How to Watch UFC 317 (Topuria vs. Oliveira) on FireStick for Free

If you’re a fan of fighting and the UFC and own a FireStick, you probably want to know how to combine your passion and watch UFC on FireStick. But without knowing exactly what you need to do, it can be challenging to access UFC 317 on FireStick, including those critical title fights and PPV events.

You can catch the highlights on your regular cable channel or read news articles online to learn who won and who lost. But we all know that’s not the same. As a fan, you want to catch all of the action while it’s happening and see impressive moves live on your TV.

What Is the UFC?

This explanation may not be necessary, but for anyone unfamiliar with the global phenomenon of the UFC, here it is: The UFC, or the Ultimate Fighting Championship, is where the world’s best mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters gather.

With matches broadcast worldwide (130 countries and counting), the best boxers, wrestlers, martial artists, and more compete in no-holds-barred slugfest action. Many fights are also broadcast via full HD streaming, so you can get close to the action by watching everything on your home screen quickly and easily.

While we’d all like to attend the events in person, paying exorbitant ticket prices and dealing with crowds makes you reconsider. UFC events are often held in remote locations, making it challenging to attend them.

Any sports fan knows that if they can’t attend events in person, they need to be able to watch those events live. Fortunately, there are ways to watch UFC PPV title fights without breaking the bank, and some are free.

Read on to learn how to watch UFC on FireStick, including UFC PPV, through different streaming services.

Attention FireStick Users

Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users' online activities. If you use third-party streaming apps on your Fire TV Stick, you should always use a good FireStick VPN and hide your identity so your movie-viewing experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.

I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

Here is why you must use a VPN all the time.

How to Watch UFC on FireStick

You can watch UFC on your simple yet powerful device if you have an Amazon Fire Stick, Fire TV, or Fire TV Cube. The Amazon FireStick is extremely flexible, and you can extend its capabilities beyond the entertainment it offers natively.

To do this, you must install an app, which I’ll explain below. I’ll also discuss which app is best for watching UFC PPV events and which is best for regular UFC events that are not title fights. I’ll also offer guidance on whether these apps are free or how much you need to pay to use them.

Watching UFC 317: Topuria vs. Oliveira

June 28 is a key date to watch. It’s when the upcoming UFC 317 hits our screens. This UFC match will see Ilia Topuria go against Charles Oliveira in the lightweight title bout. It’s going to be another nail-biter this weekend.

This lightweight title bout pits two of the most exciting and dominant fighters in the UFC against each other. Ilia Topuria, a rising, undefeated star, steps up to challenge the seasoned former champion, Charles Oliveira, in what promises to be a thrilling encounter.

Ilia Topuria (16-0-0) is an undefeated force, known for his dangerous striking and high-level grappling. He recently vacated his Featherweight Championship to move up to the lightweight division and compete for the vacant title.

In his last bout, he defeated Max Holloway via KO (punches) in Round 3, defending his Featherweight Championship. This was a significant win as Holloway had never been stopped by strikes before. Before that, Topuria defeated Alexander Volkanovski via KO (punch) in Round 2 at UFC 298 and won the UFC Featherweight Championship. Now, let’s have a word about his rival.

Charles Oliveira (35-10-0, 1 NC) is a former UFC Lightweight Champion and holds numerous UFC records, including the most submission wins (16) and most finishes (20) in the organization’s history. In his last bout, he went against Michael Chandler and won via unanimous decision. Before that, he lost at UFC 300 against Arman Tsarukyan via split decision. Oliveira nearly secured submissions in this fight. Overall, it’s going to be an interesting bout as neither of the fighters is an absolute favorite to win this one.

How to Watch UFC 317 on FireStick or Fire TV in the US

I have covered the step-by-step process to live stream this event completely free. So read the complete guide if that is something you are looking for.

You can watch UFC live coverage on FireStick in the US without a cable. You can get a UFC Fight Pass to watch prelims and follow the UFC YouTube channel to catch highlights. For live action, subscribe to ESPN+ or get a Disney bundle to enable UFC action at home.

1. UFC Fight Pass (Prelims)

You can access Fight Pass on your FireStick through the UFC app.

1. From the FireStick home screen, go to Find and then Search.

2. Type UFC, then scroll below the virtual keyboard and select UFC Fight Pass.

3. Find UFC among Apps & Games and select it. Then, select ‘Get’ or ‘Download’ to install it on your device.

4. When it is installed, Open the app to launch it.

5. Click on the account avatar in the top right to sign in or purchase a subscription.

2. ESPN+ (UFC live coverage)

ESPN does not offer PPV events. For those, you need ESPN+. However, ESPN+ is only available outside of the US. If you live in another country, you must connect to a US VPN server to access UFC.

ESPN+ plans start at $11.99 per month or $119.99 per year. The company doesn’t offer any free trial, though. You must start with a monthly or yearly plan and purchase the UFC 317 card from the official website.

To access ESPN+, visit the ESPN+ website on any device (after connecting to a VPN server in the US). Select Sign Up Now and follow the instructions to activate your subscription.

On your FireStick, use the search function as previously demonstrated to find and install the ESPN+ app. Launch the app and enter your login details to start streaming live events.

3. ESPN (Prelims)

Although the ESPN+ subscription doesn’t include any ESPN live channels, it is a great option if you want a free way to watch the preliminaries. Just open the Amazon Silk Browser on your device and search for ESPN. You can easily navigate to the events you want to watch from the ESPN website’s home screen.

ESPN doesn’t broadcast PPV events, so you must use another app or addon to catch that action. I will discuss more free options later in the guide.

4. Hulu Disney Bundle

You can also bundle the ESPN+ streaming service with Disney and Hulu. Visit the official Hulu website and select your preferred plan to bundle with other Disney services. The cheapest Disney bundle starts at $16.99 per month, and the subscription price increases as you add live TV channels and other add-ons. Hulu is available to download from the Amazon App Store. Follow the guide below to install the app on FireStick.

Watch UFC 317 on FireStick in Canada

Here are the options.

TSN

TSN Canada streams all the major UFC fights in the neighboring country. The TSN app is not available on the Amazon App Store, so you must rely on the TSN web app via the Amazon Silk browser or sideload the Android app to watch UFC Fight Night without a cable subscription. The company recently launched a TSN+ streaming service, priced at CA$8 per month, which offers a good combination of entertainment and sports content to stream on FireStick.

Stream UFC 317 on FireStick in the UK

Please check these options:

TNT Sports

BT Sports has rebranded its streaming service as TNT Sports. It has the official rights to air UFC in the UK. Like TSN, TNT Sport doesn’t have a native app to offer on the Amazon AppStore. You can pay £ 30 per month for a TNT Sports Monthly Pass and enjoy major sports events, including cricket, Tennis, football, and other sports, on FireStick without a cable subscription. Ensure you use the Silk browser to stream the content.

However, you need to purchase the PPV card from TNT Sports Box Office for UFC Fight Night. It’s home to PPV events like WWE WrestleMania, major boxing matches, and UFC events. Once you have purchased the fight card, navigate to the TNT Sports Box Office on the Silk browser and sign in with your account details.

Watch UFC 317 on FireStick in Austria, Germany, and Italy

Here are the options:

DAZN

If you are a true sports fan, you need to have DAZN. This is a paid app, but it offers full HD streams and is well worth the price.

DAZN is a straightforward and easy-to-navigate app that provides access to the best UFC fights, PPV matches, and other MMA events like wrestling and boxing. Unfortunately, regional restrictions apply when using DAZN, so be sure you have a VPN handy in case you need to connect from another country.

You can find DAZN using the search function on your FireStick. Go to Find and Search, as demonstrated above, and then type in DAZN (just as we did for the UFC app above).

Once you’ve found it, select it and install it on your device.

Follow this guide to get DAZN on FireStick.

Free Apps to Watch UFC 317 on FireStick

Legal Disclaimer: This tutorial is purely educational. FireStickTricks.com doesn’t own, host, operate, resell, or distribute any streaming apps, addons, websites, IPTV or services. The page contains some unverified services, and we are not certain whether they hold legal licenses to distribute the content. FireStickTricks.com does not verify the legality of each app/service in all regions. Do your due diligence if you use any of the unverified apps/services, and stream only content that is available in the public domain. The end-user shall be solely responsible for the media accessed.

Many third-party apps and addons allow you to watch UFC PPV for free. However, as mentioned earlier, we cannot verify the legality of any of these sources. As such, we do not endorse or recommend them.

If you choose to use one of these apps, ensure you have a VPN, as there is no guarantee that these apps have the license to stream PPV events. Also, note that some apps may let you watch the preliminaries on ESPN or ESPN+, but they won’t necessarily grant you access to the PPV event. As such, you may need to experiment to find the ideal combination of apps that meets your needs.

Regardless of what you do, make sure you have a VPN enabled.

A trusted VPN service like ExpressVPN helps mitigate the risk of future legal action. Your ISP providers or the local government can’t see what you browse on your FireStick. Your location also remains anonymous with a hidden IP address.

Let’s learn how to connect to a VPN before we install free apps on your Fire TV Stick.

Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN HERE. It comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can use it free for the first 30 days, and if you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can ask for a full refund.

Step 2: Power ON your Fire TV Stick and go to Find, followed by the Search option.

Step 3: Now type “Expressvpn” (without quotes) in the search bar and select ExpressVPN when it appears in the search results.

Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on Fire TV / Stick.

Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials you created while buying the ExpressVPN subscription. Click Sign in.

Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. That’s all. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and best VPN for FireStick.

You can also read more detailed info on using ExpressVPN with Fire TV / Stick.

Now that you have secured your internet connection, here’s the list of free apps and addons to watch UFC Fight Night on FireStick.

IPTV Services

IPTV services are in trend these days. The IPTV providers have thousands of TV channels, movies, and TV shows on FireStick. The IPTV services carry the required channels to stream UFC matches on FireStick without a cable.

These IPTV providers are also affordable compared to official solutions. The only issue is identifying a reliable IPTV provider online. Don’t worry, though. You can review my list of the best IPTV services and pick one for your FireStick.

Sign up for an IPTV service and use it with IPTV players like IPTV Smarters or TiviMate. Don’t forget to integrate ExpressVPN, though. FireStickTricks can’t confirm the licensed content on these apps. It’s better to protect yourself with a VPN on FireStick.

Third-Party Apps and Kodi Addons

I have another option if you don’t want to go with IPTV providers. Using third-party video streaming apps on FireStick, you can watch UFC 317 matches free on FireStick without a cable.

There are several third-party streaming apps out there. I have selected the best sports streaming apps to watch UFC matches on FireStick. If you don’t find the content on your favorite third-party app, you can install another from my list. They are free, so there is no harm in trying them on FireStick.

For Kodi addons, you need to integrate the UFC Kodi addons with the Kodi app on FireStick.

These streaming apps and Kodi addons may carry unlicensed content. Do use ExpressVPN to be on the safer side.

Sports Streaming Websites

Cord-cutters can also use sports streaming websites on FireStick. You can use Amazon Silk Browser to visit these websites and watch UFC matches. You can also install Google Chrome on FireStick, but it doesn’t come with FireStick remote support, so you won’t get an ideal experience.

A word of caution, though. These websites are filled with ads and third-party trackers. Avoid sharing your personal or card details on sports streaming websites. For the best experience, it is recommended to use official apps or IPTV services and Kodi add-ons.

Conclusion

As you can see, there are many ways to watch UFC 317 on your FireStick. Your location will not be an obstacle, especially with a VPN.

If you’re a fan of MMA events and fighting, ensure you don’t miss what’s in store. While it would be great to watch UFC events live, it’s probably more sensible for most people to watch from the comfort of their homes.

After all, you couldn’t get that close to the action even if you were there in person!
