Want to watch UFC & MMA on IPTV in the UK without paying £19.95 per PPV event? This guide covers exactly how to set up IPTV for UFC, which channels to use for numbered events and Fight Night cards, and how to watch every bout from the prelims to the main event — including all PPV events at no extra cost.
The bottom line: IPTVSelect includes UFC Fight Pass and every UFC PPV event in your subscription. No per-event charges. No TNT Sports add-on needed. From £5/month for all UFC and every other sport.
How to Watch UFC on IPTV: Step-by-Step Setup
Setting up IPTV for UFC takes under 10 minutes. Here is exactly what to do before the next numbered event:
- Sign up for IPTVSelect — Start with our free 24-hour trial (no credit card) to test UFC streaming on the next Fight Night. All UFC content is included in every plan — no premium tier needed.
- Install TiviMate on your device — TiviMate is the best IPTV app for UFC. Its 7-day EPG shows upcoming events in the sports category, and you can set reminders for specific fights. It also supports catch-up if the event airs at 3 AM UK time and you prefer to watch the replay.
- Enter your IPTVSelect credentials — M3U URL or Xtream Codes from your welcome email. The full channel list loads automatically.
- Navigate to the UFC channels — UFC content is on TNT Sports 1–2 for the UK broadcast, plus the UFC Fight Pass feed and international ESPN+ PPV feed. These are grouped under Sports in the channel list.
- Join the channel before the prelims start — UK early prelims typically begin at 11 PM-midnight GMT, main card at 3 AM. Join the channel 15 minutes early to check picture quality and settle in before the first fight.

UFC Late-Night Viewing: UK Time Zone Tips
UFC events air late in the UK due to the US time zone difference. Here is what to expect and how to optimise your setup:
- UK timing for US PPV events: Early prelims start around 11 PM-midnight GMT, main card at 3 AM GMT. The main event typically happens around 5–6 AM GMT on Sunday morning
- UK timing for Fight Night cards: These are more varied. APEX cards often start at midnight, international Fight Nights (London, Paris, Abu Dhabi) air at UK-friendly times of 5–10 PM
- Using catch-up: If you cannot stay awake for a 5 AM main event, TiviMate’s catch-up feature lets you watch the full event from the start the next morning. Avoid spoilers by hiding the EPG for the UFC channel group
- Watch the replay without spoilers: TiviMate allows you to open the catch-up stream directly from the EPG without seeing the result. Navigate to the channel, select the past event, and play from the beginning
