UFC Los Angeles 2027: current status
The UFC's most recent visit was in 2026. With 1 event over the last five years, Los Angeles is an occasional stop rather than a fixed date on the calendar; a 2027 return is possible but unconfirmed.
No guesswork here: a UFC Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles, where it fights and how big the crowds get.
UFC in Los Angeles: the full history
The UFC first came to Los Angeles on May 27, 2006 with UFC 60: Hughes vs. Gracie at Staples Center. The card was headlined by Hughes and Gracie.
Since then the city has hosted 6 UFC events, including 5 numbered cards (the pay-per-view-level events). The most recent was UFC 331: Van vs. Pantoja 2 on September 19, 2026, with Van facing Pantoja in the main event.
Attendance peaked at 19,357 fans for UFC 331: Van vs. Pantoja 2 in 2026 — the reference point for how quickly tickets can disappear here.
Not every planned card went ahead: UFC 176: Aldo vs. Mendes II, scheduled for August 2, 2014, was cancelled — a reminder that UFC dates can move, and why it pays to follow official updates.

UFC Los Angeles 2027 ticket prices
Until an event is announced there is no official price list. What we can give you is a realistic range based on how the UFC prices its cards, converted to USD. Numbered events (the pay-per-view-level cards with title fights) cost noticeably more than Fight Night cards.
| 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles: what to expect
A UFC event is more than one night. In Los Angeles, as elsewhere, fight week normally includes open workouts, a pre-fight press conference for bigger cards, the official weigh-ins on Friday morning and the ceremonial weigh-ins in the afternoon — several of which are free to attend when they are open to the public. The fight card itself is split into early prelims, prelims and the main card, so doors typically open well before the main event.
For fans travelling to Los Angeles, the practical advice is simple: book accommodation as soon as a date is confirmed, because hotels near the arena fill up quickly, and plan your return for late at night — main events regularly finish close to midnight local time, and later still for cards scheduled for U.S. prime time.
