Bookmark this page and you will always know the exact major mixed-martial-arts pay-per-view slot that sits next on the calendar. The current tally stands at 313, set for June 2024, and the promotion’s matchmakers have already reserved arenas through card 319. Each new instalment arrives roughly every four-to-six weeks, so if today’s date is late summer 2024, expect the counter to climb within days.
Keeping track is simple: add one to the most-recent show you watched. If you saw the blockbuster headlined by the lightweight title fight, that was 312; the follow-up, therefore, is 313. Miss a show and the sequence still advances–numbers do not reset until the organisation decides to rebrand, something that has not happened since 2001. For bettors chasing early lines, knowing the next digit before sportsbooks update their dropdown menus is worth hard cash.
Hardcore fans keep spreadsheets listing gate receipts, PPV buys and doping results opposite each digit. The clean serial system makes those stats easy to sort: a quick filter shows every odd-numbered card held outside Nevada or every event above 300 that broke the million-buy mark. Casual viewers need none of that; they just want the headline and the date. Either way, the answer is 313 today and 314 tomorrow–count forward and you will never ask again.
How to read the event number in the official UFC poster
Check the top-left corner first: the bold white digit inside a black circle tells you the exact sequence of the fight night. If the circle reads 312, you’re looking at the 312th numbered show promoted by the Las Vegas–based promotion. Ignore any small print near the athlete names; only that encircled figure counts toward the running tally.
Occasionally, the digit hides inside the event logo itself. Scan the outer rim of the octagon graphic–tiny chrome numbers wrap the canvas, mirroring a speedometer. For pay-per-view cards, the same figure repeats on the lower ribbon banner beside the broadcast date. Miss it there, and you’ll mistake a Fight Night for a numbered pay show.
International posters shuffle placement. Abu Dhabi or São Paulo cards print the digit in Arabic or Portuguese, yet keep the same circular badge. If the image lacks the badge, the show is either a non-sequential “Fight Night” or an exhibition. Streaming thumbnails on the official app crop the badge; tap the poster to expand and reveal the figure.
Where to find the running order on the ESPN+ schedule
Open the ESPN+ app, hit the “Schedule” tab, pick the fight-night date, and scroll–each bout block lists the exact slot from early prelims straight through the main card; if the card shuffles, the same line refreshes within seconds so you never queue up the wrong matchup.
On desktop the route is identical: log in, choose the event, and the running order sits right under the poster image; tap the bell icon and ESPN+ pushes a phone alert the moment a new fight is promoted or demoted, sparing you from surprise walkouts while you hunt for snacks.
What to do when pay-per-view cards share the same number
Tag the later event with the year–search “UFC 263 2021” instead of the bare digit and the correct replay jumps to the top.
Bookmarks get messy when two shows carry identical digits; purge the old one, rename the folder “263-Ⅰ” and “263-Ⅱ”, then sync across devices so the TV app queues the right file.
Spreadsheets help collectors: add columns for date, city, main-event winner; a quick filter separates 259 held in Las Vegas from 259 hosted on Fight Island.
Reddit threads merge if titles collide; open the old post, append “(rescheduled)” to the headline, and the bot stops confusing the two line-ups.
Streaming platforms sometimes dump both shows into one season folder; manually edit the metadata, shift the air-date by one second, and the interface splits them again.
If you’re gifting a replay, write the exact month on the card so Aunt Karen doesn’t cue the wrong Adesanya bout and wonder why the belt changed hands twice in one night.
How to sync the ESPN+ countdown with your local time zone
Open the ESPN+ event page, hit the calendar icon beside the countdown, and pick "Add to Calendar". The file auto-detects your device zone; import it and the clock flips to your exact offset without math.
If the stamp still feels off, force-close the app, toggle location permission off then on, restart, and reload. The feed refreshes, pulls the correct UTC offset, and the timer snaps to your local minute.
Desktop viewers can click the three-dot menu under the countdown, choose "Change Time Zone," and type the city. A list drops–select yours, hit save, and the page reloads with the new hour baked in.
Mobile browsers sometimes cache the old offset. Clear site data for plus.espn.com, log back in, and the clock recalculates instantly.
ESPN+ also tweets the official GMT kickoff; copy that, paste into a converter like timeanddate.com, and you'll see the exact local bell.
Traveling? The app follows your phone settings. Land in Tokyo, switch the handset to JST, reopen the stream card, and the red numbers jump nine hours ahead.
Still seeing red? Check that the OS itself isn't stuck on manual zone; flip it to automatic, reboot, and the feed aligns within seconds.
How to bookmark the UFC stats page for live updates
Long-press the official Stats tab inside the Fight Pass or ESPN app, then tap the star icon; rename the bookmark to something like Live Strikes so it sits at the top of your mobile bar and reloads with one thumb.
Desktop users can hit Ctrl+D while the stats URL is open, drop it into a folder called Octagon Feed, and set Chrome to open that folder on startup; every new session auto-pulls the latest sig-strike percentages, takedown ratios, and judge scorecards before the broadcast team even mentions them.
How to set phone alerts for the next numbered card
Open the UFC app → tap the bell icon beside the upcoming PPV → allow notifications → toggle “Main Card Start” and “Weigh-In Reminder.” Android users: long-press the app → Notifications → turn on “Live Events.” iPhone: Settings → Notifications → UFC → enable Time-Sensitive alerts.
Prefer Google Calendar? Paste the event link into “Add URL,” set an alert 30 min before, and switch calendar color to red so it pops. Missed last weekend’s boxing upset? https://livefromquarantine.club/articles/barcelona-forward-one-goal-away-from-matching-club-legend-ronaldinho-and-more.html shows how one swing can flip odds–same logic applies when you lock in MMA props early.
If you follow multiple promotions, make a separate Gmail label “MMA alerts,” filter every press-release sender into it, then tell IFTTT to ping your phone only when the subject contains “PPV” plus the current month. No spam, just the next big show.

FAQ:
Which UFC event number is next after UFC 300?
The show that follows UFC 300 is UFC 301, scheduled for 4 May 2024 in Rio de Janeiro. The numbering keeps climbing by one for every pay-per-view, so once you know the last one you just add one.
How did the UFC end up at 300-plus events when the first one was only in 1993?
Early years were slow: only 29 numbered shows from 1993 to 2005. Once Zuffa took over and international markets opened, the pace jumped to roughly twelve big cards a year, plus quarterly “Fight Night” cards that still carried the next integer. That cadence—about one numbered show a month since 2010—pushed the counter past 300 in thirty-one years.
Do the “Fight Night” cards mess up the count, or are they part of it?
They’re part of it. The UFC tags every pay-per-view with the next integer; most Fight Night shows don’t get a number, but if a Fight Night is headlined by a title fight or lands on a special date it sometimes inherits the next digit. The bulk of the count, though, still comes from the monthly PPVs.
Is there a pattern to where the big milestone shows land—100, 200, 300?
100 and 200 both hit Las Vegas in July; 300 landed in April, also Vegas. The promotion likes T-Mobile Arena for anniversaries because it holds 20,000 and the date can be locked in a year ahead. Beyond that, no fixed rule—just whatever city bids highest and has a gap in the arena calendar.
