Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, and TKO Group Holdings,
Inc., a premium sports and entertainment company, today
announced a long-term media rights agreement in which
Paramount+ will become the exclusive home of Zuffa Boxing
throughout the U.S., Canada, and Latin America.
Zuffa Boxing is the new professional boxing promotion formed
by TKO and leading entertainment conglomerate Sela, with
leadership from UFC President and CEO Dana White; HE Turki
Alalshikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority
and President of the Saudi Boxing Federation; Sela Managing
Director and CEO Dr. Rakan Alharthy; and WWE President and
TKO Board Member Nick Khan.
Beginning in January 2026, Paramount will exclusively
distribute a full slate of Zuffa Boxing events starting with
12 action-packed cards, with plans to grow that number in
subsequent years. The bouts will be available via
Paramount’s direct-to-consumer streaming platform
Paramount+, with the potential for select events to be
simulcast on CBS, America’s leading broadcast network, and
other Paramount platforms.
Dana White commented: “I’m excited to bring great boxing
events to a global audience. There are millions of boxing
fans that will now be able to watch competitive fights with
up-and-coming boxers as well as the biggest stars in the
sport. Paramount will be the home for UFC and boxing fans to
watch the greatest fights in combat sports.”
