MMA Live Stream: How to Watch the Latest Fights Online

Lucas Coll
By

Looking to catch the latest MMA live stream, or looking for the best way to stream UFC, Bellator, and other MMA promotions online? Your two best options are, hands-down, ESPN+ and FITE.tv. These streaming services are must-haves for anybody who wants to watch MMA fights live online, but there are a few things to be aware of (such as price, to name just one) before you dive in. Here’s everything you need to know about streaming MMA fights and more with ESPN+ and FITE.tv.

ESPN+

If you’re looking to watch MMA live streams online and follow the UFC, ESPN+ is a must-have. ESPN’s premium online streaming service, which costs $6 per month or $60 per year, is the go-to place not to not only stream UFC fights but also for boxing, soccer, and pretty much anything else sports-related, which includes not only live events but also exclusive shows, interviews, documentaries, press conferences, weigh-ins, and much more.

Recommended Videos

With regards to the UFC, ESPN+ is also notably the only platform that broadcasts live pay-per-view streams. That means you’ll need to sign up for ESPN+ if you want to watch MMA events like UFC 260: Miocic vs. Ngannou 2 on March 27. You can stream all of the live and on-demand content ESPN+ has to offer on compatible mobile devices, PC web browsers, smart TVs, streaming devices, and Xbox and PlayStation gaming consoles.

If you’re a new subscriber, then you can grab a one-time bundle offer ahead of UFC pay-per-view events that scores you a year’s worth of ESPN+ along with the UFC PPV package for $90, saving you $40. Another option is to sign up for The Disney Bundle which gets you ESPN+, Disney+, and basic Hulu (with ads) for just $13 per month, saving you 25% off the price of buying each subscription separately. If you already have any of these, you can still upgrade and get the discount.

FITE.tv

FITE.tv is an increasing popular streaming platform for MMA live streams. It doesn’t broadcast UFC events, but for leagues like Bellator as well as lesser-known MMA (and other fighting) promotions, FITE.tv is a great tool to have in your streaming arsenal. Unlike ESPN+, it’s completely free to sign up for FITE.tv . That gives you access to plenty of free content but you’ll still have to shell out the cash if you want to watch MMA pay-per-view events. Thankfully, these are almost always much cheaper than the $70 ticket price for UFC PPV.

As with ESPN+ and most other popular streaming services, you can watch FITE.tv on your web browser, mobile device, smart TV, streaming stick, and Xbox or PlayStation gaming console. That gives you plenty of options for enjoying every non-UFC MMA live stream as well as other content FITE.tv has to offer, such as boxing, wrestling, motocross, and even medieval-style jousting if you want to party like it’s 1299.

F1 Saudi Arabian GP live stream: Watch Formula 1 for free
Formula 1 driver exiting turn.

The F1 Championship continues with the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix commencing soon. It's going to be an exciting race with Max Verstappen sure to want to build on his victory in Bahrain earlier this month. If you're keen to see the latest F1 Saudi Arabian live stream, there's a particularly great way to do so and even better -- it won't cost you a cent. Intrigued to know more? Here's all you need to know about how to watch the thrilling race.
Watch the free Saudi Arabian GP live stream
The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix is being aired for free in Austria and Luxembourg. This is great news for those in the countries, but devastating for residents traveling abroad who want to watch the action unfold live in their local language -- especially when it's free-to-watch at home. It's only fitting that an Austrian currently in the United States would want to watch the race in Austrian and not English, right? This is completely safe and legal to do with a VPN like NordVPN. Just install it, choose to the location you wish to connect to, then fire up broadcast. The free streams are ORF in Austria or RTL Zwee in Luxembourg.

Unfortunately, there isn't a free Saudi Arabian GP live stream for residents of other countries. Elsewhere, folks will need to tune in through a local broadcast partner. The race is available on ESPN in the United States, and the best way to tune in is through fuboTV, which offers a one-week free trial to new customers In the United Kingdom, it's available on Sky Sports F1, and over in Canada it's being broadcast in English through TNS and in French through RDS. There are some other options available as well -- below we'll talk you through the different ways you can tune in locally in the United States in more detail.

Chelsea vs Everton live stream: How to watch for free
The Manual examines the United States men's soccer team as it stands on the brink of earning a ticket to the World Cup in Qatar this summer.

Chelsea vs Everton will be a delight to neutrals and fans of the respective teams alike. Chelsea will be keen to gain their fourth win in a row, but that doesn't mean Everton won't want to shake things up. If you're looking for a free Chelsea vs Everton live stream to catch up on all the action, you're in luck. Here's how to watch the game without paying a thing.
Free Chelsea vs Everton live stream
Chelsea vs Everton is streaming on USA Network when it kicks off at 1.30 pm ET. The channel is available through a lot of different sports streaming services, but we recommend using FuboTV. That's because there's a FuboTV free trial so you can check out the Chelsea vs Everton live stream for free. The trial only lasts seven days, but that's plenty of time to check out other channels on the service with over 115 available covering news, entertainment, and sport. Channels such as ESPN, Disney Channel, and CNN will keep you interested, among many others. FuboTV costs $65 for the basic plan with upgrades also available including premium channels as add-ons. It's a great option for cord-cutters and is sure to appeal to you for far longer than simply watching today's game.

If you happen to be traveling abroad while still keen to watch Chelsea vs Everton, you may find that FuboTV doesn't travel with you. It's frustrating when you can't access a service you're paying for (or using the time-limited free trial), but there is a way around this. Sign up to NordVPN and you can 'trick' your connection into thinking you're still back home, thereby allowing you to access FuboTV and watch the match. All you need to do is open the app and choose a US-based server. From there, NordVPN makes it look like your home allowing you to access your streaming services. It also enhances your security so it's ideal for when dealing with public Wi-Fi or hotel Wi-Fi that may be unsafe compared to your home network. There's a NordVPN free trial too to help you check it out risk-free for the first 30 days.
