The second big Ultimate Fighting Champion ship event of 2026 is set to take Sydney by storm this weekend. UFC 325 Volkanovski vs Lopes 2 takes place at 9pm ET / 6pm PT / 2am GMT and we’ll help you figure out exactly how to watch it.
Alexander Volkanovski triumphed in the the featherweight pair’s first meeting, at UFC 315 back in April 2025. Since then, the 37-year-old hasn’t participated in any UFC events, so the rematch marks his return to the spotlight. This time, though, he’s on home territory, as he grew up in New South Wales.
Diego Lopes, on the other hand, has stayed busy. The 31-year-old Brazilian participated in UFC Fight Night: Lopes vs Silva back in September 2025, which he won by knockout. He’ll likely be hoping that he can right the record in Sydney.
With a lot of MMA action to see, you’ll want to know how to watch UFC 325 from anywhere.
How to watch UFC 325 in the US
If you want to watch UFC 325 live in the US, then you’d best sign up for Paramount Plus. There’s no Pay-Per-View release for the event.
The streaming service is set to host a live stream of the entirety of UFC 325, so it’s your one-stop shop for all fourteen fights. Volkanovski vs Lopes 2 is only the second UFC event to be shown as part of a new partnership between UFC and Paramount, but it doesn’t sound like it’ll be the last.
What’s more, you can watch UFC on Paramount Plus regardless of your subscription tier, so you can be on the more affordable $8.99-per-month Essential Plan and still see it.
UFC 325 officially begins with the Early Prelim card, at 5pm ET or 2pm PT. Then the Prelims start at 7 pm ET or 4 pm PT, and if you just want to see the title fight, the Main Card is set to begin at 9 pm ET or 6 pm PT. Note that the later timings are susceptible to slight changes, so it’s worth logging on early if you’re only interested in the title event.
How to watch UFC 325 in the UK
If you live in the UK, you can watch the UFC 325 event by using TNT Sports. The Early Prelims begin at 10pm while the Preliminary Card is due to start at midnight, and the Main Card is set to begin at 2 am on February 2.
TNT is a collection of premium TV channels which you can access via BT TV, Sky or Virgin Media. If you have access, you probably already know about it.

Just note that TNT Sports is only showing the Prelims and Main Card events. You’re going to need to use UFC Fight Pass to see the Early Prelims (it’s also showing the Prelims) and a subscription to this service costs £7.99 monthly.
How to watch UFC 325 in Australia

How to watch UFC 325 elsewhere
If you’re not in your usual region, and so can’t access your normal TV or streaming set-up, then you’ll want to use a Virtual Private Network or VPN in order to watch UFC 325 from elsewhere in the world.
A VPN is a software tool which changes your IP address, from your current region to a different one. It’ll allow you to tune into your home streaming service when you’re not in your country, and so you can use it to view UFC 325’s events from wherever you are. Our go-to is NordVPN and we’ve tested many of the best VPNs for gaming.
