You might want to consider signing on to the annual package now before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-news\/401807\/deja-vu-paramount-getting-a-price-increase-early-2026-as-ufc-leaves-espn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the prices get hiked up<\/a> on January 15th.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Here\u2019s the deal as it stands now: for a $59.99 year subscription to Paramount+ Essential, fans in the United States will get all numbered events (formerly pay-per-views that cost $80), all Fight Night events, all Contender Series cards, any new Ultimate Fighter seasons, and Zuffa Boxing. They\u2019ve added a ton of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmamania.com\/ufc-paramount-plus-news-hub-fight-cards-schedule\/413613\/paramount-plus-ufc-archive-library-what-does-that-mean-subscribers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">past events and fights<\/a> to the service as well. And then there\u2019s whatever TV and movie offerings Paramount+ offers, if you\u2019re into that kind of thing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">But that $59.99 price is disappearing fast. In just four days, the annual subscription price is going up to $89.99 per year. That\u2019s thirty frickin\u2019 dollars more! Monthly tiers will also be going up in price, with Essential subscribers being bumped from $7.99 to $8.99 per month and Premium going from $12.99 to $13.99.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Paramount+ Premium\u2019s annual cost is also rising from $119.99 to $139.99.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">So what\u2019s the difference between Essential and Premium? It all comes down to ads. Essential is \u2018ad supported\u2019 which means you\u2019re gonna get ads during all the on-demand content you watch. That won\u2019t be the case with Premium \u2026 except when it comes to live sports like UFC. There are still ads being run during live sports, no matter which package you\u2019re on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">So here\u2019s our advice for getting the best bang for your buck coming into the UFC on Paramount+ era: sign up for Paramount+ Essential plan, because Premium won\u2019t stop you from getting ads during live UFC events. And sign up for the annual plan now before it raises by $30 dollars on January 15th. That\u2019ll lock you in til 2027. After that? Well, we all know nothing in this world is getting cheaper.
