For a two-hour window, UFC 326 will be broadcast on both Paramount+ and CBS.
The network announced on Tuesday that CBS will air its first-ever UFC event on March 7, simulcasting the final hour of the event’s prelims from 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT to 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and the first hour of the main card from 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT to 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT. As usual, the entirety of the UFC 326 lineup will stream on Paramount+.
UFC 326 takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and is headlined by a BMF championship clash between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira. A co-main event has yet to be confirmed for the card after Brian Ortega withdrew from a proposed matchup against Renato Carneiro. As it currently stands, it appears that Rob Font vs. Raul Rosas Jr. and Gregory Rodrigues vs. Bruno Ferreira would be the main card fights to air on CBS.
If the promotion sticks to its usual bout order, the Holloway-Oliveira rematch will not make the CBS portion of the broadcast. However, the lineup has not been officially confirmed at this point in time. When the UFC announced the seven-year, $7.7 billion media rights partnership with Paramount, the ability to simulcast some events on CBS was built into the agreement.
Special Programming
It was also announced that a one-hour special entitled “This is the UFC” will air on Feb. 20 on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The program will chronicle the “UFC’s rise from underground spectacle to global powerhouse” and will feature conversations with Dana White and various fighters. The special will be hosted by UFC reporter Megan Olivi and Survivor 45 winner Dee Valladares. The UFC’s debut on Paramount+ will also be highlighted.
