The next card

UFC 332 is on Saturday 3 October 2026 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City — Sunday 4 October in Japan, with the main card from 09:00 JST (early prelims 05:00, prelims 07:00, per UFC). Before it, a UFC Fight Night in Las Vegas on Saturday 26 September (Sunday 27 September in Japan) is headlined by Rosas Jr. vs Barcelos, main card 09:00 JST (UFC). The previous numbered card, UFC 331, took place on 19 September, and Joshua Van kept the flyweight title.

All information below is as of 23 September 2026 and comes from UFC's own event pages. Cards move — fighters withdraw, bouts are added — so treat the card as a snapshot and the date and venue as the firm part.

Latest result — UFC 331

Joshua Van def. Alexandre Pantoja, unanimous decision (49-46, 48-47, 50-45) — 19 September 2026, Crypto.com Arena, Los Angeles (20 September JST). Van retained the flyweight title; UFC describes it as his second consecutive successful title defense, and the bout earned Fight of the Night. In the co-main, Arman Tsarukyan knocked out Mauricio Ruffy with elbows at 4:56 of round one (UFC results / official scorecards). Every result on the card: UFC 331: Van vs Pantoja 2.

A month earlier at UFC 330 (15 August, Xfinity Mobile Arena, Philadelphia), Islam Makhachev def. Ian Machado Garry by unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 48-47) to retain the welterweight title. Per UFC, it was his 17th straight UFC win, a new record for consecutive victories in the Octagon. In the co-main, Mackenzie Dern def. Gillian Robertson by unanimous decision to defend the women's strawweight title (UFC results). Card page: UFC 330: Makhachev vs Machado Garry.

2026 schedule from 22 August

Note on Doha (*): UFC's event page shows a 07:00 JST start on Sunday 22 November, while the page's own URL is dated 21 November. Check UFC's page for the confirmed local date and time. The table lists what UFC's events page showed on 23 September 2026; more events may be added.

UFC 331 — Van vs Pantoja 2 (19 September, Los Angeles) — completed

The rematch existed because the first fight ended before it started: at UFC 323 on 6 December 2025, Van took the flyweight title from Pantoja by TKO at 0:26 of round one. Twenty-six seconds answered nothing. This time they went the full five rounds, and all three judges scored it for Van. Every result →

UFC 332 — Silva vs Wang, Salt Lake City (3 October)

The date and building (the Delta Center, Salt Lake City) are now joined by a card. The main event is Natália Silva vs Wang Cong for the women's flyweight title, and the main card also includes Deiveson Figueiredo vs Payton Talbott at bantamweight.

UFC's Japanese event page publishes these Japan times:

UFC 333 — Volkanovski vs Evloev, Abu Dhabi (24 October)

On 24 October UFC is at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi with a featherweight title match between Alexander Volkanovski and Movsar Evloev. The same card carries a bantamweight title match between Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili (their previous meeting, UFC 323 in December 2025, went to Yan by unanimous decision). A Gulf start time lands in the JST small hours rather than mid-morning.

UFC's Japanese event page publishes these Japan times:

UFC 334 — Gane vs Hokit, New York (14 November)

A Madison Square Garden card headlined by Ciryl Gane vs Josh Hokit for the heavyweight title, with Kayla Harrison vs Amanda Nunes for the women's bantamweight title also booked. UFC's page lists early prelims at 07:00 JST on Sunday 15 November, prelims at 09:00 and the main card at 11:00. The US will be back on standard time by then, so the offset is +14 hours. The other numbered event on UFC's 2026 list, UFC 335 (12 December, T-Mobile Arena), has no card announced yet.

Shanghai (29 August) ran in the Japanese evening — completed

Nurmagomedov vs Song at the Oriental Sports Center had its main card at 19:00 JST (UFC), so it did not cost a Sunday morning; with an Asian card, the local and Japanese dates also match. Song Yadong won the main event by KO/TKO in round two, and Japan's Kai Asakura (KO/TKO, round two) and Rei Tsuruya (submission, round one) both won. See UFC Shanghai and Two Japanese Fighters, Two Finishes.

Reading the Japan start times

Check the JST times on that card's own UFC page (Japanese edition) first. UFC publishes Japan start times to the minute per event, which is more reliable than adding 13 hours to a US Eastern time from a news report. Use the offset table below only when no JST listing exists.

Japan is UTC+9 and does not observe daylight saving, so the offset does the work:

In 2026 US daylight time ends at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday 1 November (NIST), so the 7 November Fight Night and UFC 334 run at +14 hours.

A main card announced for 22:00 Saturday US Eastern starts 11:00 Sunday JST in the US summer. Don't memorise a fixed hour — UFC moves published start times per card. Apply +13 or +14 to the time on that card's page, and remember the Japanese date is one day later than the US date.

Watching from Japan

The Japanese route is U-NEXT, named by UFC as its distribution partner in Japan through 2031 (UFC); the Paramount+ change you may have read about is a United States arrangement and does not apply here. Costs, what UFC Fight Pass is actually for, and the full time-zone table are in How to Watch UFC in Japan.
