If at first you don’t succeed…
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently changed broadcast partners, moving from ESPN pay-per-view (PPV) to Paramount+ (and sometimes CBS). But that’s not the only big change ahead of the UFC 324 fight card, which takes place this Sat. night (Jan. 24, 2026) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Events are also moving to a new start time of 9 p.m. ET.
That holds true for both numbered events and “Fight Night” cards, which in turn affects the start time for the preliminary cards — ranging from 5 p.m. ET to 6 p.m. ET, depending on the lineup. Check our UFC schedules page for specific start times on each card, but 9 p.m. ET for the main card is a lock.
“You’re going to start to see us popping up in more places in entertainment and stuff like that,” White told Las Vegas Weekly. “Paramount and CBS are so fired up about being in business with us, which is what I love. People talk about the money, but I never look at the money or any of that s**t. We’re going to end up with money no matter where we end up. I look at how enthusiastic the Paramount and CBS people are to have the UFC.”
