How to check UFC early prelims, prelims and the main card

Read the organiser’s event-specific watch guide before choosing a feed or buying access.

Find the exact card in the UFC event directory, then open its watch information. Early prelims, prelims and the main card have separate start times and can have different distribution. A platform listing only one segment tells you little about the remainder of the event.

Identify each part of the card

Write down the event title, date and your viewing country. Check the name of each segment in the organiser’s listing, then open the local broadcaster’s matching entry. If that service advertises a different start time, confirm whether it means pre-show coverage or the first fight in that segment.

Confirm live or replay access before paying

For later viewing, search for the replay of the card segment you want. A highlight reel or pre-fight programme may carry the same event artwork. If the provider shows a separate checkout, read the event and access terms on that screen before committing.
