MIAMI – Dana White addressed the UFC’s ESPN deal coming to a close. The UFC’s exclusive negotiating window with ESPN ends Tuesday, where the promotion can now talk to other networks and potentially land a new home starting 2026. In 2018, the UFC and ESPN signed a five-year, $1.5 billion deal for domestic broadcast rights beginning in 2019. In early 2019, they extended the deal two years and added pay-per-view streaming rights. “When the window opens, we’ll obviously start talking to lots of different people and we’ll see what the options are out there,” White told MMA Junkie and other reporters at the UFC 314 post-fight press conference
