Fans of the UFC are frustrated after the sudden disappearance of the promotion’s vast fight archive from ESPN+. The missing content includes events up to UFC 308, held in October 2024. The issue has emerged as ESPN moves to a new streaming platform, but no official explanation has been given by either ESPN or the UFC.

While some believe the issue is tied to technical challenges from the platform migration, the silence from both parties has only added to the confusion. This isn’t the first streaming issue for ESPN+—earlier in the year, UFC 313 was plagued with widespread technical difficulties, leaving many unable to view the live event.

The timing of this disruption is notable. ESPN’s current broadcasting deal with the UFC, reportedly worth $500 million per year, ends in late 2025. Negotiations for a potential new deal—possibly doubling that amount—are ongoing. The technical setbacks may play a role in those discussions, especially as the UFC explores other streaming options such as Amazon Prime or Netflix.

Fans have turned to social media to express their disappointment, emphasizing how crucial the fight library is for long-time viewers and historians of the sport. The unexpected removal highlights the importance of transparency and reliability, especially for paying subscribers.

As ESPN continues its transition to a new streaming platform, the status of the UFC’s archived content remains unclear. Fans are hoping for swift action to restore access to one of the most comprehensive collections in combat sports history.
