UFC Schedule 2026: Every Remaining Event and Where to Fly

The remaining UFC 2026 schedule at a glance

This calendar covers the eleven mainline Fight Night, numbered PPV, and marquee cards left on the schedule, plus one representative Dana White’s Contender Series card (Aug 25) — DWCS season 10 itself runs weekly from August 11 to October 13, 2026, with additional episodes not itemized individually here. UFC also hasn’t yet announced any November or December 2026 events, so this list will grow as those get confirmed.

Schedule current as of July 28, 2026, verified against UFC.com’s own event pages, which list Gamrot vs. Salkilld, UFC 330, and Hernandez vs. Rodrigues as Saturday, Aug 8/15/22. UFCalendar.com was cross-checked too and currently lists those same three cards one day later, as Sunday, Aug 9/16/23 — this article follows UFC.com’s own event-page dates throughout. Fight cards and even venues can still shift, especially for September and October dates — check UFC’s official schedule before you book.

Fight Night vs. numbered events: which is cheaper to fly to

Non-numbered Fight Night cards are almost always the easier, cheaper trip. They run in smaller arenas, rarely sell out as far in advance, and don’t carry the title-fight premium that numbered PPV events like UFC 330, UFC 331, and UFC 333 command.

If budget matters more than headline stars, a Fight Night card — Belgrade, Shanghai, or Edmonton — is the lower-stress way to see UFC live. If you want the biggest possible fight weekend, UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi is the one worth planning months ahead for.

UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi: the card worth building a trip around

UFC 333 lands at Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, on October 24, 2026.

The card is headlined by a UFC Featherweight Championship bout between two-time champion Alexander Volkanovski and undefeated contender Movsar Evloev, giving the Gulf its first title fight of this stretch of the calendar.

Abu Dhabi is a recurring, high-demand UFC host city, which means flights and hotel rooms around fight weekend fill up and get pricier the longer you wait.

Compare flights to Abu Dhabi on Wego now and lock in October 24 dates before the crowd does.

For where to stay, Etihad Arena sits on Yas Island’s waterfront, and these three hotels put you within a short walk of the venue rather than relying on a taxi after the main card:

• Hilton Abu Dhabi Yas Island — on the Yas Bay Waterfront promenade, about a 5-minute walk to Etihad Arena.
• W Abu Dhabi – Yas Island — built over the Yas Marina Circuit, about a 7-minute walk to the arena.
• Radisson Blu Hotel, Abu Dhabi Yas Island — overlooking the Gulf and Yas Links golf course, about a 10-minute walk to the arena.

Compare rates for these and other Abu Dhabi hotels on Wego if you’d rather stay further out.

Which other remaining cards are actually worth a trip

• UFC Paris (Sep 5): Accor Arena hosts a full Fight Night card. Compare flights to Paris and Paris hotels on Wego if you want to combine the fights with a few days in the city.
• UFC Fight Night in Shanghai (Aug 29): the Oriental Sports Center card is the promotion’s third Shanghai visit. Check flights to Shanghai and Shanghai hotels on Wego if you’re already planning an East Asia trip around late August.
• UFC Fight Night in Belgrade (Aug 1): the soonest card on this list, at Belgrade Arena in Serbia — a realistic add-on if you’re already looking at Southeast Europe travel this summer. Compare flights to Belgrade on Wego.
• UFC Fight Night in Edmonton (Oct 17): Rogers Place hosts the promotion’s fourth Edmonton visit, a week before UFC 333 — useful if you’re weighing a North America vs. Gulf trip that October. Check flights to Edmonton on Wego.
