UFC Montevideo 2027: current status
The UFC has not been back since 2019. 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 Montevideo event for now.
No guesswork here: a UFC Montevideo 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 Montevideo, where it fights and how big the crowds get.

UFC Montevideo 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 UYU — a useful budget guide for a possible UFC Montevideo 2027 event.
| Seating area | Fight Night card | Numbered (PPV-level) card |
|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / balcony | UYU 2,400 – UYU 7,200 | UYU 3,600 – UYU 12,000 |
| Lower bowl | UYU 6,000 – UYU 18,000 | UYU 10,000 – UYU 36,000 |
| Floor seats | UYU 14,000 – UYU 48,000 | UYU 24,000 – UYU 100,000 |
| Cage-side / VIP packages | UYU 60,000 – UYU 160,000 | UYU 100,000 – UYU 320,000 |
Indicative face-value ranges in UYU, 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 the Antel Arena box office / Tickantel, 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 Montevideo 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 Montevideo 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, the Antel Arena box office / Tickantel 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 Montevideo: what to expect
A UFC event is more than one night. In Montevideo, 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 Montevideo, 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.
