UFC 324 is not available on Paramount Plus

UFC 324 took place on February 11, 2024, in Sydney, Australia, and was broadcast on ESPN+ in the United States, not on Paramount Plus. If you have a Paramount Plus subscription, you will not find this event in the app or on the website.

The UFC's broadcasting rights in the U.S. are split between ESPN+ (which carries most pay-per-view events and exclusive fights) and traditional cable channels like ESPN and ABC. Paramount Plus does not currently hold rights to UFC events, so the platform does not stream fights from the main UFC card.

Key Takeaways

  • UFC 324 aired on ESPN+ on February 11, 2024, and is not available through Paramount Plus.
  • ESPN+ holds the primary U.S. broadcasting rights for most UFC pay-per-view events and exclusive fights.
  • Paramount Plus does not carry UFC events as part of its current content agreements.
  • If you want to watch past UFC events, ESPN+ offers a library of previous fights available to subscribers.

Where UFC Events Actually Stream in the U.S.

ESPN+ is the main streaming home for UFC in the United States. The service carries pay-per-view events, exclusive fight nights, and a large archive of past fights. You need an ESPN+ subscription to watch most UFC events, and pay-per-view events typically cost extra on top of the base subscription fee.

Some UFC events also air on traditional ESPN or ABC channels, which means they may be available through cable or through the ESPN app if you have a cable login. The UFC's official website lists which platform will carry each upcoming event, so checking there before fight night is the most reliable way to know where to watch.

Why Paramount Plus Does Not Have UFC

Paramount Plus focuses on entertainment, movies, and some sports content tied to CBS and its parent company Paramount. The UFC signed exclusive streaming deals with ESPN+ years ago, and those agreements give ESPN+ the rights to most events. Paramount Plus has not purchased rights to UFC programming and does not appear to be pursuing them.

Other sports do appear on Paramount Plus—such as some NFL games and college sports—but UFC is not among them. If you are looking for combat sports on Paramount Plus, you may find some boxing or wrestling content, but UFC fights are not part of the platform's catalog.

How to Find UFC Events You Can Actually Watch

The easiest way to know where to watch an upcoming UFC event is to visit UFC.com and look at the event page. It will list the broadcast details, including which platform carries it and whether it is a pay-per-view event. You can also check ESPN+ directly—the app shows upcoming events and lets you purchase pay-per-view fights if they are available.

If you do not have ESPN+, you can sign up for a subscription through the ESPN app or the ESPN+ website. Some cable packages include ESPN+ access, so check your cable provider's app first. If an event is airing on ESPN or ABC instead, you may be able to watch it through those channels' apps or websites with a cable login.

What Happened at UFC 324

UFC 324 took place at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on February 11, 2024. The main event featured Alexander Volkanovski defending his featherweight title against Ilia Topuria. Topuria won the fight by knockout in the second round, becoming the new featherweight champion.

If you missed the event when it aired live, ESPN+ typically keeps pay-per-view events available for replay for a period of time after the broadcast. You can check the ESPN+ app to see if UFC 324 is still available to purchase and watch on demand.

Other Streaming Options for UFC Content

Beyond ESPN+, you can sometimes watch UFC content through the official UFC Fight Pass, though this service is less commonly used in the U.S. since ESPN+ became the primary streaming home. Some international markets have different broadcasting arrangements, so if you are outside the U.S., your options may differ.

Cable and satellite providers like Comcast, DirecTV, and others also carry UFC pay-per-view events through their on-demand systems. If you have cable, you can order fights through your provider's remote or app, though this method is usually more expensive than ordering through ESPN+.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I watch UFC 324 for free anywhere?

No. UFC 324 was a pay-per-view event, so it required a purchase on ESPN+ or through a cable provider. Free clips and highlights may be available on social media or YouTube, but the full fight is not available for free through any official source.

Does Paramount Plus have any UFC content at all?

No. Paramount Plus does not carry UFC events, fight replays, or exclusive UFC programming. If you want to watch UFC content, you will need to use ESPN+ or another platform that holds UFC broadcasting rights.

What if I only have Paramount Plus and want to watch UFC?

You would need to add an ESPN+ subscription. ESPN+ is a separate service from Paramount Plus, though both are owned by parent companies in the larger media landscape. You can sign up for ESPN+ through the ESPN app or website independently of any other streaming service.

Will UFC 324 ever come to Paramount Plus?

It is unlikely. ESPN+ has long-term exclusive rights to UFC in the U.S., and there is no indication that Paramount Plus is pursuing UFC content. Unless those broadcasting agreements change significantly, UFC events will remain on ESPN+.

How much does it cost to watch UFC events on ESPN+?

ESPN+ costs a monthly subscription fee, and pay-per-view events cost extra on top of that. Prices vary and change over time, so check the ESPN+ app for current pricing before you purchase.
