List of UFC events provides a comprehensive record of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) competitions, a premier mixed martial arts organization based in the United States. The first event, UFC 1, took place on November 12, 1993. Events typically consist of several bouts, beginning with preliminary matches and concluding with the headline fight.

Overview

UFC events are divided into nine distinct categories:

• "Numbered" events, mainly distributed via pay-per-view and anticipated to be available on Paramount+ starting January 2026.
• "Fight Night" events, which will stream on Paramount+ from January 2026 onward; these were previously shown on Spike, Fox Sports 1/2, UFC Fight Pass, or ESPN+.
• "UFC on ESPN" events, broadcast through ESPN or ESPN2.
• "The Ultimate Fighter Finale," formerly aired on Spike, FX, Fox Sports 1, UFC Fight Pass, or ESPN+.
• "UFC Live," which used to be shown on Versus.
• "UFC on Fox," previously broadcast on Fox Broadcasting Company.
• "UFC on FX," once aired on FX.
• "UFC on Fuel TV," formerly featured on Fuel TV.
• "UFC on ABC," which was previously shown on ABC.

The majority of numbered events have been distributed via pay-per-view; however, some exceptions occurred due to tape delays impacting international purchase rates, such as UFC 72 in Belfast. To suit prime time audiences in the United States, several events held in various time zones—including UFC 70, 75, 89, 95, 105, 120, 122, and 138—were broadcast live the same night on Spike TV.

Preliminary bouts have been televised across multiple platforms including Spike, FX, Fuel TV, Facebook, and YouTube. Since August 2013 (beginning with UFC Fight Night: Shogun vs. Sonnen), non-pay-per-view events have been shown on Fox Sports channels. From January 2014 onward, international events expanded their reach globally through the subscription-based UFC Fight Pass digital service.

In July 2009, the UFC commemorated its unofficial centennial numbered event with UFC 100—actually the 101st numbered event and the 133rd overall. The promotion’s initial broadcast collaboration started with Fox Sports Net in June 2002 during its "All-Star Summer," featuring UFC's first cable-televised mixed martial arts fight at UFC 37.5 in the United Kingdom.

As of UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs. Hooker (November 22, 2025), the UFC has staged a total of 756 events across 169 cities spanning 32 countries.

Other events

In May 2017, Dana White announced that he would host Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series weekly via UFC Fight Pass, which became exclusive to ESPN+ within the U.S. starting January 2019. Serving a similar function to the earlier series Looking for a Fight, this program focuses on scouting new talent for the UFC. Although it is promoted independently and not branded under the UFC name, it offers upcoming fighters an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities with aspirations of joining the UFC roster.
