TKO has announced in a press release that it has continued its partnership with the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This will include the company bringing four UFC events and two WWE events to the venue each year. The new deal runs through 2030. The updated deal includes provisions for priority scheduling during key periods such as International Fight Week, as well as increased branding and retail presence for TKO properties inside the arena.
The partnership was originally formed in 2017 between UFC and Las Vegas Arena Company. It was the first of its kind, in which a sports brand, instead of a team, was named as a resident of a major venue. WWE events joined the deal in 2023 as a result of the TKO merger.
T-Mobile Arena has hosted 20 UFC events in the past eight years, all sold out, included several of the UFC’s highest-grossing events. They have hosted WWE events like Smackdown, NXT and RAW, particularly during Wrestlemania 41 weekend. That will happen again next year for Wrestlemania 42.
