UFC Fairfax 2027: current status
The UFC has not been back since 2015. That doesn't rule out a comeback — the promotion regularly revisits former markets for anniversary cards or local stars — but there is no sign of a 2027 Fairfax event for now.
No guesswork here: a UFC Fairfax 2027 date will appear on this page only after an official announcement. In the meantime, the history below shows how often the UFC comes to Fairfax, where it fights and how big the crowds get.
UFC in Fairfax: the full history
The UFC first came to Fairfax on January 11, 2010 with UFC Fight Night: Maynard vs. Diaz at Patriot Center. The card was headlined by Maynard and Diaz.
Since then the city has hosted 3 UFC events, all of them Fight Night or TV-level cards. The most recent was UFC Fight Night: Mendes vs. Lamas on April 4, 2015, with Mendes facing Lamas in the main event.
Attendance peaked at 8,078 fans for UFC Fight Night: Maynard vs. Diaz in 2010 — the reference point for how quickly tickets can disappear here.

UFC Fairfax 2027 ticket prices
UFC ticket prices depend on two things: the type of card and the demand in the city. The table below shows typical face-value ranges in USD — a useful budget guide for a possible UFC Fairfax 2027 event.
| Seating area | Fight Night card | Numbered (PPV-level) card |
|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / balcony | $60 – $180 | $90 – $300 |
| Lower bowl | $150 – $450 | $250 – $900 |
| Floor seats | $350 – $1,200 | $600 – $2,500 |
| Cage-side / VIP packages | $1,500 – $4,000 | $2,500 – $8,000 |
Indicative face-value ranges in USD, converted from typical UFC pricing and rounded. They are not official prices: the UFC and the venue set the real price list when tickets go on sale, and dynamic pricing can move them up or down.
Official tickets are usually sold through Ticketmaster or AXS (depending on the arena), with the link published on UFC.com at the on-sale. Fees and taxes are added on top in most markets.
How to get a UFC Fairfax 2027 presale code
1. UFC Fight Club presale
UFC Fight Club is the promotion's paid fan-club membership. Members traditionally get the first access window for UFC events, often a few days before everyone else, and sometimes better seat selection. If a UFC Fairfax 2027 event is announced, this is usually the earliest legitimate way in.
2. UFC newsletter presale
The next window is typically reserved for subscribers of the official UFC newsletter, who receive a presale code by email. It opens after the Fight Club presale and before the general on-sale.
3. Venue and partner presales
Depending on the arena, Ticketmaster or AXS (depending on the arena) and the venue itself may run their own presale for their mailing-list members. Some markets also have card-holder or sponsor presales.
4. General on-sale
Whatever remains goes on general sale, usually on a Friday. Big numbered cards can sell out quickly, so being ready with an account, a verified payment method and the right presale code makes a real difference.
Fight week in Fairfax: what to expect
If you go to a UFC event in Fairfax, plan for a long evening. Cards usually open with the early prelims several hours before the main event, and the headline fight rarely starts before late evening. The days before are busy too: media day, open workouts and the ceremonial weigh-ins often take place around the city and are a good way to see the fighters up close.
Ticket-wise, remember that the arena's layout matters. Upper tiers give the best overall view of the Octagon and the big screens, while floor seats are close to the action but flat, so smaller fans may see less. Check the seating plan published with the on-sale before choosing.
