UFC, WWE Lock In Long-Term Future at T-Mobile Arena

T-Mobile Arena: UFC’s Vegas Home Base

Since opening in 2016, T-Mobile Arena has become the UFC’s marquee stage in its hometown. The venue has already hosted 20 sold-out UFC events. With five of the company’s top 10 biggest live gates taking place there.

“T-Mobile Arena has been home to some of the most iconic UFC fights of the last decade,” UFC President and CEO Dana White said in Thursday’s announcement. “Five of our top 10 biggest gates have happened in that arena, and I look forward to breaking more records together.”

For fight fans, the arena has become synonymous with the sport’s biggest moments, including Conor McGregor’s rematch with Nate Diaz, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s grudge match with McGregor, and Jon Jones’ championship return.

The Numbers Behind the Deal

• Length: 2026–2030 (five years)

• Annual Events: 4 UFC PPVs + 2 WWE shows

• Venue Legacy: Second-most used UFC venue since COVID, behind the UFC APEX

• Other Tenant: NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights, who helped launch the arena’s reputation as a big-event destination

The partnership ensures that Las Vegas will remain at the center of UFC’s biggest cards while also giving WWE a regular slot in the fight capital.

Vegas Keeps Its Crown

For all the talk of UFC’s expansion into Abu Dhabi, London, and Mexico City, the Las Vegas fight scene remains the promotion’s heartbeat. With this new long-term deal, the UFC’s pay-per-view future is firmly tied to the Strip, ensuring that the world’s biggest MMA stage won’t be moving away from its desert roots anytime soon.
