List of UFC events provides a comprehensive overview of the scheduling and historical record of competitions organized by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), a premier mixed martial arts organization based in the United States. The very first UFC event, known as UFC 1, took place on November 12, 1993. Each card typically includes several bouts, beginning with preliminary matches and concluding with the headlining fight.

Overview

UFC events are divided into nine distinct categories:

• "Numbered" events, mainly distributed via pay-per-view and set to be available on Paramount+ starting January 2026.
• "Fight Night" cards, which will stream on Paramount+ from 2026 onward, having previously aired on Spike, Fox Sports 1/2, UFC Fight Pass, or ESPN+.
• "UFC on ESPN" events televised on ESPN or ESPN2.
• "The Ultimate Fighter Finale" shows, which were formerly broadcast on Spike, FX, Fox Sports 1, UFC Fight Pass, or ESPN+.
• "UFC Live," an event series that aired on Versus in the past.
• "UFC on Fox," previously shown via Fox Broadcasting Company.
• "UFC on FX," which aired on FX network.
• "UFC on Fuel TV," formerly presented on Fuel TV.
• "UFC on ABC," once broadcast by ABC.

While most numbered events have been offered through pay-per-view platforms, certain international shows recorded on tape delay (such as UFC 72 held in Belfast) experienced reduced buy rates due to inconvenient timing. To preserve prime-time viewership in the United States, some overseas cards (including UFC 70, 75, and 89) were broadcast live in the same evening on Spike.

Preliminary bouts have been featured across various outlets such as Spike, FX, Fuel TV, Facebook, and YouTube. Since August 2013’s UFC Fight Night: Shogun vs. Sonnen, non-pay-per-view events have streamed via Fox Sports 1 or Fox Sports 2. Beginning January 2014, the UFC expanded its international reach by exclusively streaming global cards through its subscription-based digital service UFC Fight Pass.

Although UFC 100 was marketed as the centennial numbered event in July 2009, it was actually the 101st numbered show and the 133rd overall event. The UFC’s initial broadcast collaboration commenced with Fox Sports Net in June 2002, featuring the first mixed martial arts bout available on cable television during the unique UFC 37.5 event held between UFC 37 and UFC 38—the latter marking the organization’s debut in the United Kingdom.

As of UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs. Hooker on November 22, 2025, a total of 756 events have been conducted across 169 cities within 32 countries.

Other events

In May 2017, the UFC revealed that Dana White would host Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series, a weekly program available initially on UFC Fight Pass and becoming exclusive to ESPN+ in the United States starting January 2019. Similar in concept to the earlier web series Looking for a Fight, this series serves as a scouting platform for promising fighters aspiring to join the UFC roster. Although it operates separately from the main UFC brand identity, it offers emerging athletes an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities with potential contracts at stake.
