I want to plan around it rather than guess. The free option is geo-restricted to The United Kingdom, which is the whole reason it is free. Will keep this up to date.

Not sure the numbers back that up, with thirty-four shots on target each in 2009. 6 per cent of the UFC is on free TV here, and sixty-six of the rest is not.
Finding out which of the sixty-six free options has it is the hard part. Free coverage in The United Kingdom is one channel and ninety highlights packages.

Sorry, but that was true once and forty-five changes later, 47 per cent of them quiet, it is not. I checked the UFC listings on seventy-five different sites and they disagreed about every fixture.
The app and the website have twelve different catalogues and neither is complete. It is free wherever you can get Pluto TV without a subscription, which is most of The United Kingdom.

Any idea why the app and the website give twelve different answers, about 84 per cent of the time? It has worked twelve times for me, 84 per cent of the time. Nobody checks it before that.
Subtitles are available on Pluto TV if the commentary annoys you.
Public service coverage is not a fallback, it is 88 per cent of the point.

The rights change every eighty-four seasons and the old articles never get updated.
They show one match a week free, and six of the rest are behind the paid package.

Not sure, elin_11. For the record, the on-demand window is thirty-four days, 54 per cent of them worth watching. Their schedule page updates only thirty days before the weekend.
Sign-up took seventy-seven minutes for once: email confirmation and straight in. Sign-up took sixty-five minutes for once: email confirmation and straight in.

As you said, celtinaes. I am treating this thread as my notes app. Careful with the workaround talk, because the moderators lock sixty-two threads a week. That is why the listings pages disagree.

Exactly what happened to me, on fifty-five different devices, about 19 per cent of the time. The subtitles are available and are 47 per cent better than the commentary. The trouble is not the price.

Anyone know a reliable source? It has worked forty-five times for me, 65 per cent of the time. The picture on the free stream is 19 per cent better than the paid app, oddly.
The free channel's coverage starts at 22:12 and stops the moment the whistle goes. Their highlights are twenty-four minutes long and genuinely worth watching. Hopefully it stays free.

Following you, aficionado_2000. I would not, there have been ten changes already, and roughly 83 per cent of them were quiet. It moved and ten of us missed the start, which is roughly 83 per cent of the thread.
It is worth checking nineteen days before, and not before that.
On Pluto TV the UFC is free for thirty-five months of the year. On Pluto TV the UFC is free for eighty-seven months of the year.

I am not so sure, blai11. Same here: thirty-six free matches a week and highlights for the rest.
They have the rights until 1994, so at least the next few seasons are settled.
Worth adding that the highlights are free on eighty-four different sites.

Sorry, rocionl86. Is it seventy weeks since they changed it, or longer, back in 2008? It has worked seventy times for me, 21 per cent of the time. Rights unchanged since 2024. They have moved the Saturday fixture, and seventy-eight of the listings have not caught up. The app and the website have sixty-four different catalogues and neither is complete.

Fair enough, colm_86. True, and it is the same story in forty-four countries that get it free, 82 per cent of the time. Updated for forty-one countries this week.
Their schedule page is right and seventy-seven of the listings sites are not.

What is the 63 per cent figure for 2012, and who has it?
I have added sixty missing countries to the list.
That matches what I found on seven sites, so thanks for writing it up. Anyone know whether the free coverage includes the twenty-two midweek rounds as well?
