What It Costs

It costs nothing to create a basic FITE.TV account, which gets you access to a limited selection of free content. However, there are a few premium subscription packages available to you that you can stack and tailor to the type of content you like to watch. FITE.TV also hosts a ton of pay-per-view events that you have to pay for separately, although you don’t need any premium subscription to buy those. Those pay-per-views are almost always cheaper than UFC PPV shows, too, usually ringing in at between $15 and $50 in contrast to the $70 price tag of a UFC pay-per-view.

FITE+ is the standard premium FITE.TV plan which costs $5 per month. That gets you unlimited access to the entire catalog of on-demand content FITE.TV has to offer, including past events and pay-per-view shows 30 days after they air, with no annoying ads to interrupt your viewing. FITE+ subscribers can also enjoy a $2 discount on PPV events once a month.

There are three separate premium packages for wrestling fans as well. Impact+, which rings in at $8 per month or $72 per year (your first month is free), lets you enjoy live Impact Wrestling shows as well as the 3,000-hour-plus library of past events and highlights. Ring of Honor fans can sign up for HonorClub ($10/month or $100/year) which also includes live wrestling shows, ROH On Tour, the event archive, and exclusive discounts on ROH pay-per-view. Lastly, the $5/month NWA POWERRR plan gets you on-demand access to the National Wrestling Alliance catalog as well as three new episodes of NWA Powerrr each month.

Supported Devices

More good news for cord-cutters as well as those who like to stream on the go is that FITE.TV is compatible with pretty much all modern streaming platforms. That includes smart TVs, streaming sticks (Apple TV, Roku, Google Chromecast, etc.), smartphones and tablets (namely iOS, Android, and Amazon Fire mobile devices), and Xbox and PlayStation gaming consoles.

You can also stream FITE.TV right on your computer’s web browser without having to even download the FITE app. You can check out the full list of compatible devices for watching FITE.TV, along with instructions on how to watch,

This is what you need to know about top-secret UFC fighter contracts
With no union representation, the UFC retains lucrative rights
Isaac Moreno punches Henry Liu in the face during their mixed martial arts bout at the Strike Fight event at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., Dec. 8, 2012.

Since shooting past boxing in popularity in the early 2000s, the UFC has built a minted empire. A May 12 earnings call revealed that the Endeavor Group’s revenue from March 31, 2021, to April 1, 2022, passed $1 billion. This makes investors, entertainment groups, UFC president and promoter Dana White, and top-billing fighters very rich. For mixed martial art professionals, this comes at the cost of lower-level fighters and binding contracts.

Have you ever wondered what a UFC fighter's contract looks like? When an MMA competitor signs a contract to fight three to four annual fights, they give away representational rights. Instead of a union serving as an exclusive representative to collectively bargain with the UFC for wages, hours, and working conditions, each professional is on his or her own, operating essentially as an independent contractor. Under these agreements, fighters are obligated by the terms of contracts, no matter how onerous. And they have no recourse should they be summarily released.

Can you get a UFC PPV refund? What you need to know
What does UFC PPV cost? What about refunds? Understand where your money is going

UFC pay-per-view shows always feature the top talent in what is indisputably the top league in the entire sport, so they're usually the most fun to watch. That said, there will always be some events where fans come away unhappy for various reasons. Here's what you need to know about whether or not (and under what circumstances) you can get a UFC PPV refund.

All UFC pay-per-views air via ESPN+, a premium subscription streaming service that costs $70 per year. UFC PPV packages themselves are an added $75 on top of that. And we can admit it: At the end of the day, that's a lot of money for a UFC PPV, especially once you consider that this only covers the main card (which typically consists of only five fights) -- the preliminary and early preliminary cards are typically free to watch on ESPN+ and the broadcaster's TV channel -- and only a portion of those are the high-profile matchups that the fans are willing to pay for. That's a fair amount of cash to drop on a few 25-minute fights, if they even last that long, and doubly so if the main attraction turns out to be something of a dud.
