If you’re a fan of fighting and the UFC and own a FireStick, you probably want to know how to combine your passion and watch UFC Fight Night on FireStick. After all, the FireStick is an exceptional entertainment tool that can easily achieve this. But without knowing exactly what you need to do, it can be challenging to access UFC on FireStick, including those critical title fights and PPV events.

Sure, you can catch the highlights on your regular cable channel or read news articles online to learn who won and who lost. But we all know that’s not the same. As a fan, you want to catch all of the action while it’s happening and see impressive moves live on your TV.

What Is the UFC?

This explanation may not be necessary, but for anyone unfamiliar with the global phenomenon of the UFC, here goes: The UFC, the Ultimate Fighting Championship, is where all of the best mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters gather.

With matches broadcast worldwide (130 countries and counting), the best boxers, wrestlers, martial artists, and more compete in no-holds-barred slugfest action. Many fights are also broadcast via full HD streaming, so you can get close to the action by watching everything on your home screen quickly and easily.

While we’d all like to attend the events in person, paying exorbitant ticket prices and dealing with crowds may make you reconsider. UFC events are often held in distant locations, so simply getting to them can be difficult.

Any sports fan knows that if they can’t attend events in person, they need to be able to watch those events live. Fortunately, there are ways to watch UFC PPV title fights without breaking the bank, and some are free.

Read on to learn how to watch UFC on FireStick, including UFC PPV, through different streaming services.

Attention, FireStick Users!

Governments and ISPs constantly monitor your online activity, and accessing copyrighted content on your Fire TV Stick could lead to serious trouble. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone. I strongly recommend getting the best FireStick VPN to mask your IP address and securely stream your favorites.

I personally use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN available. Not only is it easy to install on any device, it comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Plus, if you’re not 100% satisfied, you can always get a refund. ExpressVPN is currently also offering a whopping 3 extra months free on their annual plan!

Here are reasons why using a VPN at all times is essential.

How to Watch UFC 301 on FireStick

You can watch UFC on your simple yet powerful device if you have the Amazon FireStick, Fire TV, or Fire TV Cube. The Amazon FireStick is extremely flexible, and you can extend its capabilities beyond the entertainment it natively offers.

To do this, you must install an app, which I’ll explain below. I’ll also discuss which app is best for watching UFC PPV events and which is best for regular UFC events that are not title fights. I’ll also offer guidance on whether these apps are free or how much you need to pay to use them.

Watching UFC 301: Pantoja vs. Erceg

May 4  is the date to watch out for. It’s when the UFC 301 Card hits our screens. This UFC match will see Alexandre Pantoja against Steve Erceg in the flyweight title bout. It’s going to be another nail-biter this weekend.

watch UFC 301 onlinewatch UFC 301 online

Alexandre ‘The Cannibal’ Pantoja has made a name for himself in the UFC flyweight division. He carries the record of 27 wins and five losses. His last fight came against Brandon Royval, and it was a part of the UFC 296 fight card. Pantoja won the bout in the fifth round by unanimous decision.

Before that, he went against Brandon Moreno in UFC 290. It was one of the high-profile rematches, and Pantoja didn’t disappoint at all. He won the fight by split decision in the fifth round. Overall, he will start as a favorite against Steve Erceg on the Saturday night. Let’s have a word about his rival.

Steve ‘Astroboy’ Erceg has an impressive track record, too. He won both of his last fights and comes with a high confidence in the ring. He rivaled Matt Schnell at UFC Fight Night and won by knockout in the second round only. It was an impressive performance from Erceg and earned him a fight against Pantoja to take a shot at the Flyweight title. Before that, he fought and beat Alessandro Costa at UFC 295.

How to Watch UFC 301 on FireStick or Fire TV in the US

I have covered the step-by-step process to live stream this event completely free. So read the complete guide if that is something you are looking for.

In the US, you have multiple options to watch UFC live coverage on FireStick without cable. You can get a UFC Fight Pass to watch prelims and follow the UFC YouTube channel to catch highlights. For live action, subscribe to ESPN+ or get a Disney bundle to enable UFC action at home.

1. UFC Fight Pass (Prelims)

You can access Fight Pass on your FireStick through the UFC app.

1. From the FireStick home screen, go to Find and then Search.

2. Type Ufc, then scroll below the virtual keyboard and select Ufc Fight Pass.

3. Find UFC among Apps & Games and select it. Then select Get or Download to install it on your device.

4. When it is installed, Open the app to launch it.

open ufcopen ufc

5. Click on the account avatar in the top right to sign in or purchase a subscription.

2. ESPN+ (UFC live coverage)

ESPN won’t give you PPV events. For those, you need ESPN+. However, ESPN+ doesn’t work outside of the US. If you live in another country, you must connect to a US VPN server to watch UFC.

ESPN+ plans start at $10.99/month or $109.99/year. The company doesn’t offer any free trial, though. You must start with a monthly or yearly plan and purchase the UFC 300 card from the official website.

To access ESPN+, visit the ESPN+ website on any device (after connecting to a VPN server in the US). Select Sign Up Now and follow the instructions to activate your subscription.

On your FireStick, use the search function as previously demonstrated to find and install the ESPN+ app. Launch the app and enter your login details to start streaming live events.

3. ESPN (Prelims)

Although the ESPN+ subscription doesn’t carry any ESPN live channel, it is a great option if you want a free way to watch preliminaries. Just open the Amazon Silk Browser on your device and search for ESPN. You can easily navigate to the events you want to watch from the ESPN website’s home screen.

ESPN doesn’t broadcast PPV events, so you must use another app or addon to catch that action. I will discuss more free options later in the guide.

4. Hulu Disney Bundle

You can bundle the ESPN+ streaming service with Disney and Hulu as well. Visit the official website of Hulu and pick your preferred plan to bundle with other Disney services. The cheapest Disney bundle starts at $14.99 monthly, and the subscription price increases as you add live TV channels and other addons. Hulu is available to download from the Amazon App Store. Follow the guide below to install the app on FireStick.

5. fuboTV (Prelims)

fuboTV is ideal for anyone looking to ditch the cable connection at home. You can stream over 250+ live TV channels, including ESPN, to watch UFC prelims on FireStick without cable. fuboTV pricing starts at $70 per month, and new users can opt for a free trial (1 week). The subscription also includes up to 1000 hours of DVR storage in higher plans.

Watch UFC 301 on FireStick in Canada

TSN

TSN Canada streams all the major UFC fights in the neighboring country. The TSN app is not available on Amazon AppStore, and you must rely on the TSN web app via the Amazon Silk browser or sideload the Android app to watch UFC Fight Night without cable. The company recently launched a TSN+ streaming service, and the subscription is priced at CA$25 per month; it carries a good combination of entertainment and sports content to stream on FireStick.

Stream UFC 301 on FireStick in the UK

TNT Sports

BT Sports has rebranded its streaming service for TNT Sports. It has the official rights to air UFC in the UK. Similar to TSN, TNT Sport doesn’t have a native app to offer on the Amazon AppStore. You can pay for a TNT Sports Monthly Pass for £30 per month and enjoy major sports events like Cricket, Tennis, football, and other sports events on FireStick without cable. Make sure to use the Silk browser to stream the content.

However, for UFC 301, you need to purchase the PPV card from TNT Sports Box Office. It’s home to PPV events like WWE Wrestlemania, major boxing events, and UFC. Once you purchase the fight card, head to TNT Sports Box Office on the Silk browser and sign in with your account details.

Watch UFC 301 on FireStick in Austria, Germany, and Italy

DAZN

If you are a true sports fan, you need to have DAZN. This is a paid app, but it offers full HD streams and is well worth the price.

DAZN is a simple and easy-to-navigate app that gives you access to the best UFC fights, PPV matches, and other MMA events like wrestling and boxing. Unfortunately, regional restrictions are a factor when using DAZN, so make sure you have a VPN handy in case you need to connect from another country.

You can find DAZN using the search function on your FireStick. Go to Find and Search as demonstrated above, then type in DAZN (just like we did for the UFC app above).

Once you’ve found it, select it and install it on your device.

Follow this guide to get DAZN on FireStick.

Free Apps to Watch UFC 301 on FireStick

Many third-party apps and addons allow you to watch UFC PPV for free. However, as mentioned earlier, we cannot verify the legality of any of these sources. As such, we do not endorse or recommend them.

If you choose to use one of these apps, make sure you have a VPN, as there is no guarantee that these apps have the license to stream PPV events. Also, note that some apps may let you watch the preliminaries on ESPN or ESPN+, but they won’t necessarily grant you access to the PPV event. As such, you might need to experiment to find the right combination of apps for your needs.

Regardless of what you do, make sure you have a VPN enabled.

A trusted VPN service like ExpressVPN eliminates the risk of legal action in the future. Your ISP providers or the local government can’t see what you browse on your FireStick. Your location also remains anonymous with a hidden IP address.

Let’s learn how to connect to a VPN before we install free apps on your Fire TV Stick.

Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Meaning, you can use it free for the first 30-days and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find followed by Search option.

Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it shows up in the search results.

install expressvpninstall expressvpn

Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.

Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials that you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.

Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.

Now that you have secured your internet connection, here’s the list of free apps and addons to watch UFC Fight Night on FireStick.

IPTV Services

amazon fire stick ufcamazon fire stick ufc

IPTV services are in trend these days. The IPTV providers have thousands of TV channels, movies, and TV shows on FireStick. The IPTV services carry the required channels to stream UFC matches on FireStick without cable.

These IPTV providers aren’t expensive as well. They are affordable in comparison to official solutions. The only issue is identifying a capable IPTV provider from the web. Don’t worry, though. You can review my list of the best IPTV services and pick one for your FireStick.

Sign up for an IPTV service and use it with IPTV players like IPTV Smarters or TiviMate. Don’t forget to integrate ExpressVPN, though. FireStickTricks can’t confirm the licensed content on these apps. It’s better to protect yourself with a VPN on FireStick.

Third-Party Apps and Kodi Addons

I have another option if you don’t want to go with IPTV providers. Using third-party video streaming apps on FireStick, you can watch UFC 300 matches free on FireStick without cable.

There are several third-party streaming apps out there. I have picked up the best sports streaming apps to watch UFC matches on FireStick. You can install another from my list if you don’t find the content on your favorite third-party app. They are free, so there is no harm in trying them on FireStick.

As for Kodi addons, you need to integrate UFC Kodi addons with the Kodi app on FireStick.

These streaming apps and Kodi addons might carry unlicensed content. Do use ExpressVPN to be on the safer side.

Sports Streaming Websites

Cord-cutters can also use sports streaming websites on FireStick. You can use Amazon Silk Browser to visit these websites and watch UFC matches. You also can install Google Chrome on FireStick, but it doesn’t come with FireStick remote support, so you won’t get an ideal experience.

A word of caution, though. These websites are filled with ads and third-party trackers. Avoid sharing your personal or card details on sports streaming websites. For the best experience, you should stick with official apps or IPTV services/Kodi addons.

Conclusion

As you can see, there are many ways to watch UFC 301 on your FireStick. Especially with a VPN in place, your location should not be a hindrance.

If you’re a fan of MMA events and fighting, ensure you don’t miss what’s in store. While it would be great to watch UFC events live, it’s probably more sensible for most people to watch from the comfort of their homes.

After all, you couldn’t get that close to the action even if you were there in person!
