How to Watch UFC on iPhone or iPad

By Lore Apostol / February 23, 2022

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) events are some of the most popular sporting events in the world, and millions of fans watch them every time their favorite fighters enter the arena. UFC enthusiasts can watch fights through a subscription alone or pay extra to watch the pay-per-view (PPV) fights that need to be purchased separately. UFC matches are available on a lot of devices considering its popularity, including iOS, Android, consoles, smart TVs, and streaming devices, so let's see how to watch UFC on iPhone or iPad.

Where to Watch UFC

You can watch UFC fights through the ESPN+ platform or through the UFC Fight Pass service.

UFC Fights on ESPN+

Since UFC Fight Nights are not pay-per-view events, nothing more is required than to subscribe to ESPN+. This subscription will allow you to watch your favorite Fight Nights live. You can either go for the monthly plan, which costs $6.99 per month or the yearly plan and pay $69.99 per year (for a better price overall).

There's also another option besides the standalone ESPN+ subscription - you can save 25% compared to the monthly cost of subscribing separately to each of these three services if you choose to bundle ESPN+, Hulu, and Disney+. The Disney Bundle costs $13.99 per month with ad-supported Hulu or $19.99 with Hulu No Ads. If you're also interested in the PPV events, read below.

UFC PPV Events on ESPN+

New customers can buy their first UFC PPV event through a special deal. So if you're interested in watching the latest UFC PPV event and don't already have an ESPN Plus subscription, you can save over 25% by purchasing the UFC PPV event access bundled with the annual ESPN+ plan for $99.98 (then $69.99 per year after the first year) or a UFC PPV event bundled with The Disney Bundle for $88.98 (then $13.99 per month).

To watch a pay-per-view match, existing ESPN Plus subscribers need to pay a one-time access fee to see the special event, and you can purchase a UFC PPV event live in HD for $74.99. The other option would be to upgrade from a monthly ESPN+ subscription to an annual one and then take advantage of the deal mentioned above by choosing "Upgrade and buy" while logged in.

We should mention that an ESPN+ subscription only allows you to watch the Main Card of a UFC PPV event. So, if you want to see all the bouts, you can go for the UFC Fight Pass subscription. This service offers access to the Early Prelims from the biggest UFC pay-per-view cards along with over 200 live events from promotions such as Invicta FC, GLORY Kickboxing, QUINTET (Team Submission Grappling), Eddie Bravo Invitational, Polaris, and many more for $9.99 per month or $95.99 per year.
