PPV main card (Sat) start at 03:00 UK time (GMT/BST). The full slot-by-slot conversion is below — times shift slightly when daylight saving changes on either side.
Why do UFC times keep changing in the UK?
Daylight saving. When the clocks change in the home country or in the UK (and they rarely change on the same weekend), every start time shifts by an hour for a few weeks. The table on this page is recalculated daily, so it's always the current conversion.
What time do UFC main events actually start?
On a pay-per-view, the main card starts 10pm ET but the main event walks around 12:15–12:45am ET — roughly 5am in the UK and 2–3pm Sunday on Australia's east coast.
How long does a UFC event last?
From early prelims to the main event is 6+ hours; the main card alone runs about three. Rounds are five minutes — three per fight, five for main events and title fights.
