For a two-hour window,
UFC 326 will be broadcast on both Paramount+ and CBS.
The network announced on Tuesday that CBS will air its first-ever
UFC event on March 7, simulcasting the final hour of the event’s
prelims from 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT to 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and the
first hour of the main card from 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT to 10 p.m.
ET/7 p.m. PT. As usual, the entirety of the UFC 326 lineup will
stream on Paramount+.
UFC 326 takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and is
headlined by a BMF championship clash between Max
Holloway and Charles
Oliveira. A co-main event has yet to be confirmed for the card
after Brian
Ortega withdrew from a proposed matchup against Renato
Carneiro. As it currently stands, it appears that Rob Font vs.
Raul
Rosas Jr. and Gregory
Rodrigues vs. Bruno
Ferreira would be the main card fights to air on CBS.
If the promotion sticks to its usual bout order, the
Holloway-Oliveira rematch will not make the CBS portion of the
broadcast. However, the lineup has not been officially confirmed at
this point in time. When the UFC announced the seven-year, $7.7
billion media rights partnership with Paramount, the ability to
simulcast some events on CBS was built into the agreement.
Special Programming
It was also announced that a one-hour special entitled “This is the
UFC” will air on Feb. 20 on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. The program
will chronicle the “UFC’s rise from underground spectacle to global
powerhouse” and will feature conversations with Dana White and
various fighters. The special will be hosted by UFC reporter Megan
Olivi and Survivor 45 winner Dee Valladares. The UFC’s debut on
Paramount+ will also be highlighted.
Paramount+ and CBS will partner to air UFC
326: HOLLOWAY vs. OLIVEIRA 2, LIVE on Saturday, March 7, marking
the first UFC event ever to appear on the broadcast network.
