TKO Extends Partnership with T-Mobile Arena Through 2030

LAS VEGAS – TKO Group Holdings announced on Wednesday that it has extended its landmark partnership with T-Mobile Arena through 2030, solidifying the venue as the official Las Vegas home for both UFC and WWE. The renewed agreement guarantees that a minimum of four UFC events and two WWE events will be held at the arena annually.
The deal reinforces Las Vegas’s status as the global epicenter for combat sports and builds upon a historic collaboration that began in 2017. That original agreement saw UFC become the first global sports brand, outside of a traditional pro sports franchise, to be named an Anchor Tenant of a major arena.
“T-Mobile Arena has been home to some of the most iconic UFC fights of the last decade,” said UFC President and CEO Dana White. “Five of our top 10 biggest gates have happened in that arena, and I look forward to breaking more records together.”
Peter Dropick, Executive Vice President for TKO, added that the company is “thrilled to expand this relationship across TKO to include both UFC and WWE events,” calling T-Mobile Arena a classic venue known for showcasing the biggest events in the world.
The venue has been a proven success for UFC. Since opening in 2016, it has hosted 20 sold-out UFC events, including five of the promotion’s top 10 all-time highest-grossing nights, such as UFC 229: KHABIB vs. MCGREGOR and UFC 300: PEREIRA vs. HILL.
The expanded agreement also highlights WWE’s growing presence in Las Vegas. Following the record-breaking success of WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium, T-Mobile Arena will continue its supporting role by hosting shows like SmackDown and Raw during WrestleMania 42 weekend in 2026.
Representatives from the arena’s management partners, AEG and MGM Resorts, echoed their excitement. “T-Mobile Arena was built to host the biggest events in the world, and our partnership with TKO has helped us deliver on that promise,” said Todd Goldstein, Chief Revenue Officer for AEG.
The new agreement also grants TKO priority scheduling for key events like International Fight Week and ensures a prominent branding presence for UFC and WWE throughout the venue, including co-headlining the welcome signage in the lobby.
