UFC 324 is not included with a standard Paramount Plus subscription
UFC 324 will not be available to watch with a regular Paramount Plus membership. The event requires a separate purchase through the UFC's official pay-per-view system, which costs money beyond your streaming subscription. You'll need to buy the pay-per-view through your cable or satellite provider, or through the UFC's own digital platform.
Paramount Plus does carry some UFC content — certain fight replays, documentaries, and behind-the-scenes shows appear on the service. But live pay-per-view events like UFC 324 are sold separately, the same way they have been for years across all platforms. This separation between included content and paid events is standard across the entire sports streaming industry.

- Paramount Plus does carry some UFC content like replays and documentaries, but not live pay-per-view events.
- The cost and availability of pay-per-view events vary by provider and region.
- Replays of UFC 324 typically appear on Paramount Plus within a few days to a week after the live broadcast ends.
Where to buy UFC 324 pay-per-view
If you have cable or satellite TV, your provider's on-screen menu will let you order the event directly through your set-top box. Call your provider's customer service line if you're not sure how to navigate to the pay-per-view section — they can walk you through it or order it for you over the phone. Most providers allow you to order this way without leaving your couch.
The UFC also sells pay-per-view directly through UFC.tv, which streams the event to computers, phones, tablets, and some smart TVs. You create an account, purchase the event, and stream it from any device. This option works whether or not you have a cable subscription, making it useful if you've cut the cord or prefer to watch on a mobile device.
Some third-party streaming platforms that carry UFC events may also offer this particular pay-per-view, but availability depends on your region and which services operate in your area. Check the UFC's official website for a list of where the event is being sold in your location before you commit to purchasing through any single platform.
What Paramount Plus does offer for UFC fans
Paramount Plus carries The Contender, a reality series following fighters training for UFC events, along with fight replays and highlight compilations from past events. The service also has documentaries about MMA history and fighter profiles. These are included with your regular subscription — no extra purchase needed.
If you're looking for live UFC events without paying per event, you would need a subscription to ESPN Plus, which is the UFC's primary streaming home for regular fight nights and some preliminary bouts. ESPN Plus operates separately from Paramount Plus and requires its own subscription. Many fans maintain both subscriptions to access the full range of UFC programming available across platforms.
How pay-per-view pricing works
The cost of a UFC pay-per-view event varies depending on whether you already subscribe to the service carrying it. Through cable or satellite, the price is typically set by your provider. Through UFC.tv, the cost is the same regardless of your location, but the exact amount changes from event to event based on the card's prominence.
Some providers offer discounts if you bundle the pay-per-view with other services or if you're an existing subscriber. It's worth calling your cable or satellite company to ask whether any discount applies before you order. Loyalty discounts and promotional pricing are common, especially during major fight weekends.
Watching on different devices
If you order through your cable or satellite provider, you'll watch on the TV connected to your set-top box. Some providers also let you stream the event to a phone or tablet through their mobile app, but this varies by company — check your provider's website or call them to confirm before you purchase.
If you buy through UFC.tv, you can watch on a computer web browser, read the UFC app on your phone or tablet, or use the app on compatible smart TVs like Roku, Apple TV, or Amazon Fire. The stream quality depends on your internet connection speed, so a wired connection or strong Wi-Fi signal will give you the best experience during the live broadcast.
What to do if you miss the live event
After the live broadcast ends, replays of UFC 324 will eventually appear on Paramount Plus and other platforms, though usually not when ready. The UFC typically makes replays available within a few days to a week, depending on the platform. Check Paramount Plus a few days after the event to see if the full fight card has been added to the service.
You can also purchase the replay through UFC.tv or your cable provider if you want to watch it sooner. The replay purchase price is usually lower than the live pay-per-view price, sometimes by a significant margin. This is a good option if you know you'll be busy during the live event but want to watch the fights without waiting for the free replay window.
