CBS to Simulcast Two Hours of UFC 326 in Primetime, First UFC Event on the Network

Overview

• The broadcast network will carry the final prelim hour and first main‑card hour from 8–10 p.m. ET on March 7, the UFC’s first appearance on CBS.
• Every bout streams on Paramount+, with the remainder of the main card available only on the service after 10 p.m. ET.
• The specific fights in the CBS window have not been finalized, and based on typical ordering the main event is unlikely to air on CBS.
• UFC 326 is scheduled for T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with Max Holloway vs. Charles Oliveira for the BMF title; the co‑main remains unconfirmed after Brian Ortega’s withdrawal.
• CBS will also air a one‑hour special, This is UFC, on Feb. 20 hosted by Megan Olivi and Dee Valladares, reflecting a $7.7 billion pact that moved numbered events from pay‑per‑view to Paramount+.
