Paramount+Â will increase their subscription cost on January 15 ahead of their first UFC event on January 24.
The essential plan costs consumers $7.99, but that will increase by $1 to $8.99 per month. Meanwhile, the premium plan increases from $12.99 to $13.99 per month. Of course, this price increase is a result of the costs associated with the Paramount Network acquiring the exclusive broadcast rights to the UFC in a $7.7 billion deal that will see the promotion on Paramount+ for 7 years. Despite the cost increase, fans of the UFC will likely still save a great deal by not having to worry about the previous PPV model that was in place during the promotion’s time on ESPN+.
UFC 324 will go down on January 24th from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, with the vacant lightweight title main event between Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett. Additionally, former multi-division champion Amanda Nunes will return from retirement to square off with the new bantamweight queen Kayla Harrison.
