UFC Fight Night Returns to Dallas to Begin 2027

It is official, following a short break to end 2026, the UFC will begin 2027 in Dallas.  During their UFC 333’s broadcast this past weekend, the promotion announced it will return to Dallas, Texas, for a “Fight Night on Sat., Jan. 16, 2027.  The event will be held at the American Airlines Center.

While no fights have been announced yet, there will be several revealed in early November.  As usual, the event will stream live and exclusively on Paramount+ in the United States.

The Jan. 16 event will be the UFC’s seventh show held in Dallas.  All seven prior cards  have been held at American Airlines Center.

The promotion last visited Dallas for UFC 277 in July 2022.  It was a packed card that featured Amanda Nunes reclaiming the women’s Bantamweight championship from Julianna Pena via unanimous decision. In the co-main event, Brandon Moreno stopped Kai Kara-France to capture the interim Flyweight title.

It’s hard to believe, but the UFC only has 5 fight cards left to be held in 2026 and they are as follows:

October:

Sat., Oct. 31: UFC Vegas 123 “Moicano vs. Nolan”

November:

Sat., Nov. 7: UFC Vegas 124 “Bonfim vs. Brady”
Sat., Nov. 14: UFC 334 “Gane vs. Hokit”
Sat., Nov. 21: UFC Qatar “Jiri vs. Stirling”

December:

Sat., Dec. 12: UFC 335 “Oliveira vs. Lopes”
