United States
In the US, the entire UFC 328 event streams live on Paramount+, with the main card kicking off at 9:00 PM ET / 6:00 PM PT. The early prelims and prelims are also available on Paramount+. Jon Anik handles play-by-play commentary alongside Daniel Cormier and Joe Rogan, with Megan Olivi ringside for interviews and Bruce Buffer in the octagon.
United Kingdom
UK fans face their classic late-night session, as the main card starts at approximately 2:00 AM BST on Sunday, May 10, which means Khamzat Chimaev’s middleweight title defence is unlikely to begin before 4:00 AM for those watching the undercard first.
The main card airs live on TNT Sports 1 and is also accessible via HBO Max, EE TV, Virgin Media, Amazon Prime Video, and Sky Sports. The early prelims and regular prelims stream on UFC Fight Pass from 10:00 PM and midnight BST respectively.
Australia
Australian fans get arguably the best scheduling of any major market, as the UFC 328 main card starts at 11:00 AM AEST on Sunday, May 10, a prime-time Sunday session. Bars and venues across the country are already advertising doors open from 11:00 AM AEST, with the Chimaev-Strickland headliner unlikely to hit the octagon much before 1:00-1:30 PM local time. Western Australia viewers on AWST should note a 9:00 AM main card start.
