CBS, the first broadcast network to broadcast a live MMA event, could begin showing live UFC events beginning in 2026 with the new media rights deal between UFC parent company TKO Group Holdings and Paramount. Among those potential CBS events is the proposed UFC card on the White House lawn, according to UFC CEO Dana White.

In a landmark shift, UFC has inked a seven-year, $7.7 billion deal with Paramount Skydance, ending its pay-per-view era starting 2026. Every UFC event in the US will stream on Paramount+, with major shows on CBS.

Dana White, the long-serving president of the UFC, has a net worth of about $500 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth.
