We’re still six months away from this historic and one-of-a-kind UFC White House event, and while the lineup remains a mystery, key details are finally starting to take shape.
with the president of the united states Donald Trump Promotion of the card could feature “eight or nine” title fights – and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) CEO Dana White Calling it “the worst card ever” – some fans are wondering if this is a rare card worthy of a standalone pay-per-view (PPV). No. The event will be broadcast exclusively on Paramount+, the UFC’s new broadcast platform.

“The card will not be on CBS, it will be 100% on Paramount+,” White told TheMacLife. “Maybe we might have some prelims on CBS, but it’ll be on Paramount. Listen, we’re on Paramount+. There will be some fights on CBS, but we’re on Paramount+.”
While Trump has put forward big numbers regarding the amount of gold on the card, White has made it clear there’s nothing official and he won’t start matching until February 2026.
“What I told the president is we’re going to send a ridiculous card to the White House,” White said.
Another key detail was finally confirmed by the president and chief operating officer of TKO Group Holdings Mark Shapiro During the UBS Global Media and Communications Conference: no tickets sold at all.

“It’s going to be a spectacle. If we think of the sphere as a spectacle, then this is a wonderful spectacle,” Shapiro said. Advertisement
With UFC brass still assembling the roster, one thing is certain: Fans will not be attending the event in person at the White House venue. Spectators will reportedly be able to watch the game on a large outdoor screen at a park near the National Mall.
UFC White House will be a spectacle — just maybe not the one fans expect.
