TORONTO – TSN and RDS have extended their broadcast partnership with mixed martial arts organization UFC to include more content plus digital rights across a number of corporate platforms.
Under the terms of the agreement, TSN and RDS are the Canadian home for 22 UFC Fight Night main cards and late preliminaries, as well as preliminary fights ahead of UFC’s 12 pay-per-view events. TSN and RDS will also broadcast Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, focused on finding the next generation of UFC talent.
The Bell Media-owned sports networks will also distribute UFC content beyond linear broadcasts, including across social channels and via other platforms like short-form video content hub SnackableTV. In addition, Crave will feature a UFC collection where fans can stream content on demand, and TSN viewers will also have access to original UFC content from ESPN as a result of UFC’s exclusive agreement with ESPN and ESPN+ in the United States.
“We are incredibly excited to build on our strong relationship with UFC to extend our agreement as their Canadian home,” said TSN and Discovery Networks VP Shawn Redmond, in the news release. “This expanded partnership allows us to deliver even more UFC content across not only TSN and RDS but also Bell Media platforms, providing additional choice and coverage to our viewers.”
