As has become tradition in recent years, the UFC will return to Paris, France this September for a Fight Night event.
Promotion officials announced 2026’s UFC Paris card in a press release issued on Monday. The event will take place at the Accor Arena on September 5.
No fights have been announced for the card, though upcoming bouts with Ciryl Gane and Benoit Saint-Denis were highlighted in Monday’s press release.
The UFC made its debut in France in 2022, heading to Paris for a card headlined by heavyweights Gane and Tai Tuivasa. It has since returned to the French capital roughly the same time each year, with Gane headlining a second year, and Saint-Denis and Nassourdine Imavov each headlining once.
It remains to be seen if either Gane or BSD are available for the card. Gane fights at UFC Freedom 250 this Saturday in an interim heavyweight title fight; should he win, there’s virtually no chance his expected title unification bout with Tom Aspinall ends up on a Fight Night card. Saint-Denis, meanwhile, faces Paddy Pimblett at UFC 329 in July, which would leave him with a quick turnaround.
Nassourdine Imavov does not currently have a fight booked.
Per Monday’s press release, UFC fans can register their interest in the Paris card early via UFC.com/Paris to secure their tickets in advance.
