UFC Paramount+ Debut Breaks Streaming Records
UFC 324, the UFC’s first event on Paramount+, became the streaming service’s largest exclusive live event, averaging nearly 5 million viewers. The card — the first under a new seven-year, $7.7 billion media-rights deal that effectively ends the traditional U.S. and Latin American pay-per-view model for UFC events on Paramount+ — was anchored by a main event in which Justin Gaethje defeated Paddy Pimblett for the interim lightweight title. The fight generated significant social engagement (reported 5.5 million interactions) and trended #1 worldwide on X for six consecutive hours. The result is being framed as validation that premium live sports can drive subscriptions and audience engagement for streaming platforms.
UFC to Stream Historic White House Card on Paramount+
UFC CEO Dana White says the upcoming UFC Freedom 250 — an unprecedented card staged on the South Lawn of the White House — will stream exclusively on Paramount+.

The show, part of a 7-year, $7.7 billion rights partnership between Paramount and TKO Group Holdings, is scheduled for Sunday, June 14, 2026, with the main card beginning at 8:00 PM ET. Production requires extensive logistics (generators, a custom rig called the “Claw”) and fighters are expected to make walkouts from the Oval Office. The confirmed fight card includes Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje (Lightweight title) and Alex Pereira vs. Ciryl Gane (Interim Heavyweight), among other bouts.
