Since the rise to superstardom of former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre, Canada has been one of the most important markets for the UFC due to the massive support of fans.

The next time a Canadian MMA fighter steps into the octagon, their UFC odds will be available at the BetMGM online sportsbook. But where can the fans catch all the action? Find out below.

Who Is the Broadcaster of UFC in Canada?

The official broadcaster of the UFC in Canada is Sportsnet, as the two companies signed a multi-year deal in 2023.

This partnership between the UFC and Sportsnet started in 2024 and marked the return of the Las Vegas-based promotion to the network since 2014.

TSN was the previous broadcaster of the UFC before this new Sportsnet deal.

Is the UFC Fight Night a PPV Event?

UFC Fight Night and PPV events are two different cards, as the Fight Night usually occurs weekly and doesn’t have a world title main event on its card.

Fight Night cards are also usually held inside the APEX Center in Las Vegas, but sometimes in various locations. Headliners of such cards are among the ranked contenders in a division.

On the other hand, PPV events, aka numbered events, often feature championship fights as the main event match.

How to Watch the UFC Fight Pass On TV?

To access the UFC Fight Pass on TV, fans should have a subscription and download the app on their TVs.

Fans can go to UFC’s website to subscribe to Fight Pass.

Does the UFC Fight Pass Let You Watch All the Fights?

The UFC Fight Pass won’t let you watch all the fights or all subscribers, specifically the main card fights on PPV events and several Fight Night cards.

However, these fights will be available to air after the PPV card and Fight Night event ends. Additionally, subscribers can enjoy a ton of fights in its library across several sports like kickboxing, grappling, boxing, and Muay Thai, plus the perks of watching the Contender Series.
