Mixed martial arts is a fragmented sport. Unlike soccer or basketball, MMA does not have a single league — there are competing promotions with separate fighter rosters, separate rules wrinkles, and separate broadcast deals. The US streaming map below covers the five promotions that account for nearly all televised pro MMA in the country, plus where to find the smaller regional cards.
UFC — ESPN+
The UFC is the largest MMA promotion globally and accounts for roughly 75% of US televised pro MMA viewing. Every UFC event in the US streams on ESPN+ ($11.99/month), with numbered pay-per-view main cards behind a separate $79.99 PPV charge. The UFC’s full streaming setup is covered on our dedicated UFC streaming page.
Bellator MMA — DAZN
Bellator was historically the second-largest MMA promotion in the US, airing on Showtime through 2023. Showtime exited combat sports that year, and Bellator was acquired by the Professional Fighters League (PFL) in late 2023. Bellator now streams on DAZN as part of the standard $24.99/month subscription, with no separate pay-per-view structure for the bulk of its cards. Bellator events run roughly monthly, with grand-prix tournament finals headlining the calendar.
The future of the Bellator brand is in flux post-acquisition; PFL has indicated it will keep the Bellator name on certain marquee events while folding the rest of the roster into the PFL calendar. Check DAZN’s combat sports schedule for the latest event titles.
PFL (Professional Fighters League) — ESPN and DAZN
PFL runs a unique season-tournament format with a $1 million prize at the end of each weight-class tournament. PFL events split between two streaming homes in 2025-26:
- PFL season events (the regular tournament rounds) stream on ESPN+ in the US under the deal that has been in place since 2021.
- PFL post-acquisition cards including merged Bellator events stream on DAZN.
This split sometimes makes it confusing which PFL event is on which platform. The card-by-card breakdown is announced 4-6 weeks before each event by PFL. The PFL Champions League (a new format introduced in 2024) is the marquee post-season tournament.
ONE Championship — Amazon Prime Video
ONE Championship is the largest MMA promotion based in Asia, with significant kickboxing and Muay Thai content alongside MMA cards. US viewers can watch ONE events through two channels:
- Amazon Prime Video carries select ONE events live in the US under the deal signed in 2022, including the ONE on Prime Video series headlined for US audiences with prime time start slots.
- Watch.OneFC.com, ONE’s direct-to-consumer streaming service, carries the full event calendar including the Friday morning ET cards that originate from Singapore, Bangkok, and other Asian markets. The Watch ONE subscription is $4.99/month for the basic tier.
If you only watch ONE occasionally and already have Amazon Prime, the Prime Video coverage is sufficient. For full access to the calendar including the Asian-time-zone cards, Watch.OneFC.com is the route.
BKFC (Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship) — BKFC TV
Bare Knuckle FC is the largest bare-knuckle boxing promotion in the US and runs roughly 10-12 events per year. BKFC events stream on BKFC TV, the promotion’s direct subscription service, with select events also distributed through DAZN under a partnership signed in 2023. The BKFC TV subscription is $9.99/month, with PPV events sold separately at $39.99-$49.99 per card.
While BKFC is technically boxing rather than MMA, it shares an audience and overlapping fighter rosters with MMA promotions, which is why it is included on this page rather than the boxing schedule page.
Regional and amateur cards — UFC Fight Pass
Smaller regional MMA promotions in the US — Cage Fury Fighting Championships (CFFC), Tachi Palace Fights, Combate Global, and others — distribute through a mix of UFC Fight Pass ($9.99/month) and the PFL Challenger Series (on ESPN+). Fight Pass is the broadest archive of regional content, including amateur and small-purse pro cards that serve as the feeder system for the major promotions.
What is not on US streamers
Several international MMA promotions have inconsistent or limited US distribution:
- RIZIN (Japan) — occasional events on Watch.OneFC.com or on YouTube pay-per-view. Many cards are not available legally to US viewers.
- KSW (Poland) — sporadic distribution through DAZN in select years; no consistent home in 2025-26.
- ACA (Russia) — limited US availability since 2022.
For events not on the streamers above, the only legal route is the promotion’s own direct subscription if it offers one. Several do not.
The cheapest legal MMA schedule
For viewers who want most televised pro MMA in the US:
- UFC only: ESPN+ at $11.99/month, plus the cost of any PPVs you choose to buy.
- UFC + Bellator/PFL: ESPN+ at $11.99/month plus DAZN at $24.99/month. Total: roughly $37/month.
- Add ONE Championship: Amazon Prime Video at $14.99/month (or already included if you’re a Prime member for other reasons).
- Add the archive and regional cards: UFC Fight Pass at $9.99/month.
A viewer subscribing to all four — ESPN+, DAZN, Prime, Fight Pass — is paying roughly $62/month for near-complete legal coverage of US-televised pro MMA, before any PPV add-ons.
