August 24, 2017
Fox Sports Australia has extended its long-term broadcast deal with The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
The agreement will see the Pay-TV broadcaster continue to offer live coverage of the popular MMA combat series.
Foxtel subscribers will be able to watch all live UFC events as well as access magazine programming and archived events.
Fans will also be able to view content via Foxtel’s streaming service while Fox’s main event channel will show pay-per-view offerings.
Rebecca McCloy, director of acquisitions for Fox Sports Australia, said: “Fox Sports has been the UFC’s Australian broadcast partner for ten years with more fans watching UFC on Foxtel channels than anywhere else.
“It’s great to extend this valuable partnership that will see Foxtel continue to deliver one of the world’s most exciting and popular sports to subscribers across the country.”
Joe Carr, UFC’s senior vice president of international and content, added: “UFC is delighted to extend its long-term partnership with Fox Sports. Continuing to work with the leading producer of sports coverage in Australia was an easy decision.
“Our strong relationship has been instrumental to the success we’ve seen in Australia over the past decade and no doubt this renewal will help us both achieve more positive results.”
