The complete 2023 UFC schedule of fights

It's become one of the biggest sports in the world and each UFC event delivers an unmissable fight night if you know when to tune in.

Whether it goes the distance or is a first-round knockout, each UFC event is an epic experience. A numbered UFC event usually involves upwards of 12 fights, always with 1 but sometimes more title bouts included.

The UFC only tends to confirm its events usually no more than about 2–3 months ahead of the bouts. Below you will find all of the known UFC events at the time of updating. We will update this page regularly as more events are announced.

If you live in Australia, we have a comprehensive UFC guide for all your MMA needs. While the main card of each numbered UFC event is generally reserved for the pay-per-view services, there are some bouts such as the PPV undercards and Fight Night you can watch in their entirety through regular subscriptions to UFC Fight Pass, Kayo Sports or via Foxtel Now.

When is the next UFC event in Australia?

The UFC is returning to Australia for UFC 293, which will take place in Sydney on Sunday 10 September 2023. It's one of 3 UFC events to be held in Sydney over 4 years after the NSW Government signed a deal with UFC. This is the first time the UFC has returned to Sydney since the UFC Fight Night 121 bout of Fabrício Werdum vs Marcin Tybura in 2017. Furthermore, it's the first pay-per-view event in Sydney since UFC 127 in 2011, which featured BJ Penn vs Jon Fitch.

The UFC was last in Australia for UFC 284 in Perth, when Aussie Alexander Volkanovski controversially lost to Islam Makhachev in a lightweight title bout.
