Ilia Topuria works out for fans and media during a UFC open workout a few days before UFC 308.

The undefeated Ilia Topuria will defend his featherweight championship title against Max Holloway on top of a must-see fight card on Saturday. We've compiled everything you need to know about how to watch UFC 308 live streams, including a look at the main and preliminary fight cards.

Topuria is 15-0 in his professional record, earning his featherweight champion status when he knocked out Alexander Volkanovski at UFC 298. Max Holloway, who has a 26-7 record, will attempt to dethrone the champion on Saturday night. It's mostly business as usual for American UFC fans when it comes to viewing the fight. The main card will be available through an ESPN Plus subscription and an additional pay-per-view (PPV) fee. However, the fights will kick off much earlier than usual since UFC 308 takes place in the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.

No matter where you are, we'll make sure you can tune into today's fight card. Plus, we'll highlight a massive savings opportunity for US viewers who don't already have an ESPN Plus subscription.

How to watch UFC 308 in the US

UFC 308 will live stream through ESPN Plus in the US. Access to the main card requires both an ESPN Plus subscription and an additional PPV fee. ESPN subscriptions cost $11.99/month or $119.99/year, and the UFC 308 PPV fee is a flat rate of $79.99. If the subscription prices look a little different to you or your most recent billing statement, it's because ESPN Plus increased its subscription prices by $1/month or $10/year on October 17.

If you don't already have an ESPN Plus account, there's a solid savings opportunity for UFC fans planning to hang onto their subscription for the year. You can bundle an annual subscription (normally $119.99/year) and one PPV fee (normally $79.99/year) for just $134.98. That's a $65 difference from the $199.98 price tag of a normal annual plan and PPV fee, so it's well worth the savings. Just keep in mind that you'll still have to pay the PPV fee every time you want to watch the main card of a numbered UFC event.

Where to watch UFC 308 everywhere else

Most other countries also have access to UFC events. In the UK, you can watch through TNT Sports on Discovery Plus, which costs £19.99. Canadian UFC fans can get in on the action via UFC Fight Pass, which costs $65. If you're not from any of these countries, you should check your local listings for more information since there's a pretty good chance they offer UFC.

If you find yourself traveling in a region where you're unable to access your subscriptions, like those in the US and UK, you can still keep up with your usual apps and websites with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs allow you to change your electronic device's virtual location so that you can use them just like you would back home. ExpressVPN is our top pick, given its user-friendliness and 30-day money-back guarantee. Our ExpressVPN review has all the details, and we've outlined how to use a VPN below.

How to watch UFC 308 with a VPN

  • Sign up for a VPN if you don't already have one.

  • Turn it on and set it to the location of your chosen streaming service, like ESPN Plus (US) or Discovery Plus (UK).
  • Subscribe and pay the local PPV or subscription fee.
