2026 marks a huge year for the UFC. The new Paramount Plus era is set to kick off on Saturday 24th January with UFC 324 and of course, all eyes are on June’s UFC White House card.
Of course, it’s going to like nothing we’ve ever seen before, with the event set to take place on the lawn of the President’s White House. The event will celebrate the 250th anniversary of United States independence and we can assume a heavy American presence throughout the card. We’re expecting huge fights, but Donald Trump has released information that we never expected.
UFC White House Card – Trump Hints at Epic Night
Trump spoke at the Kennedy Centre Honours Red Carpet event last night, stating:
“It’s a big deal. The UFC on June 14. It’s going to be June 14th next year. They’re building an arena. The great Dana White is building an arena, and they’re going to have eight or nine championship fights, the biggest fights they’ve ever had. Every one is a championship fight, and every one is a legendary type of fight. He’s actually holding back fights right now for six months so he can do it for 250.”
He went on to explain a little of what he knows about the event itself:
“I think 250 (The UFC White House Card) is going to be amazing. I think the arena is going to have five or six thousand seats, right in front of the front door of the White House, and 100,000 people in the back, where they’re putting up eight or 10 very big screens. That’s going to be an exciting night. So many people are asking for tickets”

If Trump is to be believed, this is going to be huge. For context, there are only 11 divisions in the UFC, if you include the BMF title, that makes 12. Trump stated that there will be eight or nine title fights on the UFC White House card.
Previously, the maximum number of title fights on a card was three and more than likely, the UFC White House card will feature a main card (five fights), all featuring title fights. We have to remember that there are other numbered cards going on this year, which typically are headlined by title fights.
A UFC card with eight or nine title fights… roll on June!
