UFC 333: How to Watch Volkanovski vs. Evloev

UFC 333 brings Alexander Volkanovski’s featherweight title defense against Movsar Evloev to Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026. U.S. viewers can stream the event on Paramount+, with the main card scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. Eastern, or 11 a.m. Pacific.

The event is included with either Paramount+ subscription plan, rather than sold through a separate pay-per-view purchase. According to the streaming service’s event guide, the entire card is available without a cable subscription, and UFC 333 will not have a CBS simulcast.

Paramount+ lists its Essential plan at $8.99 monthly or $89.99 annually, while Premium costs $13.99 monthly or $139.99 annually, before applicable taxes. Both provide access to the fights, meaning viewers do not need the more expensive tier specifically to watch this event.

For viewers looking for a free livestream, the distinction is important: no additional event charge does not mean access without payment. Paramount+ explicitly says a subscription is required. Existing subscribers can watch without buying anything extra, but the official event information does not establish an unconditional free viewing option for newcomers.

The broadcast begins well before the championship bouts. Early prelims start at 10 a.m. Eastern, followed by prelims at noon Eastern, according to Paramount+. Those start times make this a daytime viewing appointment for U.S. audiences, rather than an evening main card, with the opening fights beginning at 7 a.m. Pacific.

Inside the arena on Yas Island, Volkanovski faces an undefeated challenger whom the venue identifies as the No. 1-ranked featherweight contender. A second championship contest anchors the co-main event, with bantamweight champion Petr Yan defending against former champion Merab Dvalishvili. The venue bills their meeting as the third fight in their rivalry.

UFC’s published main card also lists Lone’er Kavanagh against Ramazan Temirov at flyweight and Alexander Volkov against Rizvan Kuniev at heavyweight. Aaron Pico against Losene Keita completes the listed main-card lineup at featherweight. The prelims include Azamat Murzakanov against Dominick Reyes and Nikita Krylov against Abdul Rakhman Yakhyaev, both at light heavyweight.

The Abu Dhabi event is accompanied by Showdown Week, which the venue describes as seven days of fighter appearances, fan experiences, entertainment and other activities. For remote viewers, the immediate practical issue is selecting the correct broadcast window: the published main-card start is not a guaranteed start time for Volkanovski and Evloev’s individual bout.

Paramount+ says subscribers can watch through its app on supported devices and smart televisions, with fights uploaded for on-demand viewing shortly after they conclude. Viewers unable to follow the daytime broadcast can therefore use replay access. The service also cautions that fight cards are subject to change, making its event listing and UFC’s schedule the reference points for updates.
