already have a Foxtel iQ box connected to your main TV and want the fight on the big screen without casting or extra apps. The price is the same $59.95 either way, so choose whichever fits your setup. If several people want to watch on different screens, check how many simultaneous streams your purchase allows before fight night.

What's on Paramount+ and what's pay-per-view?
Paramount+ covers everything except the main card of numbered events. A typical numbered event like UFC 333 has early prelims, prelims and a main card. The first two stream on Paramount+; the main card is the PPV. UFC Fight Nights, held most weekends between numbered events, are entirely on Paramount+.
Upcoming UFC events in late 2026
Three numbered events remain in 2026: UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi on 24 October, UFC 334 in New York on 14 November and UFC 335 in Las Vegas on 12 December. Dates below are US/local event dates; because of the time difference, main cards from North America usually land on Sunday in Australia.
| Date (local) | Event | Headliner | Where to watch in Australia |
|---|---|---|---|
| 17 Oct | UFC Fight Night, Edmonton | Buckley vs Malott | Paramount+ |
| 24 Oct | UFC 333, Abu Dhabi | Volkanovski vs Evloev (featherweight title) | Main card: Main Event PPV · Prelims: Paramount+ |
| 31 Oct | UFC Fight Night, Las Vegas | Moicano vs Nolan | Paramount+ |
| 7 Nov | UFC Fight Night, Las Vegas | Bonfim vs Brady | Paramount+ |
| 14 Nov | UFC 334, New York | To be confirmed (reports point to a heavyweight title fight) | Main card: Main Event PPV · Prelims: Paramount+ |
| 21 Nov | UFC Fight Night, Doha | Prochazka vs Stirling | Paramount+ |
| 12 Dec | UFC 335, Las Vegas | To be confirmed | Main card: Main Event PPV · Prelims: Paramount+ |
Cards change often through injury and late call-ups, so check the event listing on Kayo or the UFC website in fight week.
UFC 333: Volkanovski vs Evloev
For Australian fans, UFC 333 is the standout card of the run home. Australian featherweight star Alexander Volkanovski faces Movsar Evloev in a featherweight title fight in Abu Dhabi on 24 October, with two titles on the line on the night. Because Abu Dhabi is six to seven hours behind the east coast, the main card will fall in the early hours of Sunday 25 October in Australia. Main Event lists the exact start time once the card is locked in.
Australian start times: North American main cards typically start on Sunday early-to-mid afternoon on the east coast (AEDT), with prelims from late Sunday morning. Abu Dhabi and Doha cards land much earlier on Sunday. Daylight saving in the US ends on 1 November, which moves North American cards an hour later in Australia from then on.
UFC Fight Pass in Australia: price and what you get
UFC Fight Pass costs around $10.99 a month or $104.99 a year in Australia, but it doesn't include live pay-per-view main cards. Since Main Event became the exclusive home of UFC PPV in Australia, Fight Pass has turned into a library and niche-events service rather than a way to watch the big cards.
| Service | Price | Numbered-event main card | Prelims and Fight Nights | Fight library |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main Event PPV (Kayo / Foxtel) | $59.95 per event | Yes | No | No |
| Paramount+ | from $7.99/month | No | Yes | Limited |
| UFC Fight Pass | around $10.99/month or $104.99/year | No | No | Yes, plus other promotions' events |
Fight Pass is worth it if you love classic fights, want to rewatch old cards or follow smaller promotions that stream there. If you only want to watch this year's UFC events, Paramount+ plus the PPVs you care about is the better buy. Fight Pass prices can differ between the app stores and the UFC website, so check the price at checkout.
Is it worth buying every UFC PPV?
Buying every numbered event at $59.95 adds up quickly, so most fans pick the cards they care about and rely on Paramount+ for the rest. The UFC runs a numbered event roughly every month, so a full year of PPVs costs more than $700. A full year of Paramount+ Basic with ads costs under $100 and covers every Fight Night and every set of prelims.
How to buy a UFC PPV in Australia, step by step
- Check the card on Kayo or ufc.com in fight week, as bouts change often.
- Choose Kayo or Foxtel: Kayo works on almost any device without a subscription; Foxtel needs an iQ box.
- Buy the event in the Kayo app or website (or via Foxtel) for $59.95. Buy before the main card starts, as orders are sometimes slower in the final minutes.
- Watch the prelims on Paramount+ if you subscribe, then switch to Main Event for the main card.
- Test your stream early: about 10 Mbps is enough for HD; use a wired connection or strong Wi-Fi.
Why a "UFC IPTV" stream is a bad bet
Searches for "UFC IPTV" or free PPV streams lead to services that resell Main Event without a licence. In Australia, that's a poor deal:
- Blocked by court order: under section 115A of the Copyright Act, rights holders regularly obtain Federal Court orders forcing ISPs to block piracy sites and IPTV services, and those blocks often hit on fight night.
- Copyright infringement: selling unlicensed broadcasts infringes copyright, and courts overseas have found that even streaming from obviously illegal sources can infringe.
- No refunds that mean anything: if a stream drops in the main event or the service disappears, there is no one to complain to.
