The Ultimate Fighting Championship extended its multi-year UK and Ireland broadcast partnership with BT Sport, covering all of the promotion’s live events, including UFC Fight Nights, and other shoulder programs.
UFC PPV events will be accessible through the BT Sport Box Office service.
BT Sport has been the UFC's UK broadcast partner since 2013, with the most recent extension coming in 2019 after the organization agreed to a deal with Eleven that eventually fell through.
The pact is the network's first big rights renewal since it completed its joint venture agreement with Warner Brothers Discovery earlier this month.
Following a three-year break, the UFC conducted its first UK event in March, with the Fight Night event headlined by Alexander Volkov versus Tom Aspinoll at the O2 Arena in London, and will return to the same site in July.
UFC president Dana White said they were blown away by the awesome response from the fans at their London event earlier this year, adding that their roster of talent from the UK and Ireland is the strongest it’s ever been.
