Details about an August UFC event.
A press release was issued via TKO to announce the details for UFC 330. The show is scheduled for August 15th at the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Below is the press release:
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)– UFC® announced today it will return to Philadelphia, PA on Saturday, August 15 for UFC® 330 at Xfinity Mobile Arena. UFC President and CEO Dana White and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro joined Pat McAfee, a native of Pennsylvania, on his show to make the announcement. The soon-to-be-announced fight card will be exclusively available on Paramount+ in the U.S. and Latin America. Ticket information for UFC® 330 will be announced in the coming weeks.
For the first time in fifteen years, UFC® returns to Xfinity Mobile Arena with a championship bout. The organization last brought a numbered card to the venue on August 6, 2011, when UFC® 133, at the then named Wells Fargo Center, was headlined by Rashad Evans and Tito Ortiz. The city last hosted a UFC Fight Night event on March 30, 2019, where Justin Gaethje knocked out Edson Barboza for Fight of the Night honors.
UFC® 330 adds to the list of major events that the state of Pennsylvania will host this year, which includes the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, the PGA Championship in Newtown Square and FIFA World Cup in Philadelphia.
“Philadelphia is hosting some of the biggest sporting events this year as part of the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary,” said UFC President and CEO Dana White. “It’s been fifteen years since the UFC brought a numbered event to the city, so now is the perfect time to go back. Philadelphia has always been a great fight town, and I can’t wait to return.”
“Pennsylvania is thrilled to host UFC 330 in Philadelphia, the first time a championship bout is coming back to the Commonwealth in fifteen years,” said Governor Josh Shapiro. “This is a huge year for Pennsylvania – all eyes are on the Commonwealth as we celebrate America 250 and host some of the biggest sporting events in the world in the place where it all started. From UFC and March Madness to the FIFA World Cup and the NFL Draft, we’re excited to host world class sporting events that will bring with them incredible opportunities for our businesses, our communities, and our fans. The Commonwealth is all in and we look forward to welcoming UFC back to Pennsylvania.”
“In a year when the eyes of the world will be on Philadelphia, we are proud to welcome the UFC back to Xfinity Mobile Arena,” said Daniel J. Hilferty, Chairman and CEO of Comcast Spectacor, “This is a city defined by its underdog mentality, its fighting spirit, and its championship pedigree. There is perhaps no more fitting stage for UFC 330 in 2026, and we are honored to be part of bringing this historic event to Philadelphia.”
UFC’s return to Philadelphia is part of a growing number of partnerships between TKO and government and private partners in communities around the world that are eager to host UFC’s marquee live events. Through these partnerships, UFC is reaching more fans in more markets, delivering memorable experiences while generating meaningful economic and cultural impact for host communities. Today’s announcement is one of a number of these partnerships expected in 2026.
