Find your UFC schedule for biggest fights
American fans searching for the UFC schedule through the end of the year now have a clear path. October through November delivers six numbered and numbered-adjacent events, four of them carrying title bouts. The cluster begins in Salt Lake City and ends at Madison Square Garden, giving viewers a tight window of high-stakes matchups before the holiday slowdown.
Salt lake city opens the run
UFC 332 lands first on October 3 at the Delta Center. Natalia Silva meets Wang Cong for the vacant women’s flyweight belt, the first title fight of the stretch. Paramount+ streams the main card at 8 p.m. ET with a CBS simulcast, while prelims begin two hours earlier.
Wang’s history against Valentina Shevchenko in kickboxing adds a storyline that stretches back more than a decade. Silva enters as the higher-ranked contender, yet the vacant strap raises the stakes for both women. A win here sets the division’s direction heading into 2027.
The card also marks the first major UFC event in Salt Lake City in years, shifting attention westward before the Las Vegas triple-header begins the following week.
Middleweights test title waters
Brendan Allen and Christian Leroy Duncan headline the October 10 Fight Night at the Apex. Allen sits at number four, Duncan at ten, so the winner vaults toward a middleweight title shot. Paramount+ again handles the 8 p.m. ET main card.
Duncan’s ten knockouts in fifteen pro wins give him genuine one-punch threat, a variable Allen has not faced in his last three outings. The matchup tests whether technical volume or raw power dictates the next ranking cycle.
Las Vegas hosting consecutive weekends underscores the promotion’s strategy of leaning on the Apex for ranked bouts that do not yet need an arena stage.
Welterweight movement in canada
Joaquin Buckley faces Mike Malott in Edmonton on October 17. Both fighters sit inside the top fifteen, and a decisive finish could reorder the division behind current champion Belal Muhammad. Rogers Place hosts; Paramount+ streams stateside.
Canadian audiences will fill the building, but U.S. viewers gain the same access as every other card on the fall slate. Buckley’s highlight-reel style contrasts with Malott’s measured pressure, promising a stylistic clash that often produces ranking swings.
The event bridges the first two Las Vegas cards and keeps welterweight conversation alive while heavier hitters prepare for Abu Dhabi.
Abu dhabi hosts double titles
UFC 333 on October 24 stacks two championship bouts at Etihad Arena. Alexander Volkanovski defends the featherweight title against undefeated Movsar Evloev, while Petr Yan challenges Merab Dvalishvili for the bantamweight belt. Paramount+ begins coverage at 2 p.m. ET.
Evloev’s recent decision win over Lerone Murphy extended his record and sharpened his claim; Volkanovski returns after a brief injury layoff. The co-main pits two former champions searching for another reign, a rare luxury in a single evening.
Placing both title fights on foreign soil maximizes international pay-per-view numbers without splitting U.S. attention across multiple weekends.
Lightweights close october
Renato Moicano meets Tom Nolan on Halloween at the Apex. Both lightweights carry momentum, and the winner steps closer to the top-five logjam behind champion Islam Makhachev. Paramount+ carries the 8 p.m. ET main card.
Moicano’s veteran savvy meets Nolan’s length and power, a stylistic puzzle that often rewards fight IQ over athleticism. The holiday-weekend slot gives casual viewers an easy entry point before the heavier MSG card.
Three straight Las Vegas weekends also illustrate how the Apex functions as a pressure-release valve when numbered events travel overseas.
Welterweights collide again
Gabriel Bonfim and Sean Brady square off November 7, again at the Apex. Ranked five and six respectively, the winner positions himself as the next title challenger if current champion activity stalls. Paramount+ streams the main card.
Bonfim’s southpaw pressure has produced highlight finishes; Brady’s wrestling chains have neutralized strikers in recent wins. Their meeting tests whether the division’s stylistic split favors grapplers or stand-up technicians in 2026.
The bout caps the fall Las Vegas sequence and clears the stage for the biggest domestic show of the quarter.
Two titles at madison square garden
UFC 334 lands at MSG on November 14. Ciryl Gane defends the heavyweight title against Josh Hokit, while Kayla Harrison faces Amanda Nunes for the women’s bantamweight belt. Paramount+ handles the prime-time main card.
Gane steps in after Tom Aspinall’s injury withdrawal; Hokit’s multiple performance bonuses mark him as a live underdog. The co-main revives a long-delayed super-fight between two former champions, delayed once by Harrison’s injury and once by scheduling.
New York’s marquee venue and dual-title layout ensure the card becomes the quarter’s domestic focal point, driving both gate receipts and streaming numbers.
International swing before year end
November 21 sends the roster to Doha for a Fight Night headlined by Jiri Prochazka against undefeated prospect Navajo Stirling. Paramount+ again streams the main card, giving U.S. audiences a late window before December slowdown.
Prochazka’s experience against younger, longer fighters offers a measuring stick for Stirling’s trajectory. The Qatar stop also keeps the promotion’s Middle East footprint active without another numbered event.
With UFC 335 still TBA for December 12 in Las Vegas, the Doha card functions as the last fully announced slot on the 2026 UFC schedule.
Streaming access stays consistent
Every listed event routes through Paramount+, with numbered cards occasionally simulcast on CBS. Prelim start times range from noon to six p.m. ET depending on international venue, but main cards settle into predictable evening windows for U.S. viewers.
The platform’s exclusive deal removes the guesswork that once accompanied fight-week channel flips. Subscribers gain a single login for every remaining date, from Salt Lake City through Doha.
Consistent distribution also lets fans plan viewing parties around the clustered October and November weekends without juggling multiple services.
Planning the rest of the year
The 2026 UFC schedule funnels four title bouts into seven weeks, then shifts to a December placeholder and a 2027 Sydney event still months away. Fans who lock in Paramount+ now secure every announced card without added cost.
Rankings movement from these fights will shape title pictures heading into next year, particularly at heavyweight and women’s bantamweight, where new champions could emerge inside a single month. The cluster rewards viewers who follow the full run rather than cherry-picking single events.
