Reception options at a glance
You want to follow the UFC Fight Nights and fight events in live stream or TV? There are several ways to do this in Germany. We introduce them to you.
A few years ago, the UFC’s “cage fighters” were decried as “brutalists” in this country, but the picture has since changed. The martial arts scene is also growing in Germany – not least because of stars like Conor McGregor.
from 24.99 euros per month*Advertisement
The fights cannot be seen on free TV, but UFC fans in Germany do not have to do without live pictures. The Fight Nights in this country can be followed via DAZN and UFC.TV.
The fights at DAZN
DAZN is the go-to streaming provider when it comes to martial arts in Germany. He holds the exclusive rights in this country and streams every fight. Highlights, best-ofs and interviews about the fights are also uploaded to the website.

The uniform and “Netflix-like” design of DAZN should also convince experienced television viewers of the advantages of a sports streaming service. For football fans there is no way to…
- Cost per month: from 9.99 euros
- Monthly cancellable?: ✔ Yes
- Parallel streams (maximum): 2
- Streaming quality (maximum): Full HD
The “Unlimited” or “Standard” package is required for reception. In addition to martial arts, it also includes live streams from the sports areas football, NFL and NBA.
Does DAZN show the Fight Nights and events?
Fortunately, DAZN offers both the Fights Nights and the main events in the subscription packages mentioned. How are Fight Nights different from the Main Events? The Fight Nights are the regular fights of even lesser-known faces who are still at the beginning of their careers. In the main events, on the other hand, the stars of the fighting scene compete – Connor McGregor or Khabib Nurmagomedov.
You can distinguish the fights from the title. The event fights are associated with UFC and a number that sort of shows the number of past events. The Fight Nights are only listed with the title “Fight Night” in the program.
DAZN standard via TV streaming services
If you don’t have a DAZN account, you can subscribe directly to DAZN or – which is usually cheaper – subscribe to a streaming service that includes DAZN. The DAZN standard subscription is usually integrated there. All options for receiving DAZN can be found below.
UFC Fight Pass as an alternative to DAZN
In addition to DAZN, there is also the option of using the UFC Fight Pass. The league’s own broadcaster also streams all fights with original commentary. You also get the chance to see exclusive series and shows about martial arts.

Compared to DAZN you have comparatively less content, but you also have to pay less. The monthly subscription costs EUR 9.99 and the annual subscription EUR 85.99. You can also book day passes for individual events. You can access UFC.tv on many devices. This includes smartphones, tablets and laptops and PC browsers.
Watch the fights for free in the live stream via VPN – is that legal?
The UFC isn’t only broadcast on pay TV all over the world. The Russian free TV broadcaster MatchTV, for example, often shows fights for free and also streams them on the Internet. However, access is not possible with a country block from Germany. With the help of a VPN service you can bypass this and you have the opportunity to follow the fights for free. But is that legal?
The use of VPNs is not prohibited in Germany. However, using these to access sports broadcasts from abroad is a legal gray area. Therefore, using a VPN in this way should be viewed with caution.
Free replays on YouTube
The UFC also uploads many full-length fights to their YouTube channel. You can also see highlights, clips and press conferences there. An inexpensive alternative for anyone who can wait a bit or doesn’t need to see every fight.
