UFC Yokohama 2027: current status
It has been a while: Yokohama's last UFC event dates back to 1997. We keep the page live because returns do happen, often with little warning, and fans on the alert list hear about it first.
We only publish a 2027 date, venue or fight card for Yokohama 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 Yokohama 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 JPY — a useful budget guide for a possible UFC Yokohama 2027 event.
| Seating area | Fight Night card | Numbered (PPV-level) card |
|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / balcony | ¥8,800 – ¥26,500 | ¥13,000 – ¥44,000 |
| Lower bowl | ¥22,000 – ¥66,000 | ¥37,000 – ¥130,000 |
| Floor seats | ¥51,500 – ¥175,000 | ¥88,000 – ¥370,000 |
| Cage-side / VIP packages | ¥220,000 – ¥590,000 | ¥370,000 – ¥1,175,000 |
Indicative face-value ranges in JPY, 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 official Japanese ticketing partner (e.g. e+ or Ticket Pia), 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 Yokohama 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 Yokohama 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 official Japanese ticketing partner (e.g. e+ or Ticket Pia) 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 Yokohama: what to expect
A UFC event is more than one night. In Yokohama, 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 Yokohama, 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.
