How much does the UFC 247 pay-per-view cost?

You aren’t going to be able to watch UFC 247 for free. It’s a PPV event. In terms of payment, you have two options.

  • The event on its own costs $49.99.
  • New ESPN+ subscribers can purchase UFC 247 and a year of ESPN+ at a discounted cost of $84.98.
  • Existing subscribers can also upgrade to an annual subscription and purchase the event, provided they’re on a monthly plan.

How to watch UFC 247 outside the U.S.

ESPN+ blocks UFC pay per view content outside the United States. That doesn’t mean you have to miss out if you’re outside America, though. You can use a VPN to move your internet traffic to the U.S. so you’re allowed to watch it.

Note that if you’re watching the game on your phone (or streaming it to a smart TV), all you need to do is install it on the device. If you want to watch the game via an app on an Android TV, however, it gets a bit more complicated — you’ll need a router that supports internal VPNs. Our recommended VPN is below.
