I’ve always been keen to watch various popular PPV games or fights on my PlayStation 5. While I was considering many PPV fights on the PS5, I opted for the UFC PPV without any second thoughts because it’s a visual treat to watch my favorite fighters go one-on-one. The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) continues to draw my attention with more than 40 MMA events each year. Though I love playing the UFC 5 game on my PS5 as a UFA fanatic, the experience can’t match watching the real UFC PPV fight on the gaming console. This week, the Main event for UFC Fight Night is between the Song Yadong and Chris Gutierrez.
With the UFC app available on PS5, you can watch the UFC Fight Nights, PPV events, the best of UFC Fight archives, and exclusive UFC shows. I came up with this article to make sure all UFC fans like me get a chance to watch the match on their PS5. I have also mentioned some of the other possible alternative ways to stream the upcoming UFC games and highlights on the PS5 in this blog.

Alternative Ways to Watch UFC on PS5
Besides the UFC app and the ESPN app, you can watch UFC PPV events and main events on PlayStation 5 through various streaming services, including Hulu, YouTube TV, and Amazon Prime Video.
Hulu
Hulu on PS5 is where you can stream Originals, movies, and live sports in the best picture quality. You can purchase Disney Bundle Trio at $14.99/ month to access ESPN+ and stream UFC fights. If you want to go ad-free, you can purchase Disney Bundle Trio Premium at $24.99/ month. For an additional cost of $79.99/ event, you can watch UFC PPV events with Hulu. You can make use of its Cloud DVR to record live UFC fights for up to 50 hours and save for later viewing on your PlayStation 5 gaming console. You can also access the web version of Hulu to watch UFC fights using the PS5 web browser.
YouTube TV
When you are thinking of a streaming service to watch UFC, you can’t miss out on YouTube TV on PS5. The streaming service is known for its massive library of content ranging from on-demand entertainment to premium sports, including UFC events. By subscribing to YouTube TV at $72.99/ month, you can gain access to UFC main events online on your PlayStation 5. The streaming platform is available on the PlayStation Store on your PS5.

How to Screen Mirror UFC Fight Night on PS5
If you already have the UFC app on your other smart devices, you can use screen mirroring to watch UFC Fight Night on your PS5 with an active UFC Fight Pass subscription. PlayStation 5 does not natively offer support for screen mirroring. To bypass this restriction, I used the third-party Screen Mirroring website on my PS5 web browser. And to my surprise, it worked seamlessly for me. First, install the Screen Mirroring app on your smartphone from the Play Store or App Store.
Once downloaded, send the tve.app website URL as a message to a friend from the Game Base on the PS5 gaming console. Click on the URL to open the Screen Mirroring website on the PS5 and use the Screen Mirroring app to scan the QR code shown on the screen. After scanning, your phone screen will be mirrored to your PS5. You can now watch the UFC Fight Night and stream the UFC app on your PlayStation 5.
