Streaming Guide for UFC 331 Flyweight Title Rematch
UFC 331 takes place at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sept. 19, with Joshua Van defending his flyweight title against Alexandre Pantoja. The event streams on Paramount+ without pay-per-view fees, with subscriptions starting at $8.99 per month. The main card begins at 9 p.m. ET, and the main event is expected around 11:15 p.m. ET.
This rematch stems from Van's decisive TKO victory over Pantoja at UFC 323 in Las Vegas in December 2025, a win that secured the flyweight championship. Both fighters carry recognizable walkout tracks into the octagon, with Van favoring Chief Keef's "I Don't Know Dem" and Pantoja entering to 50 Cent's "Many Men (Wish Death)." The event spans three broadcast blocks, beginning with early prelims at 5 p.m. ET and building toward the title fight late in the evening.
Paramount+ serves as the exclusive streaming home for UFC 331, eliminating traditional pay-per-view costs entirely. The Essential tier runs $8.99 monthly, while the ad-free option at $12.99 bundles Showtime and local CBS access. A Walmart+ subscription offers an alternative entry point, bundling Paramount+ access with its retail membership for roughly a dollar during its trial period.
The shift away from pay-per-view pricing could meaningfully broaden combat sports viewership, making title fights accessible to casual fans who previously balked at premium costs. This model may pressure other sports leagues to reconsider their own distribution strategies, though its long-term viability depends on whether subscription revenue offsets lost PPV income. Younger audiences accustomed to streaming platforms may become the primary beneficiaries, potentially reshaping how fight-night events are consumed and marketed.
