The UFC’s TNT Sports deal dominates UK MMA viewing but is not the full picture. PFL holds a UK distribution agreement, ONE Championship streams on Amazon Prime Video, Cage Warriors is the leading UK regional promotion, and the European regional scene runs through UFC Fight Pass.
The six active MMA promotions with UK distribution
Professional Fighters League (PFL). PFL’s UK distribution runs through Discovery+ / TNT Sports as part of the broader TNT MMA portfolio. The PFL regular season and championship rounds stream live. PFL acquired Bellator MMA in late 2023; the combined operation continues to schedule events under the PFL brand.
ONE Championship. ONE streams live in the UK on Amazon Prime Video, included with the standard Prime membership at £8.99 per month. The ONE schedule runs primarily from Thailand and Singapore, with UK prime-time slots typically late Saturday morning UK time (Saturday evening local time in Asia).
Bellator MMA (legacy). The Bellator catalogue is owned by PFL after the 2023 merger. The pre-2024 Bellator library is on UFC Fight Pass for UK subscribers as part of the back catalogue.
Cage Warriors (UK). The leading UK regional MMA promotion runs through UFC Fight Pass at £6.99 monthly. Cage Warriors is the UK’s primary UFC feeder league and has produced multiple UFC champions including Conor McGregor.
KSW (Poland). Europe’s largest MMA promotion by attendance. Streams live on UFC Fight Pass for UK viewers.
Brave CF (Bahrain). Middle East and Asia-based regional promotion. Live on UFC Fight Pass for UK subscribers.
Subscription map for non-UFC MMA in the UK
| Promotion | UK service | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| PFL | Discovery+ Premium | £30.99/mo (also gets UFC) |
| ONE Championship | Amazon Prime Video | £8.99/mo |
| Cage Warriors | UFC Fight Pass | £6.99/mo |

A complete non-UFC MMA viewing setup for UK viewers is Discovery+ Premium plus Amazon Prime plus UFC Fight Pass, totalling roughly £47 per month. Note that Discovery+ Premium also covers UFC, so this is the practical all-in cost for full MMA viewing across the major promotions.
What changed with the PFL–Bellator merger
PFL completed its Bellator acquisition in November 2023. The combined entity controls two of the four largest MMA promotions in the world by event count. Going forward, events run under the PFL banner on Discovery+. The Bellator brand for new events has largely been retired, with the strongest Bellator fighters absorbed into the PFL season tournament structure.
The pre-2024 Bellator catalogue — roughly 350 events — is accessible through UFC Fight Pass as back-library content.
ONE Championship UK access
ONE’s Asian schedule produces live cards in UK prime-time every two to three weeks. The headline events stream on Amazon Prime Video as part of the standard Prime membership at £8.99 monthly, with no PPV add-on. ONE’s mixed combat-sports portfolio (MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing) all sits on Prime under the same access.
Cage Warriors UK in context
Cage Warriors stages roughly 20 to 25 events per year across UK and European venues. The promotion’s UFC feeder relationship means most UK MMA prospects pass through Cage Warriors before signing UFC contracts. UFC Fight Pass at £6.99 monthly is the only UK route to live Cage Warriors broadcasts; the events sometimes appear on YouTube as delayed-replay content but the live broadcast is Fight Pass exclusive.
