Fox UFC Fight Night (previously referred asFox UFC Saturday for broadcasts onFox orFS1 UFC Fight Night for broadcasts on other Fox-owned properties) was the branding used for telecasts ofmixed martial art competitions from theUltimate Fighting Championship (UFC) that were produced byFox Sports. Previously,UFC on Fox was also used as a blanket title for UFC events aired on the Fox network, although since the concurrent launch ofFox Sports 1 and rebranding of Fuel TV asFox Sports 2 in August 2013, all live UFC broadcasts on Fox-owned networks (including preliminaries,UFC Fight Night andThe Ultimate Fighter Finale) have since used the name.
On August 18, 2011, theUltimate Fighting Championship reached a seven-year broadcast agreement with Fox Sports, giving it the rights to televise matches sanctioned by the promotion through 2018, ending the UFC's relationship with cable channelSpike. Through the agreement, Fox Sports will air four live events per year in eitherprime time orlate night, as well as other UFC programming (includingUFC Fight Night,Road to the Octagon andThe Ultimate Fighter) on its various broadcast and cable properties, including onFox,FX andFuel TV.[1] The deal was significant as it marked the first time that the UFC would televise its events onterrestrial television in the United States.
Incidentally,MyNetworkTV (a sister network-turned-programming service of the Fox broadcast network) previously carried events from theInternational Fight League, then a competitor to the UFC, from September to November 2007 under atime-buy arrangement[citation needed] until the UFC purchased that promotion (MyNetworkTV is not included in Fox Sports' UFC agreement). The first UFC event to air as part of the agreement was a title card betweenJunior dos Santos andCain Velasquez, which aired on Fox on November 12, 2011.[2]
The broadcast partnership between Fox and the UFC ended at the conclusion of 2018 as the promotion signed a new broadcast deal withESPN that began in January 2019.[3]
All matches listed are for those broadcast on the Fox network.
