Conor McGregor is finally back. After nearly five years away from the Octagon, “The Notorious” returns to face Max Holloway in a blockbuster welterweight rematch at UFC 329 on Saturday, July 11, 2026, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The first meeting happened way back in 2013, and fight fans have waited more than a decade for the sequel. The best part? Watching it live is easier and cheaper than ever.
This guide covers every legal way to stream UFC 329 online, no matter where you are in the world.
UFC 329 Quick Overview
Before we get into the streaming options, here are the essential event details you need to plan your fight night.

This card lands during the UFC’s annual International Fight Week, which makes it one of the biggest events on the entire 2026 calendar.

How to Stream UFC 329 Live: Step-by-Step Guide
The biggest change for 2026 is that UFC numbered events in the United States are no longer sold as pay-per-views.
Paramount+ is now the exclusive US home of the UFC under a massive seven-year rights deal, and every numbered card, including UFC 329, is included with a standard subscription. No extra $79.99 fee.
Here is exactly how to set everything up.
Step 1: Sign Up for Paramount+
Head to the Paramount+ website and create an account. You have two plan options, and both include the full UFC 329 card from the early prelims to the main event:
- Paramount+ Essential: Around $8.99 per month, includes every UFC event with limited ads on general content
- Paramount+ Premium: Around $13.99 per month, adds your live local CBS station, SHOWTIME content, and fewer ads
You do not need the Premium tier to watch the fights. Essential covers the entire card, which makes it the cheapest legal route to McGregor vs. Holloway 2.
Step 2: Download the Paramount+ App
The Paramount+ app is available on virtually every modern device:
- Smart TVs (Samsung, LG, Vizio, Sony)
- Streaming devices (Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast)
- Game consoles (PlayStation, Xbox)
- Mobile devices (iOS and Android)
- Web browsers on desktop and laptop
Step 3: Find the UFC Hub on Fight Night
Log in to the app, open the Sports tab, and select the UFC section. On July 11, the UFC 329 live stream tile will appear there. The early prelims begin at 5 PM ET, so if you want to catch every single fight, plan to be logged in and ready before then.
Step 4: Enjoy the Fights and Replays
Once each bout ends, it becomes available on demand almost immediately. Under the old PPV model, replays were locked away for over two weeks. Now, if you fall asleep before McGregor’s walkout at roughly 11:30 PM ET, you can watch it with your morning coffee on Sunday.
Pro Tips for a Smooth Stream
- Test your internet speed beforehand; 10 Mbps or higher is ideal for HD streaming
- Log in to the app at least 30 minutes early to avoid last-minute password resets
- Use a wired connection or sit close to your router for the main event
- Check if you already get Paramount+ free through a bundle such as Walmart+ before paying separately
What If Your Stream Buffers?
Close background apps, restart your streaming device, and lower the video quality one notch if buffering persists. Switching from Wi-Fi to a wired ethernet connection solves most fight-night streaming issues instantly.
How to Watch UFC 329 Live Online From Anywhere in the World
Broadcast rights differ by country, so your options depend on where you’re watching from. Here’s the full breakdown for major regions.
United Kingdom and Ireland
UK and Irish fans can watch UFC 329 on TNT Sports, streamed through discovery+, with replays available on HBO Max.
The time difference is brutal: the main card starts at around 2 AM BST on Sunday, July 12, and McGregor’s walkout is expected around 4 to 5 AM local time.
Set your alarm and make the coffee strong; this is a once-in-a-generation comeback for Irish fans especially.
Canada
Canada keeps its traditional model because UFC rights there belong to Sportsnet (English) and TVA Sports (French) under a separate long-term deal running until 2027.
That means Canadian fans still pay a PPV fee for the main card on top of their base subscription. Prelims typically air on Sportsnet 360 and TSN.
Australia
Australia also retains pay-per-view for the main card, which is available through Main Event on Kayo Sports and Foxtel.
You do not need an existing Kayo subscription to order it. The prelims stream on Paramount+ and Network 10, with early prelims on Paramount+ and UFC Fight Pass.
Thanks to the time zone, the main card lands on Sunday afternoon local time, so Aussie fans get to watch at a genuinely civilized hour.
Rest of the World
In markets without a dedicated local broadcaster, UFC Fight Pass acts as the worldwide streaming fallback.
It’s a subscription service available in most countries and carries the full event live.
In South Asia, including Bangladesh and India, Sony’s networks have historically carried UFC events, so check your local Sony LIV or cable listings closer to fight night for confirmation.
Watching Your Home Service Abroad With a VPN
If you’re traveling outside your home country during fight week, your usual streaming subscription may be blocked due to regional licensing. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) lets you connect to a server in your home country so you can access the service you already pay for. Here’s how it works:
- Choose a reputable VPN provider with fast servers in your home country
- Install the VPN app on your streaming device, phone, or laptop
- Connect to a server located in your home country
- Open your streaming service (Paramount+, TNT Sports, Kayo, etc.) and log in as normal
- Start streaming UFC 329 as if you never left home
One important note: always check the terms of service of your streaming platform and the laws in your location before using a VPN.
This method is intended for accessing content you have legitimately paid for, not for bypassing regional pricing.
UFC 329 Full Fight Card
This card is stacked from top to bottom. Here’s the announced lineup (fight cards are always subject to late changes):
Main Card
- Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway – Welterweight
- Paddy Pimblett vs. Benoit Saint Denis – Lightweight
- Cory Sandhagen vs. Mario Bautista – Bantamweight

Keep an eye on Gable Steveson’s UFC debut. The Olympic wrestling gold medalist steps into the Octagon for the first time, and heavyweight debuts from elite wrestlers rarely disappoint.
Why This Fight Matters
The first McGregor vs. Holloway fight took place in August 2013, when both were hungry featherweight prospects.
McGregor won by unanimous decision that night, then went on to become the first fighter in UFC history to hold two titles simultaneously.
Holloway built his own legendary resume with a featherweight title reign, three successful defenses, and the record for most knockouts in UFC featherweight history.
Now they meet at 170 pounds, at completely different stages of their careers. McGregor, 37, hasn’t competed since the leg break against Dustin Poirier in 2021.
Holloway fought at the elite level as recently as this year against Charles Oliveira. Holloway has even talked openly about winning this one and setting up a trilogy fight at Allegiant Stadium later in 2026.
The stakes, the history, and the storylines make this the biggest UFC event of the year, and possibly the most-watched card of the Paramount+ era so far.
FAQs
Is UFC 329 a pay-per-view event?
Not in the United States. UFC 329 is included with any Paramount+ subscription (Essential or Premium) at no extra cost. However, Canada and Australia still use the PPV model through Sportsnet/TVA Sports and Main Event on Kayo/Foxtel respectively.
What time does the McGregor vs. Holloway fight start?
The main card begins at 9 PM ET / 6 PM PT on Saturday, July 11, 2026. As the final fight of the night, McGregor and Holloway are expected to walk out around 11:30 PM ET or later, which is roughly 2 AM BST / 4:30 AM in Ireland on Sunday, July 12.
Can I watch UFC 329 for free?
There is no fully free legal stream of the main card. The cheapest legal option in the US is one month of Paramount+ Essential at about $8.99. Some viewers already receive Paramount+ free through bundles like Walmart+, so check your existing subscriptions first.
Will UFC 329 replays be available after the event?

Do I need UFC Fight Pass to watch UFC 329?
Not in the US, since Paramount+ carries the early prelims, prelims, and main card in full. UFC Fight Pass remains useful as the worldwide streaming option in countries without a local broadcaster, and it carries the early prelims in Australia.
