UFC TV channel in the UK: Full schedule for February and live stream details

It's set to be an exciting few weeks for UFC fans with a fight card each weekend for the next seven weeks.

It's an exciting time of the year for UK fans, with an event returning to London for the first time in three years next month.

Paddy 'The Baddy' Pimblett fights Kazula Vargas in his second UFC bout this March when the promotion comes to the UK for the first time since 2019, with fellow Scouser Molly McCann will also fight on the preliminary card against the Brazilian mixed martial artist Luana Carolina.

And Tom Aspinall, who fights out of Liverpool, will headline the event in what is a huge opportunity for him to leap into championship contention when he takes on the number five ranked heavyweight in Russian Alexander Volkov.

UFC London takes place on March 19 at the O2 Arena.

But before that, five other events will take place over in the United States, and all will be show on UK television.

It all kicks off this weekend with UFC 271. Here's all the information on the upcoming cards this month.

February 12: UFC 271

The main event of this card has the potential to be one of the greatest of the year, with Israel Adesanya facing fellow countryman Robert Whittaker in Houston, Texas.

Adesanya has proven himself to be one of the greatest strikers in the UFC, winning 15 of his 22 fights by KO.

He'll face Whittaker for the second time after their exciting 2019 first bout, which saw Adesanya win by KO in the second round.

Since then, Whittaker has gone on an impressive three match winning streak, defeating Liverpool's Darren Till, Jared Cannonier and Kelvin Gastelum.

Elsewhere on the card will see arguably the two most exciting heavyweights face off against one another when Tai Tuivasa faces Derrick Lewis.

February 19: Dos Anjos vs Fisiev

This will see a legend of the sport come up against an exciting prospect within the industry.

A long-time rival of Conor McGregor, Rafael dos Anjos is a highly-respected fighter and welterweight and lightweight champion.

But coming towards the end of his career, he'll meet someone who will hope to use the fight to vault himself into title contention in Rafael Fisiev.

Also in action on the night the athletic light heavyweight Johny Walker - who famously dislocated his shoulder whilst doing the worm in the octagon as he celebrated a victory - will return to action and face Jamahal Hill.

February 26: Dariush vs Makhachev

And in the last card of the month, Beneil Dariush will hope to continue his seven win streak up against Islam Makhachev, who is currently on a nine win streak and has been on a tear since entering the UFC.

The submission specialist from Dagestan is hoping to enter the title frame, and could do so with a win over Dariush.

How to watch each event

BT Sport will be showing all the action from all three events on BT Sport 1.

In the United States, viewers will have to pay from $40-70 for the event. However in the UK, BT Sport will show the fights to subscribers at no extra cost.
