The UFC is set to return to London, England on March 21, 2026.
Stopping in London in March has been a frequent occurrence for the UFC since it returned to the road in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2022. That year’s UFC London card (the first of two, with a second coming in the summer) is widely regarded as one of the best Fight Night events of all time.
This year’s stop will once again take place at the O2 Arena in London, promotion officials announced on Friday. No fights have been announced for the card, though it’s a safe bet heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall will not be involved. With his first fight against Ciryl Gane ending in a No Contest due to an eye poke, it’s more likely Aspinall vs. Gane 2 will be affixed to a numbered event – though with the Pay-Per-View model being phased out stateside under the UFC’s new broadcast deal with Paramount+, there’s an outside chance it could happen.
The UFC last touched down at the O2 in London this past March, when Sean Brady picked up a victory over British star and former UFC welterweight champion Leon “Rocky” Edwards. Edwards was knocked out by Carlos Prates last month, while another big British name, Paddy Pimblett, faces Justin Gaethje for an interim belt in January, leaving him almost certainly out of the running for March.
