The UFC runs on a two-tier system that shapes how you watch it: numbered pay-per-view events (UFC 300-style cards) that sit behind a PPV purchase on ESPN+, and Fight Nights that stream on ESPN+ without the extra fee. Add in PFL, the old Bellator library, and ONE Championship cards from Asia, and the modern MMA schedule is a near-weekly grind spread across services. This page lines up the live cards in one list so you can find the fights without sorting out which platform holds which event.
A card is built in stages, and the timing is predictable. UFC PPV nights open with early prelims around 6:00 PM ET, prelims at 8:00 PM ET, and the main card at 10:00 PM ET, with the headline walk-outs usually between midnight and 1:00 AM ET. Fight Nights start earlier - prelims near 4:00 or 5:00 PM ET and the main card around 7:00 PM ET - and international events (Abu Dhabi, Australia) shift everything to accommodate the host time zone. Every event page shows when the broadcast goes live and carries multiple channel tabs, because a finish in MMA can come in ten seconds and you do not want a buffering feed at the wrong moment.
Coverage spans the promotions and the whole card, from the featured title fights down to the prelims, including UFC numbered events and Fight Nights, PFL's season-and-playoff format, and other major shows. Pay-per-view main events draw the biggest audiences and carry the most backup sources. If you follow the striking arts more broadly, live cards are also on our boxing page, and the sports-entertainment side is over on WWE streams.
Events are added as cards are confirmed and feeds usually come online 30 to 60 minutes before the early prelims, so check back near fight night if a card is not up yet. TheTVApp is a free aggregator and hosts no video of its own; every stream is a third-party link embedded for convenience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy the UFC pay-per-view to watch numbered events here?
No. UFC numbered PPVs that normally require a purchase on ESPN+ are aggregated here from free third-party feeds, so you can watch the main card without the PPV fee.
What is the difference between a UFC PPV and a Fight Night?
Numbered UFC events (like UFC 300) are pay-per-view and stacked with title fights; Fight Nights are non-PPV cards on ESPN+. Both are covered here, with PPV main events carrying the most backup channels.
When do UFC main-card fights usually start?
On PPV nights, early prelims begin around 6:00 PM ET, prelims at 8:00 PM ET, and the main card at 10:00 PM ET, with headline walk-outs near midnight to 1:00 AM ET. Fight Nights run earlier.
Do you cover PFL, Bellator and other promotions?
Yes. Alongside the UFC, major cards from the PFL, Bellator and other promotions are listed when available, each with multiple channel tabs.
