For fans around the world, the question is simple: how can you ensure you don’t miss a second of the action, all while supporting the sport legally and safely? We’ve got you covered. Forget sketchy, unreliable streams; here’s your definitive guide to watching UFC 322 legally.The Primary Source: ESPN+ in the U.S.
In the United States, ESPN is the exclusive home of the UFC. For all Pay-Per-View (PPV) events, the streaming process is streamlined through the ESPN+ platform.Here’s how it works:- Get an ESPN+ Subscription: If you don’t have one already, you’ll need to subscribe to ESPN+. This is your base ticket to a huge library of live sports, UFC Fight Nights, and original content.
- Purchase the PPV: The UFC 322 main card is a separate purchase. On the night of the event, you can buy it directly through the ESPN+ app or website. The current standard price is $79.99.
- The Best Deal: The UFC PPV Bundle: If you’re a frequent viewer, the most cost-effective way is to purchase the UFC PPV Pack through ESPN+. This bundle often includes an annual ESPN+ subscription and a discount on all UFC PPV events for the year, saving you money in the long run.
- Smart TVs & Streaming Devices: Apps on Samsung, LG, Vizio, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Chromecast.
- Gaming Consoles: PlayStation 4/5 and Xbox Series X|S/One.
- Mobile & Web: Watch directly on the ESPN app (iOS/Android) or on ESPN.
International Viewers: Your Local Broadcast Partners
The UFC has a global network of broadcast partners. Where you live determines the best legal service to use.- Canada: The event will be available on UFC PPV on UFC Fight Pass or through traditional cable/satellite providers like Bell, Rogers, and Shaw.
- United Kingdom & Ireland: TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport) is the home of the UFC. You can stream the event live through the TNT Sports app or website if you have a subscription through your TV provider (Sky, Virgin Media) or a direct monthly pass.
- Australia: The primary destination is Kayo Sports. Kayo offers both a monthly subscription and the option to purchase the PPV event. Main Event on Foxtel is also a traditional option.
- Latin America: Look for the event on ESPN via local cable providers or the streaming service Star+.
- Mainland Europe: Services like DAZN (in Germany, Austria, Spain, Italy, etc.) or RMC Sport (France) often hold the broadcasting rights.
The Global Option: UFC Fight Pass
UFC Fight Pass is the UFC’s own dedicated streaming service, but its role for PPVs varies by region.- In the U.S. & Canada: Fight Pass will typically carry the early prelims. To watch the entire main card and co-main events, you will still need to purchase the PPV through ESPN+ (U.S.) or your cable provider (Canada).
- In Select International Regions: For countries without a major broadcast partner, UFC Fight Pass is often the sole legal source to purchase and stream the PPV event directly. Check your region’s status on the website.
Why Going Legal is the Best Move
While illegal streams may seem tempting, they come with significant downsides:- Superior Quality & Reliability: Enjoy the fight in high definition or even 4K without constant buffering, dropouts, or the stream being shut down mid-main event.
- Support the Sport: Your purchase directly supports the athletes, production crews, and the organization, ensuring the sport continues to grow.
- Safety & Security: Illegal streams are often riddled with malicious pop-up ads, phishing scams, and malware that can compromise your devices.
- Enhanced Features: Legal streams often offer multiple camera angles, expert commentary, and pre/post-fight analysis you can’t get elsewhere.
