How to Watch UFC Fight Night on Firestick

The Amazon Firestick is an incredible device on its own, but its capacity in terms of what it offers can be extended beyond measure. This stands true not only for the Firestick but also for Fire TV and Fire TV Cube.

If you’re an MMA/UFC fan, we strongly suggest you bookmark this article. Here we’ve provided answers to all sorts of questions one might ask about how to watch UFC on Firestick.  

We will explain in detail what are, and how to, install the additional apps you will need to watch UFC. 

We’ll also be talking about apps that are best suited for PPV, as well as those where you can stream regular UFC events, but no title matches.

ESPN

ESPN Website Browse Screen

One option for those who want to watch UFC preliminaries is ESPN. Unfortunately the network doesn’t broadcast PPV events, meaning you’ll have to look for another app/add-on in order to catch title matches.   

As far as preliminary matches are concerned though, with Silk Browser on your Firestick device you can access the ESPN website. 

On the home screen, you’ll find various options, and you can navigate and access the events according to your preferences. 

Paying to Watch UFC on Firestick: What Are Your Options

ESPN+

ESPN Plus Homepage

ESPN+ comes in handy when what you’re looking for are PPV events, as the subscription service gives you unrestricted access to PPV and live events and much more.

However, much to the dismay of fans not living in the States, ESPN+ doesn’t work outside the US. So if you are in another country, you will need a VPN service to watch UFC with ESPN+ (Our recommendation is ExpressVPN).

The streaming service has plans ranging from $6.99/month to $69.99/year. To access it, simply visit the ESPN+ website after connecting to a secure VPN server, sign up and follow the on-screen instructions to activate your preferred subscription plan. 

If you’re a Firestick user, use the search function to find and install the ESPN+ app, enter your login credentials once you’ve launched the app, and start streaming live events.

DAZN

DAZN Screen Loading

If you’re a sports fan, you’ve probably heard of DAZN before. 

The streaming app is amongst the most populars as it offers full HD sports action streaming at a reasonable price. 

The app has an easy-to-navigate interface, even if you aren’t familiar with the workings of it, you wouldn’t find it hard to get the hang of it. 

Besides providing access to unrestricted UFC events, DAZN gives you access to content from other sporting events as well, including wrestling and boxing. 

However, just as with ESPN+, regional restrictions are an issue when using the app in areas other than those where it’s officially available. 

Fortunately, using ExpressVPN when connecting from a restricted location will do the trick. 

DAZN can be found in the official Amazon store, you can easily find it through the search function on your Firestick.

Being a paid app, you’ll need to sign up for a subscription plan. Currently, plans vary from region to region. The app charges around $20/month in North America while in areas around the UK and Australia the prices are £1.99 and $2.99 per month, respectively.  

Unlike ESPN+, DAZN does offer users a one month free trial.

UFC Fight Pass

Another viable option for streaming UFC matches and related content is the UFC Fight Pass. It’s a subscription-based streaming service owned by Zuffa, UFC’s parent company.

The Pass gives you access to thousands of hours’ worth of UFC content as well as live events from across the globe. UFC PPV events are also included in the Passes’ library, although they are added only after about a month the event has aired.

Fans can subscribe to the streaming service for $9.99/month. Users of Firestick can access the Fight Pass through the official UFC app. Here’s how:

Step 1: Navigate from the Firestick home screen to Find>Search.

UFC Live Streaming Free: Watch UFC on Firestick Via Free Apps

Now that we’re done with the official apps and paid services on which you can stream UFC content, the following sections will focus on free apps.

These free apps come in the form of third-party apps and Kodi add-ons that need to be sideloaded on your device. It’s important to mention the legitimacy and legality of these sources are difficult to verify. 

Be warned, as almost all these sources come with no guarantee of having official licenses for PPV and live events their usage can land you in legal trouble. Connecting to a good VPN service while streaming on these sources is indispensable.

Some of these sources are only good for streaming preliminary matches, as they won’t necessarily have access to PPV events. 

With that said, continue reading and find out the best sources and apps for streaming UFC Fight Night on your Firestick for free or at a minimal cost.

Pocket-Friendly IPTVs

Internet Protocol Television or IPTVs are a great option for cord-cutters looking to stream their favorite content online. They contain vast libraries which feature movies, TV shows and much more.

Many IPTV service providers carry channels to stream UFC matches. The added advantage of these services is that they are reasonably priced when compared to official sources.

However, UFC fans will have to do their homework to find an IPTV service that suits their needs. There are many IPTV options available, with a big variety of capabilities.     

But fear not! We’ve listed some of the best IPTV options out there for you to choose from. We did most of the work, so you wouldn’t have to.

Once you’ve zeroed in on your preferred IPTV from the list, sign up and subscribe. And don’t forget to use ExpressVPN while streaming. 

Iron IPTV

This IPTV service has a humongous collection of over 3500 live TV channels, including Sports and much, much more. 

One interesting feature of Iron IPTV is that the channels are grouped according to regions, making it easy for you to go through their vast content.

The service has only one standard package, with the price being lower and lower (on a per month basis) the longer your subscription.

SportzTV

Another prominent name in the IPTV industry is SportzTV. 

As the name suggests, this IPTV service offers a great variety of sports channels of the highest quality.

But the content available isn’t restricted to sports alone, this service also contains multiple movies and TV shows channels.  

One downside of streaming with SportzTV is that, on occasions, buffering issues and channel unavailability have been reported by users . 

The cheapest SportzTV package comes at $9.95/month, which offers two connections, meaning, you can make use of the service on two different devices at the same time.

All packages come with more or less the same content, the only difference in terms of prices being the number of connections each package comes with.

Online IPTV PRO

The best thing about Online IPTV PRO is, it offers a seamless streaming experience, rarely going down and all channels being available at most times.

Besides, the streaming platform only has a single package which costs $25/month. It includes everything, from sports to entertainment to documentaries. 

Additionally, the service offers a plethora of smoothly running VoD sections.

The package allows 4 connections at a time. That means you can make use of the streaming service on 4 devices at the same time. 

Best of all, Online IPTV PRO has a 3-day trial period, with the exception of PPV weekends.

Where Else To Watch the UFC Fight Tonight: Free Third-Party Apps/IPTVs

If you’re still not sold on IPTVs because of the subscription fee, third-party apps/add-ons might be the best option for you.

Using these apps sourced from third-party developers, you can watch your favorite UFC matches completely for free.  

But due to the sheer abundance of options, you might get confused while looking for an adequate third-party streaming app. 

To assist you, we’ve listed some of the best apps for watching UFC matches on Firestick. 

These apps are free, and safe to try.

XUMO

XUMO is a popular IPTV for Firestick that offers free content. 

It’s popular for containing an extensive list of VoD, including popular titles from sports, entertainment and much more.

The streaming platform also hosts a range of live TV channels, currently boasting over 190 from the major popular  broadcasting networks. 

The IPTV is completely free, no subscription fee, but ads are a common feature that may lessen the streaming experience. That is a small price to pay considering the content you’re getting.  

XUMO works well on Firestick as well as other major platforms, including Androids.

Live Net TV

Live Net TV is another popular free IPTV. It has been a fan-favorite for a while now, allowing you to stream 800 plus live channels.

Kodi addons are plugins which when integrated with the media player, offer access to free premium content. As with most apps, Kodi addons are numerous, you will have to make sure you do your research before installing one of them, or, try some of the best Kodi addons in 2024.

As for UFC fans, you’ll need to integrate the sports Kodi addon on your Firestick. Once that’s done, you can start downloading and installing Kodi addons that are sports-centric and start streaming live sport action.   

Important Warning: We insist you use a good VPN service, not only because they give access to location-specific content but also because they protect your streaming history. 

ExpressVPN is compatible with screen

Besides, most of these free, third-party apps are filled with malicious trackers and ads, which can phish critical personal information, including card details, while streaming content online. 

This is why for a safe streaming experience, we advise you to use only official apps and services. Otherwise, make sure you use a trustworthy VPN at all times.   

Conclusion

You don’t necessarily need to pay to watch your favorite UFC matches. Though we do recommend you make use of paid officials apps and streaming services. And with a top-tier VPN service to match, geo-based restricted content will never be an issue.
