Posted: 070219

UFC has announced a deal with ESPN that will see UFC's pay-per-view era with traditional cable providers end. The deal began with April's UFC 236 and will run through 2025. If you want to buy any of the UFC monthly PPV shows you have to get it through ESPN+. The cost per show will go down from $64.99 to $59.99 per event, but you have to be an ESPN+ subscriber ($4.99/mo) in order to be able to watch the shows. The option to buy a $79.99 ESPN+ yearly subscription and PPV event combo is open only to new subscribers. UFC keeps the rights to sell events to bars and restaurants. The companies also announced a two-year extension of their TV rights deal through 2025.
