We finally have the schedule for the final two premium numbered UFC events of 2026.
It feels like just yesterday that we rolled into 2026 excited for UFC 324, the UFC’s first event on Paramount+. We’re now eight months in, and the roadmap for the rest of the year is now clear.
According to posts on the official UFC X (formerly Twitter) account, UFC 334 will go down on November 14th at Madison Square Garden in New York City. And UFC 335 will take place on December 12th from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The locations for these events are not much of a surprise. The UFC has made a November pilgrimage to Madison Square Garden one of the constants on their schedule since 2016 (2020 being the exception due to COVID restrictions). A year end return to Las Vegas for December has also been a constant for a decade as well (barring a 2018 event which was moved from Nevada to California due to Jon Jones failing a drug test).
The specific dates are always good to know for anyone looking to make plans to attend these shows. And for those trying to read the tea leaves on what’s happening with the Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua fight, reports had UFC parent company TKO trying to arrange a Friday / Saturday one-two punch with Fury vs. Joshua on the 20th and UFC 334 on the Saturday.
UFC 334’s move to the weekend before the advertised Joshua vs. Fury fight may be a sign that TKO is taking a step back from Fury vs. Joshua, which has become a promotional debacle over the past few weeks.
No fights have been announced for either card.
