In addition, the ESPN+ pay-per-view (PPV) package will increase from $124.98 first year, $99.99 for each following year, to $134.98 first year, $109.99 for each following year. The existing UFC standalone price of $79.99 remains the same.

UFC fans will need a subscription to ESPN+ to watch most live events; however, a UFC PPV card, like the upcoming UFC 294 extravaganza that airs on Oct. 21 from Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, will require an additional purchase of $79.99.
The ESPN+ annual plan gives subscribers access to NHL, Formula 1, LALIGA, Bundesliga, UFC, PFL, College Football, College Basketball, and more. It also includes studio series, the complete 30-for-30 Library, ESPN+ Originals, and exclusive insider articles.
