UFC Moscow 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 Moscow event for now.
We only publish a 2027 date, venue or fight card for Moscow once it is officially confirmed by the UFC. Until then, this page tracks the city's UFC record so you know what to expect — and our free alert tells you the moment tickets are announced.
UFC in Moscow: the full history
The UFC first came to Moscow on September 15, 2018 with UFC Fight Night: Hunt vs. Oleinik at Olimpiyskiy Stadium. The card was headlined by Hunt and Oleinik.
Since then the city has hosted 2 UFC events, all of them Fight Night or TV-level cards. The most recent was UFC Fight Night: Magomedsharipov vs. Kattar on November 9, 2019, with Magomedsharipov facing Kattar in the main event.
Attendance peaked at 22,603 fans for UFC Fight Night: Hunt vs. Oleinik in 2018 — the reference point for how quickly tickets can disappear here.

UFC Moscow 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 RUB — a useful budget guide for a possible UFC Moscow 2027 event.
| Seating area | Fight Night card | Numbered (PPV-level) card |
|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / balcony | ₽5,400 – ₽16,000 | ₽8,100 – ₽27,000 |
| Lower bowl | ₽13,500 – ₽40,500 | ₽22,500 – ₽81,000 |
| Floor seats | ₽31,500 – ₽110,000 | ₽54,000 – ₽225,000 |
| Cage-side / VIP packages | ₽135,000 – ₽360,000 | ₽225,000 – ₽720,000 |
Indicative face-value ranges in RUB, 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 venue's official ticketing partner, 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 Moscow 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 Moscow 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 venue's official ticketing partner 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 Moscow: what to expect
A UFC event is more than one night. In Moscow, 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 Moscow, 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.
