Paramount, a Skydance Corp (PSKY) and UFC, the mixed martial arts organization, on Thursday said they expanded their media rights partnership to make Paramount+ the exclusive home of UFC Numbered Event main cards in Canada for six years beginning in 2027.
The deal will give Paramount+ subscribers in Canada live access to all 13 marquee UFC Numbered Event main cards annually at no additional cost. Numbered Events, traditionally known as pay-per-views, typically feature championship bouts.
The agreement expands on a seven-year, multi-territory UFC rights deal announced in 2025 and makes Paramount+ the exclusive streaming destination for UFC in North America, Latin America and Australia.
"Beginning in 2027, Paramount+ subscribers in Canada will get every UFC Numbered Event main card live, at no additional cost," UFC Chief Executive Dana White said.
Paramount+ Head of Direct-To-Consumer in Latin America and Canada Rodrigo Mazin said the expansion lets the company serve a "deeply engaged MMA audience".
On the Nasdaq, shares of Paramount are currently gaining 1.15 percent, changing hands at $10.57.
