Find the UFC schedule for events near you this season
Fans hunting for live fights without a passport are eyeing the fall 2026 slate, which packs the bulk of its cards into three American cities and one Canadian neighbor. The UFC schedule places Las Vegas, New York, and Edmonton front and center, giving domestic audiences clear choices on travel time, ticket tiers, and broadcast windows.
Las Vegas as default hub
Four of the next seven events land at either the Meta APEX or T-Mobile Arena. The cluster keeps locals inside a single metro area and lets regional fans fly in and out on the same weekend without extra hotel nights.
October 10 opens the run with Brendan Allen against Christian Leroy Duncan at the APEX. Two more APEX cards follow on October 31 and November 7, while the year closes at T-Mobile on December 12.
Paramount+ streams every card, with main card start times fixed at 8 p.m. ET for APEX shows and 10 p.m. ET for the larger T-Mobile event.
Edmonton draws cross-border traffic
October 17 shifts the spotlight to Rogers Place in Alberta. Joaquin Buckley meets Mike Malott in the welterweight main event, and the 2 p.m. ET start time makes it easy for Pacific Northwest fans to watch live without staying up past midnight.
The card sits only one week after the first Vegas show, giving ticket holders a quick turnaround option if they want back-to-back weekends of fights.
Customs waits are minimal for U.S. passport holders, and Rogers Place has hosted enough UFC events that local logistics feel routine.
New York gets its annual showcase
November 14 moves the promotion to Madison Square Garden for UFC 334. Ciryl Gane defends the heavyweight title against Josh Hokit, and the card usually adds at least one women’s title fight.
MSG remains the only U.S. arena outside Las Vegas that guarantees a numbered event each calendar year. Northeast fans avoid another transcontinental trip, and the venue’s subway lines keep post-fight transit simple.
Tickets historically sell out within hours of the public on-sale, so early alerts from the UFC app remain the safest route.
Streaming windows for cord-cutters
Paramount+ carries every listed date. The service staggers start times to match venue location, with Abu Dhabi’s October 24 card kicking off at 2 p.m. ET and the domestic shows running later.
Subscribers also get the full prelim slate, a detail that matters for fans tracking prospects who rarely appear on linear television.
Prices stay flat at the standard monthly rate, so no event-specific upsells appear in the current UFC schedule.
Abu Dhabi as the lone outlier
UFC 333 lands at Etihad Arena on October 24. Alexander Volkanovski challenges for the featherweight belt in a matchup that will stream at the same 2 p.m. ET window used for Edmonton.
U.S. viewers who want the numbered-event atmosphere without the New York price tag often choose this card, though travel logistics push it outside the “near me” category for most domestic fans.
The venue’s time-zone advantage keeps the broadcast friendly to East Coast afternoon viewing, a factor that regularly boosts pay-per-view numbers.
Ticket tiers and resale notes
APEX cards offer the lowest price bracket, often under $100 for upper-level seats. MSG and T-Mobile prices start higher and climb quickly once resale platforms activate.
StubHub and Vivid Seats list verified tickets the moment the UFC on-sale window closes, but service fees can exceed face value on headline bouts.
Season ticket packages for Las Vegas remain available through the UFC’s direct portal, giving repeat visitors a hedge against dynamic pricing.
Weather and travel timing
October and November weather in Las Vegas and New York stays mild enough for arena-only trips. Edmonton can dip below freezing, so fans flying in should carry layers even if the Rogers Place dome keeps the inside comfortable.
Direct flights to Edmonton from Seattle and Minneapolis run daily, cutting total travel time for those markets below four hours door-to-door.
Airlines sometimes add fight-night schedules; checking carrier apps the week of the event can surface extra red-eye options that save a vacation day.
Local buzz and social chatter
Edmonton hashtags spike every time Rogers Place appears on the UFC schedule, with local bars advertising 11 a.m. openings for the early card. New York fans trade subway route tips on Reddit the night before MSG events.
Vegas influencers post hotel block discounts aimed at repeat APEX attendees, creating informal group rates that rarely appear on official booking sites.
These pockets of conversation give first-time visitors practical intel that ticket confirmations alone do not cover.
Season outlook
The 2026 calendar keeps the UFC schedule anchored in North America for the final quarter, with Las Vegas handling volume, New York handling prestige, and Edmonton serving as the accessible border stop. Fans who map the dates now can lock in travel and streaming plans before the holiday rush compresses availability.
