Volkanovski vs Lopes: Now that's what I call HEATED RIVALRY

Alexander Volkanovski already beat Diego Lopes. But because Lopes is the number two featherweight UFC fighter in the world, he gets another shot at the belt. As you might expect, Volkanovski isn't going to let that happen without a fight, and he'll be enjoying the home-ground Aussie advantage against the Brazilian contender.

If you only care about the Alex Volkanovski vs Diego Lopes (or any other bout on the main card), streaming UFC 325 is a straightforward affair. But if you want to watch the whole UFC 325 shebang – main card, prelims, and early prelims – it's a bit more complicated because there isn't a one-stop UFC shop in Australia anymore.

Where can I stream the UFC 325 Volkanovski vs. Lopes main card? 


If you want to stream the UFC 325 main card, including Volkanovski vs Lopes, you're going to have to buy the pay-per-view (PPV). You don't need a subscription to purchase the UFC 325 PPV, but it will cost $59.95. If you do have a Kayo Sports subscription, it's still the same PPV fee.

Buying the PPV without a subscription gives you four days of Kayo Sports access to watch whatever you'd like. But if you want a Kayo Sports subscription, you've got two options. Pay $30 a month for Kayo Standard, which has one Full HD stream. Alternatively, spend $40 per month for Kayo Premium, which has two streams at up to 4K resolution.

Deal: 50% off Kayo Premium for six months

Until January 31, Optus customers can score 50% off Kayo Sports Premium for six months via Optus SubHub. That's $20 off per month at the current monthly cost of $40 per month. The cost of Kayo Premium will go up to $45.99 per month from February 5, after which the 50% off deal will save you $23.99 per month.

Here's a selection of Optus mobile plans that are eligible for the SubHub discount:

Min. cost $90

Note that the prices change to $29.99 and $45.99, respectively, from 5 February 2026. It's also worth flagging that UFC fights aren't typically broadcast at 4K resolution.

Typically, any sporting thing that's available on Kayo Sports is also streamable via Foxtel Now, Foxtel Go, and Foxtel IQ set-top boxes. The UFC 325 PPV FAQs state that the fight is only available for purchase on Kayo Sports or with a Foxtel IQ box. As you might expect, it's the same $59.95 PPV pricing.

Foxtel Sports + Movies typically costs $133 per month or $84 per month on a 12-month contract. And Foxtel Platinum Plus normally costs $150 per month or $99 per month on a 12-month contract.

What time does UFC 325 begin in Australia?

The PPV stream for UFC 325 starts at 1:00pm AEDT on Sunday 1st February 2026. There are four other main card fights ahead of Volkanovski vs Lopes, so don't expect that fight to happen for an hour or so. If you want to make a day of it, UFC 325 preshow starts at 8:00am. Early prelims kick off from 9:00am. And prelims start at 11:00am. The PPV is scheduled to wrap up at 5:30pm.

Where can I stream the UFC 325 prelims?


It used to be that buying a UFC PPV in Australia also included the earlier fights, but that's not the case anymore. If you want to stream the four preliminary fights of UFC 325, you won't find them on Kayo Sports or Foxtel. Instead, you can stream them for free via 10Play.

For a paid alternative, the preliminary fights are also accessible with a Paramount Plus subscription. At its cheapest, Paramount Plus Basic costs $7.99 per month or $70.99 per year for one Full HD stream (with ads). Ditch the ads and get a second simultaneous Full HD stream with Paramount Plus Standard, which costs $12.99 per month or $115.99 per year. Alternatively, pay $17.99 per month or $159.99 per year for Paramount Plus Premium, which offers four simultaneous streams at up to 4K resolution.

Where can I stream the UFC 325 early prelims?


You've got a couple of paid options if you want to stream the UFC 325 early prelims. Pay either $11.99 per month or $23.99 per quarter for UFC Fight Pass. Alternatively, grab one of those Paramount Plus subscriptions listed above. Paramount Plus also has an exclusive preshow hour ahead of the early prelim bouts.

Where can I stream other UFC PPVs?


While there aren't any specific timelines on the deal, Kayo Sports and Foxtel IQ are the two currently exclusive places to watch UFC PPV fights in Australia. Follow the same steps outlined above for any future UFC PPV events.

Where can I stream UFC Fight Nights?


UFC Fight Nights are available with a Paramount Plus subscription in Australia, including main card and prelim bouts. That Paramount Plus subscription also includes early prelims for UFC Fight Nights, which can also be accessed with a UFC Fight Pass.

What is Kayo Sports?


Kayo Sports is a standalone version of the Sports add-on for Foxtel Now. With a Kayo Sport subscription, you'll get access to the greatest number of sports in Australia, including AFL, NRL, cricket, tennis, and American sports like NFL, basketball, and baseball. The big disclaimer is that DAZN is now the owner of Foxtel, so it's anticipated that Kayo content will eventually shift to DAZN.

How does Kayo Sports compare?


Kayo is still the best sports streaming service in Australia if you're after a quantity of popular sports. While the price keeps creeping up, Kayo is the only place to watch the vast majority of AFL, NRL, and cricket matches in Australia.

It's improved since launch, offering a mix of live channels – including dedicated options for popular sports – individually highlighted live matches and replays. For popular sports, the replays are typically available as full matches or shorter 'Minis' (highlights packages). If you miss a live match that you're keen to experience fresh, Kayo has a no-spoilers toggle that's well worth enabling. Alternatively, skip to key match moments on longer replays.

Most Kayo content streams at Full HD resolution, but more 4K content is appearing for Kayo Premium subscribers, most notably for AFL and NRL matches. Like Netflix and other entertainment streaming services, Kayo also offers user profiles, which help personalise the sports you're being fed on the homepage. And if you've got a compatible device, Kayo also offers SplitView so you can stream multiple sports at the same time on the one screen.

Compare Kayo Sports to other popular sport streaming services.

Editor's pick: Great NBN 50 plans for streaming


Depending on which streaming service you're using and the resolution you're streaming at, you'll have different download speed needs. For Kayo Sports, Full HD streams need 7.5Mbps download speed, but for 4K events, you'll need 25Mbps of download speed. Foxtel IQ needs up to 20Mbps for streaming, but uses 7Mbps for HD content.

Paramount Plus uses 5Mbps download speeds for Full HD content, while streaming 4K content on Paramount Plus uses 25Mbps. Because UFC fights are typically broadcast at Full HD resolution, you'll need at least 7.5Mbps of available download speed to stream without buffering issues.

While you could get away with an NBN 25 plan for streaming UFC events, we recommend choosing an NBN 50 to ensure you have spare download speed for other online tasks. Here's a list of popular NBN 50 plans from our database.
