Sports Bars in Pattaya (General)
Pattaya’s sports bars are concentrated in areas like Soi LK Metro, Soi Buakhao, and Beach Road. Top ones for any sport (including UFC) include the above, plus:
- Outback Sports Bar
- Megabreak (pool + sports)
- The Loft Pub (more relaxed, East Pattaya)
Many are expat-friendly with Western food, pool tables, and cold beers.
Can You Stream UFC in Thailand?
Yes, options include:
- UFC Fight Pass — Official app/service for prelims, library, and some live events. Subscription ~$9.99/month. Works well in Thailand.
- For main PPVs: Often requires ESPN+ access (geo-blocked), so use a VPN to connect to a US server.
- Local: Some events air on Channel 8 (RS Thailand) or TrueVisions cable packages.
- Unofficial streams are common but risky/illegal – stick to official for reliability.
Hotels with Sports Channels/Live UFC
Few hotels guarantee live UFC in rooms, but many with on-site sports bars or TrueVisions cable will have it:
- I-Rovers Hotel (800 Thb per night – A$40 GBP19 US$) — Best bet; watch in the bar downstairs.
- Larger resorts/hotels with sports bars (e.g., Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya or Centara properties) often have multi-channel setups – ask about TrueVisions sports packages.
- High-end spots like Hilton Pattaya or Holiday Inn may have bars showing events, but confirm in advance.
Call ahead or check hotel reviews/Facebook for UFC-specific mentions.
Has UFC Ever Had a Fight/Event in Thailand?
No, the UFC has never held an official event (numbered PPV or Fight Night) in Thailand. Despite Thailand’s massive Muay Thai/MMA culture and many fighters training there (e.g., at Tiger Muay Thai or Bangtao), all UFC events have been elsewhere (lots in Singapore, Japan, etc.). There is a local promotion called Thailand Fighting Championship, but it’s not UFC-affiliated.
If you’re into live MMA in Thailand, check ONE Championship – they host events there regularly.
Enjoy the fights!
