UFC is one of the hottest tickets in town, and the UFC 307 match-ups are no exception. We’ll show you everything you need to know about how to watch UFC 307, including details on tuning into the Pereira vs. Rountree main event.
UFC 307 will be co-headlined by two must-see events. Brazilian Alex Pereira will face off against American Khalil Rountree in a light heavyweight title fight, Pereira’s third defense of the title this year. American Raquel Pennington will also defend her bantamweight title against American Julianna Peña. The evening will take place at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, and be available through the usual live streaming and PPV options, including ESPN Plus in the US.
Below, we’ve compiled everything you need to know about live streaming UFC events, from Fight Nights to major numbered events. You can find global watch options and savings opportunities on US subscriptions.
How to watch UFC 307 in the US
UFC 307 will take place on Saturday, October 5. The event will kick off with the early prelims at 6:30 p.m. ET, then the prelims at 8 p.m. ET, and then the main card at 10 p.m. ET. Ring walks for the headlining fight don’t usually occur until closer to 11:30 p.m. ET.
UFC 307 is available to live stream on ESPN Plus in the US. Subscriptions start at $10.99/month, but they’ll increase to $11.99/month on October 17. Major UFC events, namely numbered ones like UFC 307, require a subscription and a PPV fee of $79.99/month. Most Fight Night events and some early/preliminary fights on major cards only require a regular subscription, but most major fight cards will necessitate a PPV purchase.
ESPN Plus is designed for sports, giving subscribers access to live MLB, NHL, NFL, soccer, golf, and UFC fights. You can pay $11 monthly or go for an annual deal, which saves you about $22 a year. There’s also a bundle with Hulu and Disney Plus, which offers an even better discount.
Annual plans cost $109.99/year and will increase to $119.99/year for the price hike, so it’s not a bad idea to lock in an annual subscription now. If you don’t already have an ESPN Plus subscription and you’re planning to watch a PPV event, you can find some savings in the streaming service’s PPV package deal, which couples an annual subscription (normally $109.99/year) with a PPV event (normally $79.99) for just $134.98, instead of $189.98. This deal offers $55 in savings, so it’s a great opportunity if you’re a UFC fan planning to hold onto your subscription for a year.
ESPN+ is the home of UFC PPV events, meaning that fans need to purchase a subscription in addition to buying the one-off cards. ESPN is offering a bundle for both new subscribers and monthly subscribers to purchase a specific UFC PPV event along with a year-long subscription to the streaming service.
How to watch UFC everywhere else
The US isn’t the only country with access to UFC events. Many regions, including Canada and the UK, offer live streams through different services. In the UK, you can watch UFC through TNT Sports on Discovery Plus for £30.99/month. In Canada, you can catch UFC events through UFC Fight Pass for $65 or opt for PPV through most major Canadian TV providers.
If you’re outside the US, UK, or Canada, you should check your local listings for more information since there’s a pretty good chance you’ll still be able to watch UFC. But if you’re traveling away from home and find that you can’t access your usual subscriptions, it might be time to try out a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs are handy cybersecurity tools that let you temporarily change the virtual location of your electronic device. This way, you can keep up with all of your usual websites and apps from anywhere, just like you would back home.
