UFC 314 brings the fighters back to Miami for the first time this year. We've compiled everything you need to know about where to watch UFC 314, including global live streaming options.
The UFC featherweight title, vacated by Ilia Topuria, is up for grabs in tonight's main event. Former featherweight champ Alexander Volkanovski is looking to reclaim his long-lost title, while Diego Lopes is looking for his first-ever championship belt. Volkanovski is 26-4-0, and Lopes is 26-6-0, so it's safe to say that it's anyone's title. In addition to the co-main Michael Chandler vs. Paddy Pimblett lightweight bout, the main card is a feast for featherweight fans.
The event is available around the world on its usual streaming platforms, which means that US viewers will once again need to make a pay-per-view (PPV) purchase on ESPN Plus. Below, we'll highlight a potential savings opportunity for new subscribers and break down the main fight card.

Where to watch UFC 314 in the US
ESPN Plus is the UFC streaming home in the United States. While some prelim and early prelim coverage is available through a standard subscription, you'll need to pay a PPV fee for the main card (in addition to a regular subscription). This is a standard one-time fee required for each major numbered event like UFC 314. Standard subscriptions cost $11.99/month or $119.99/year.
If you're looking for savings, there's a great opportunity for those who don't already have an ESPN Plus account and think they might hold onto a subscription for a while. ESPN Plus offers a deal that bundles an annual subscription (regularly $119.99) with the next PPV fight (in this case, UFC 314, regularly $79.99) for just $134.98. This is a $65 savings opportunity compared to the $199.98 this would normally cost.
Where to watch UFC 314 in the UK, Canada, and everywhere else
UFC is popular on a global scale and available throughout the world, so you should check your local listings for specifics. In the UK, UFC is available to live stream through TNT Sports on Discovery Plus. Occasionally, this option requires a PPV fee, but usually, viewers can watch by simply paying the £30.99/month subscription price for the highest tier. In Canada, UFC fights are available on a PPV basis for $65 a piece on UFC Fight Pass.
If you find yourself traveling through a region where you can't access your usual US or UK subscriptions, it might be time to try out a VPN. VPNs, or virtual private networks, allow you to change your device's virtual location. This way, you can access all of your usual websites and apps from pretty much anywhere in the world. They're also great ways to boost your online privacy and security.
Not sure where to start when it comes to VPNs? A top-notch beginner-friendly option is ExpressVPN. The app comes with a variety of cybersecurity assets (which you can read about in our ExpressVPN review) and a handy 30-day money-back guarantee if you find that it's not what you're looking for.
