TKO has announced that Zuffa Boxing has landed a distribution agreement with Paramount beginning in 2026.
The group revealed a multi-year deal for the upstart boxing entity to commence in the new year, with Paramount+ set to house all its events throughout the U.S., Canada, and Latin America.
Front Office Sports is reporting the deal to be five years in length, but financial details were not revealed.
From the press release:
Beginning in January 2026, Paramount will exclusively distribute a full slate of Zuffa Boxing events starting with 12 action-packed cards, with plans to grow that number in subsequent years. The bouts will be available via Paramount’s direct-to-consumer streaming platform Paramount+, with the potential for select events to be simulcast on CBS, America’s leading broadcast network, and other Paramount platforms.
Zuffa Boxing joins the UFC on the streamer after the MMA entity recently inked a $7.7 billion deal for its full slate of U.S. rights. The move comes at a major cost savings for American viewers, who will no longer need to purchase monthly pay-per-view events and can access all UFC events and Zuffa Boxing shows through its subscription to Paramount+.
TKO’s boxing company was launched earlier this year alongside Saudi Arabian-based entity Sela.
