The promotion’s crown jewel of summer will once again be held in the “fight capital” of the U.S., with UFC 317 taking place on June 28, 2025. UFC officials recently announced the date of the card, as well as other key International Fight Week dates, on social media. TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport), the official broadcaster of the UFC in the U.K. and Ireland, subsequently revealed the location.

No fights have been announced for the event. With UFC 315 set for May 10 in Montreal, either late May or early June is expected to feature another Pay-Per-View in UFC 316.

This year’s International Fight Week will once again feature UFC X, a “two-day immersive fan experience” running from June 27 to 28. The UFC Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony will take place on June 26. The Class of 2025 will include Israel Adesanya and Kelvin Gastelum, who are being inducted into the Hall of Fame’s Fight Wing for their 2019 interim title fight, which won Fight of the Year honors from multiple publications (including this one).

The popular favorite to headline UFC 317 would no doubt be Jon Jones vs. Tom Aspinall, but the status of the fight remains up in the air, despite Dana White previously sounding confident that it would take place.

UFC 303 will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, while other venues utilized during International Fight Week include the Las Vegas Convention Center, and Resorts World Las Vegas.

Among the options to headline the card are Jon Jones vs. Stipe Miocic, depending on “Bones'” timeframe for a return from injury.
