Since opening on the Las Vegas Strip in 2016, T-Mobile Arena has rapidly become the UFC’s premier stage for modern supercards and milestone events. With a capacity of roughly 20,000 for combat sports and state-of-the-art production, the venue is built to showcase championship walkouts, hall-of-fame inductions, and week-long fan festivals that define the promotion’s biggest weeks each year. Its location between the Strip and Park MGM also makes it a logistical hub for media, sponsors, and international fans traveling to Las Vegas.
The relationship between the UFC and T-Mobile Arena solidified immediately with UFC 200 in July 2016, a stacked card that signaled the organization’s new ownership era. Since then, the arena has hosted numerous numbered events, including UFC 229, UFC 276, and UFC 300, alongside Hall of Fame ceremonies and fan experiences during International Fight Week. These nights have produced some of the highest gates and pay-per-view numbers in UFC history, cementing T-Mobile as the de facto “home arena” for the promotion’s most ambitious lineups.
