ByMike ReichlinMixed Martial Arts Journalist

UFC 326: Holloway vs. Oliveira 2 takes place Saturday, March 7, 2026, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas — and for the first time in UFC history, select bouts will air live on CBS.

What’s on CBS vs. Paramount+

CBS will carry the promotion’s first-ever broadcast network telecast, simulcasting select bouts from 8:00–10:00 PM ET. Specifically, CBS airs the final hour of the prelims (8–9 PM ET) and the first hour of the main card (9–10 PM ET). The remainder of the main card — including the Max Holloway (c) vs. Charles Oliveira BMF Title headliner — continues exclusively on Paramount+.

The full broadcast breakdown is as follows: Early Prelims (5–7 PM ET) on Paramount+; Prelims (7–9 PM ET) on Paramount+, with the 8–9 PM hour simulcast on CBS; Main Card (9 PM–midnight ET) on Paramount+, with the 9–10 PM hour simulcast on CBS.

How to Watch Without Cable

Fans can watch the full event — from early prelims through the main card — by subscribing to Paramount+, with plans starting at $8.99/month. Those without cable can still catch the CBS simulcast portion for free via a digital antenna tuned to their local CBS affiliate, or through streaming TV services that carry CBS.

Main Card Fight Card

The UFC 326 main card features five bouts: Max Holloway (c) vs. Charles Oliveira (Lightweight, BMF Title); Caio Borralho vs. Reinier de Ridder (Middleweight); Rob Font vs. Raul Rosas Jr. (Bantamweight); Drew Dober vs. Michael Johnson (Lightweight); Gregory Rodrigues vs. Brunno Ferreira (Middleweight).

UFC 326 marks a landmark moment for the promotion, as the new Paramount/Skydance media rights agreement brings UFC to broadcast television on CBS for the first time. For full card details and fight previews, see our complete UFC 326 guide.
