The next major UFC event is just around the corner! We're sure you can't wait to watch those fights, and we're here to help you explain how to watch 'UFC 256: Figueiredo vs. Moreno' on Kodi.
Just like it happens with any high-profile PPV event, you'll need to jump through some hoops to live-stream it outside of their source platforms. However, in terms of streaming UFC 256 on Kodi, we have a couple of (legal and safe) addons at our disposal.
So, let's waste no more time. Here's everything you need to know about streaming the upcoming UFC event on Kodi, explained for our readers from the USA, as well as worldwide.
Here's How to Watch UFC 256: Figueiredo vs. Moreno on Kodi (via a VPN) - Step-by-Step Guide
First, we'll give you an in-depth overview of watching the upcoming UFC event on Kodi. However, make sure to read this entire article to learn more about each of the following steps.
Here's our step-by-step guide on how to watch UFC 256: Figueiredo vs. Moreno via Kodi.
- First and foremost, decide on which platform's you'd like to use. When it comes to watching UFC 256, you can choose from DAZN or Sling TVÂ (subscription-based services).
- If you're not in a country where DAZN and Sling TV operate, you'll need a VPNÂ (required for signing-up and streaming UFC 256). You should go with ExpressVPN.
- Make sure that you have ExpressVPN installed on your device. Keep in mind that Kodi and ExpressVPN operate as two independent applications (they're not integrated, per se).
- Then, launch Kodi and install DAZN and/or Sling (we've provided the instructions below).
- Once the time comes, launch ExpressVPN and connect to a corresponding server. For example, if you want to stream UFC 256 via DAZN, connect to a server in a country you used to sign up for your DAZN account.
- The same applies to Sling TV. If you want to stream UFC 256 prelims, connect to a server in the USA, and then launch Sling on your Kodi. This will allow you to access ESPN channels.
- That's it! Feel free to switch between ExpressVPN's servers at any moment - and that's how you'll get to unblock DAZN or Sling TV via Kodi from anywhere in the world.
Do You Need a VPN to Stream UFC 256: Figueiredo vs. Moreno? Which One Should You Use?
Using a VPN will give plenty of freedom when watching UFC 256 via Kodi. Let's explain why.
As you can see, you have two options in front of you right now - DAZN and Sling. If you're a Kodi user, those two addons are the only Kodi addons that'll allow you to stream UFC 256. However, they come with geo-restrictions.
While DAZN is available in a group of select countries, the Sling addon relies on Sling TV - available in the United States only. Depending on your location, you'll need to jump over these geo-restrictions, which is where VPN services come into play.
By using a VPN, you'll get to connect to any country's server, and therefore access certain platforms. For example, you can use a US-based server to sign-up for Sling TV and then stream UFC 256 on Kodi by using the Sling addon.
In the same way, you can use a server located in Germany, Italy, or Spain to sign up for DAZN. Then, you use that same server to stream UFC 256's main card via the DAZN Kodi addon.
Where to Watch UFC 256 Online? Which Kodi Addons Should You Use to Stream UFC 256?
In this segment, we'll tell you which broadcasters and streaming services offer UFC 256. And later on, we'll translate that into useful information regarding which Kodi addons you can use.
With that said, we've focused on regions where UFC is hugely popular. So, check out the list of countries and supported services via the following table.
So, Which Kodi Addons Can You Use to Stream UFC 256 Live?
As you can see, our goal here is to cover the following services and TV channels: UFC Fight Pass, ESPN (a range of channels), and DAZN. With that said, know that we have some good news and some bad news as well.
The good news is that Kodi offers add-ons related to DAZN and ESPN. Sadly, there's no Kodi addon that could let you access UFC Fight Pass. So, if you're keen on using that service, your best bet is to access it via its website or a dedicated app.
We recommend using two Kodi addons to stream UFC 256 live: DAZN and Sling. That way, you're covered when it comes to DAZN (in select countries) and ESPN channels (via Sling TV).
1. DAZN
Without any doubt, DAZN is one of the most popular sports streaming services in many countries. If you're in any of this platform's supported countries, know that you'll have a dedicated place for your UFC-related needs. Of course, you can also watch DAZN from anywhere in the world by using a VPN service (check the link above).
It's worth noting that DAZN has been spending plenty of money attracting UFC fights to the platform (in select countries), and we expect this trend to continue in the future. It means that via DAZN, you can watch live UFC events as well as original programmings - like Countdown, The Ultimate Fighter, Road to Octagon, and more.
Here’s How to Install DAZN on Kodi – Step-by-Step Guide
- While on Kodi’s home screen, click on the 'magnifying glass' icon.
- Make sure to select 'Search Add-ons.'

2. Sling
Sling TV is a US-based cord-cutting platform. It allows you to access a large number of channels from anywhere in the country for a low monthly fee. More precisely, a plan priced at $30/month lets you access ESPN channels, which comes in handy for watching UFC events.
To access Sling TV on Kodi, you need to use an addon named 'Sling.' This is an unofficial addon - but it's completely safe and legal. To use, you need to have an active Sling TV subscription, so make sure to subscribe first. From there on, watching TV live via Kodi will be a piece of cake.
Here’s How to Install Sling TV on Kodi – Step-by-Step Guide
- Visit Sling’s GitHub page. Click on the 'Code' button and select 'Download ZIP.'
- Now, launch Kodi and click on 'Add-ons' using the main menu.
- Then, click on the open box icon found in the top-left corner.
- Select 'Install from ZIP file.'
- A pop-up will appear, so make sure to find and click on the freshly downloaded ZIP file.
