Where to Watch UFC in Phuket 2025: Best Sports Bars & Pubs

Phuket, especially Patong, is an excellent spot for UFC fans thanks to its many expat-run sports bars with big screens, sound for main events, and lively crowds. Thailand’s time zone (GMT+7) means US PPV events often start early morning (prelims ~7-8 AM, main card ~9-10 AM Thailand time), while Fight Nights can be afternoon/evening. Bars frequently open early or show replays for big cards.

UFC events in Thailand are available via UFC Fight Pass (subscription ~$9.99 USD/month globally, with all PPVs extra ~$70-80 USD) or local cable/satellite providers like TrueVisions (sports package includes UFC). Many bars subscribe to these feeds.

Streaming Options: UFC Fight Pass app (best for English commentary, all events live/replays). Hotels often have TrueVisions.
PPV Cost: Around 900-1,000 THB equivalent on Fight Pass.
VPN Tip: For ESPN+ (US rights), use a VPN to access if needed, but local streams work fine in bars.

No major free legal options—bars are the go-to for atmosphere.
