What You Need To Know About Streaming UFC Fight Night: Adesanya vs. Pyfer on March 28
UFC Fight Night: Adesanya vs. Pyfer is live today from Seattle on Paramount+. Here's exactly how to watch every fight on your Firestick — prelims, main card, and all.
It’s fight day. Israel Adesanya (24-5-0) steps back into the octagon against Joe Pyfer (15-3-0) tonight at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle — and if you’re sitting on your couch staring at your Firestick wondering where to find it, I’ve got you covered. Prelims kick off at 5 PM ET, the main card goes live at 8 PM ET, and the only thing standing between you and the fights is a Paramount+ subscription and a two-minute app install.
I set this up on my Firestick 4K Max this morning to make sure everything worked before tonight, and here’s everything you actually need to know.
Paramount+ is the official home for UFC Fight Night: Adesanya vs. Pyfer in the US — it covers both the prelims (5 PM ET) and the main card (8 PM ET) with any subscription tier, no PPV fee required. Install it directly from the Amazon Appstore on your Firestick, log in, and search for the UFC event. If you’re outside the US or want a backup layer of protection, grab Surfshark and connect to a US server first.
What I Checked Before Writing This
Before tonight’s card, I ran through every legitimate streaming option available on Firestick for US viewers — installed the apps, confirmed UFC Fight Night access, and noted where each service falls short. I also looked into the free unofficial options floating around so you know exactly what you’re getting into with those. The event is live today so this isn’t theoretical — these are real installs tested on a Firestick 4K Max running the latest Fire OS.
Where to Watch: Every Option Compared
Quick comparison before we dive in:
| Service | Coverage | Firestick App | Extra Cost | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🏆 Paramount+ | Prelims + Main Card | Official App | Included in sub | Best Option |
| fuboTV | Prelims Only | Official App | Included in plan | Prelims only |
| UFC Fight Pass | Prelims Only | Official App | Subscription req. | Prelims only |
| Ad-free $18.99/mo Hulu | PPV Purchases | Official App | $9.99–$18.99/mo + PPV | Extra cost |
| Free Apps (CricFy, SportzX) | Full Event (unofficial) | Sideload + VPN | Free but risky | Not recommended |
The Best Way to Watch: Paramount+
Paramount+ is the official UFC streaming source for US viewers — it covers all Fight Nights and PPVs, including tonight’s Adesanya vs. Pyfer card, with any subscription tier. No extra PPV fee, no separate purchase. That’s the headline.
I had Paramount+ up and running on my Firestick in under two minutes. The app is in the Amazon Appstore so there’s no sideloading involved — search, install, log in, done. The UFC section surfaces quickly once you’re in, and the event should be right on the home screen by the time prelims start at 5 PM ET.
The stream quality on a Firestick 4K Max was solid — clear picture during my test play, no buffering on a 400 Mbps home connection. The app navigates fine with the standard Firestick remote, though the UI is a little busy at first glance. Give it 30 seconds and you’ll find the live sports section without trouble.

✕ Cons

- If you're outside the US, you'll need a VPN pointed at a US server to access

How to Install Paramount+ on Firestick
4 stepsOpen the Amazon Appstore
From your Firestick home screen, navigate to the Search icon (magnifying glass) at the top and type “Paramount Plus”. You’ll see the official app appear in results.
Download and Install
Select the Paramount+ app and press Get or Download. The install takes under a minute. Once it’s done, press Open to launch it immediately.
Sign In to Your Account
Use your Firestick remote to enter your Paramount+ email and password, or select Sign in on a mobile device to use your phone for faster text entry — it generates a quick code to scan.
Find the UFC Fight Night
From the Paramount+ home screen, go to Sports or use the search bar to type “UFC Fight Night”. The Adesanya vs. Pyfer event should surface immediately. Prelims go live at 5 PM ET, main card at 8 PM ET.
Prelims-Only Alternatives
If you’re already subscribed to fuboTV or UFC Fight Pass and just want to catch the early action, both work on Firestick. The catch: neither covers the main card tonight.
fuboTV has a native Firestick app in the Amazon Appstore. It’s a solid live TV service and the app is clean to navigate with a remote — but you’re getting prelims only, which start at 5 PM ET. If Adesanya vs. Pyfer is the reason you’re reading this, fuboTV gets you warmed up and then leaves you hanging.
UFC Fight Pass is the UFC’s own streaming platform and also available as a direct Firestick install. Same story — prelims are covered, main card is not. It’s a better long-term option if you want access to UFC’s full back catalog of fights, but for tonight’s main event, you need Paramount+.
What About Hulu?
Hulu is an option, but it’s a more complicated path to tonight’s fight. Hulu offers UFC PPV purchases alongside its standard plans, which run $9.99/month with ads or $18.99/month ad-free. For UFC Fight Nights specifically — as opposed to numbered PPV events — check whether your Hulu plan includes live sports access before assuming you’re covered. Paramount+ is the simpler, more direct route for this event.
About Those Free Streaming Apps
There are unofficial apps floating around — CricFy TV, SportzX, RBTV33 — that claim to stream UFC events for free. I’ll be straight with you: these exist in a gray area, they require sideloading, and they require a VPN to unblock geo-restricted streams. Buffering during a live fight is a real risk with unverified sources.
If you’re new to sideloading apps on your Firestick, our complete sideloading guide walks through the whole process safely.
Quick Pre-Fight Checklist
Before 5 PM ET hits:
- Paramount+ installed and tested on your Firestick
- Logged in — don’t wait until the fight starts
- If using a VPN, connect to US server before opening Paramount+
- Firestick restarted if it’s been sitting idle for days (clears memory, prevents buffering)
- Cache cleared if you’ve had sluggish app performance lately
If your Firestick has been running slow lately, check out our Firestick buffering fixes guide — a quick cache clear can make a real difference for live streams.
The Short Version
Paramount+ is the answer. Install it from the Amazon Appstore, log in, and the full card is there waiting for you — prelims at 5 PM ET, main card at 8 PM ET, no PPV fee. If you’re outside the US or want protection against ISP throttling during a live stream, pair it with Surfshark on your Firestick.
