When Is the Next UFC Event in the UK?
The United Kingdom has long been one of the UFC’s most loyal and energetic markets, producing fan-favorite fighters and consistently selling out major venues like The O₂ Arena in London. In recent years, cities like London and Manchester have become regular stops for UFC Fight Nights, drawing both local talent and international stars.
The most recent UFC event in the UK was held on March 22, 2025, at The O₂ Arena. The main event saw welterweight standout Leon Edwards return to home soil to face Sean Brady in a highly anticipated matchup. The card also featured exciting bouts including Jan Błachowicz vs. Carlos Ulberg, as well as appearances by popular names like Molly McCann, Gunnar Nelson, Kevin Holland, and Nathaniel Wood. The event once again demonstrated the strength of the UK fan base, with a packed arena and strong online engagement.

Despite the success of that event, the UFC has not yet announced its next trip to the UK. As of August 2025, no future UK-based cards have been officially confirmed. The current schedule includes stops in Paris on September 6, Abu Dhabi on October 25, and Doha, Qatar on November 22, indicating the promotion’s continued global expansion.
For UK fans, the lack of an announced date doesn’t mean the UFC won’t return soon. Historically, the UFC has hosted at least one major event per year in the UK, and with rising British stars continuing to gain attention, a return in late 2025 or early 2026 remains likely.
