UFC is back with its final PPV of the 2021 calendar. UFC 269 will get underway at 6:00 p.m. ET with five fights on the early preliminary card on ESPN+. That will be followed at 8 p.m. ET with the preliminary card on ESPN2/ESPN+. There are currently four fights scheduled for that part of the show. The event is headlined by Charles Oliveira defending his lightweight title against Dustin Poirier.

  • #12 Geoff Neal vs. #14 Santiago Ponzinibbio, welterweight

UFC 269 gets kicked off with the early prelims at 6:00 p.m. ET which will air on ESPN+ and consists of five matches. The four match prelims are set to start at 8:00 p.m. ET on ESPN2 and ESPN+.

The main card is currently scheduled to get started at 10 p.m. ET, and will take place live on ESPN+ PPV. Even if it is delayed, that’s close enough to plan your evening accordingly. And if you only care about the two title fights — Amanda Nunes vs. Julianna Peña and Charles Oliveira vs. Dustin Poirier — those should get started in the 11 p.m. hour.
