Alright, fight fans… tonight’s a big one.

The first UFC event of 2026 goes down tonight in Las Vegas, and it also kicks off a brand-new era for how we watch UFC.

UFC 324: Gaethje vs. Pimblett is officially the first UFC event ever streamed on Paramount+, and yeah, that means no extra pay-per-view charge. Just a Paramount+ subscription and you’re good to go.

The main event is an interim lightweight title fight between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett, and if you’ve been burned out on PPV prices lately… this is a very welcome change.

If you’re trying to get set up before tonight’s action, here’s exactly what you need to do.


How to Watch UFC 324 on Paramount+ Tonight

If you’ve ever signed up for a streaming service before, this will feel familiar. Nothing complicated here.

Start by clicking the exclusive Paramount+ signup link (US subscribers only) for UFC 324. It takes you straight to the right signup page and makes sure you’re choosing a plan that includes live UFC content and related fight programming, like the new Zuffa Boxing.

Step 2: Pick Your Paramount+ Plan

Once you’re on the signup page, choose the Paramount+ plan that works best for you. A lot of UFC fans go with Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, since it includes premium combat sports, live events, and a solid on-demand library.

Quick tip: If you’re only signing up for UFC 324, it’s worth checking for any last-minute free trials or limited-time discounts before confirming.

Step 3: Create Your Account

Enter your email, create a password, and that’s your Paramount+ login. You’ll use it across everything, phone, laptop, TV, streaming devices, all of it.

Step 4: Add Payment Info

Enter your payment details to finish the signup. Paramount+ supports major cards and digital payment options. If a trial is available, you won’t be charged until it ends.

To avoid any last-second stress tonight, download the Paramount+ app on the device you plan to watch on:

  • iOS or Android
  • Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV
  • Smart TVs and gaming consoles

Log in once and you’re set.

Step 6: Stream UFC 324 Live Tonight

Tonight, open Paramount+, head to the Live Sports or UFC section, and stream UFC 324 live. Replays, highlights, and extra UFC content will be there afterward too.
