Is UFC 249 on TV? Live stream, start time and full fight card

Sport might be on lockdown across the world but there is one major event happening this weekend.

The UFC returns with its first promotion in almost two months with a bumper card.

It is being headlined by the interim lightweight title bout between Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaethje, and will be the first of three UFC events held in Florida in the coming weeks before future shows are moved to a private island in June.

One of the prelims is off after 'Jacare'Souza tested positive for Covid-19. He was due to fight Uriah Hall.

Here's everything you need to know about UFC 249:

Where and when is it?

It will be held behind closed doors at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida in the early hours of Sunday, May 10 (UK time).

What channel is it?

BT Sport 1 will show all the action live in the UK.

What time does it start at?

The prelims kick-off at 1am UK time, with the main card starting at 3am.
