Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is taking over the nation\u2019s capital for the upcoming UFC White House<\/a> mixed martial arts (MMA) event, scheduled for Sunday, June 14, 2026 on the White House Lawn in Washington, DC. The entire fight card (see it here<\/a>) will air on Paramount+<\/a> digital network.<\/p>\n

Despite rumors of a potential name change (to this<\/a>), the \u201cFreedom 250\u201d extravaganza will begin on Friday night with the official press conference, carry on through Saturday with a slew of fan-friendly events<\/a>, and finish on Sunday with the official Fan Fest<\/a> and UFC White House watch party.<\/p>\n

Friday, June 12:
8:30 p.m. ET: UFC Freedom 250 Press Conference at Lincoln Memorial<\/p>\n

Saturday, June 13:
3:30 p.m. ET: UFC Freedom 250 Fan Fest at The Ellipse
8:30 p.m. ET: UFC Freedom 250 Ceremonial Weigh-Ins
9:30 p.m. ET: Zac Brown Band headlining concert fueled by Monster Energy<\/p>\n

Sunday, June 14:
3:30 p.m. ET: UFC Freedom 250 Fan Fest at The Ellipse
8 p.m. ET: UFC Freedom 250 Watch Party<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t just roll up at the last minute.<\/p>\n

The Freedom 250 Fan Fest is free to attend; however, you\u2019ll need a registered ticket (grab one here<\/a>) to gain access. As you might imagine, tickets are limited and high demand is expected, so don\u2019t wait until the last minute. You should also expect hotels to be fully booked and transportation to be a nightmare.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the Ellipse, we\u2019re going to have 100,000, maybe 50 to 100,000 people,\u201d UFC CEO Dana White told Pat McAfee. \u201cThey\u2019re building tremendous stages, and we\u2019re going to have massive screens of the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
