UFC Fight Night to Return to Doha in November 2026

UFC® Fight Night will return to Doha on 21 November 2026, with the event set to take place at the Ali Bin Hamad Al Attiyah (ABHA) Arena following the success of UFC’s debut event in Qatar last year.

Tickets will go on sale on 9 October 2026, while fans can register their interest through UFC’s official website for early access to tickets.

The event follows the successful staging of ‘UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs Hooker’ in November 2025, which marked UFC’s first event in Qatar and attracted fans from across the region.

Eng. Abdulaziz Ali Al Mawlawi, Chief Executive Officer of Visit Qatar, said, ‘Hosting UFC Fight Night in Doha is an important addition to Qatar’s growing calendar of world-class sporting events, offering residents and visitors more exceptional experiences throughout the year. Building on the success of last year’s event, we look forward to welcoming UFC fans back to Doha and further strengthening Qatar’s position as a leading destination for major international sporting events.’

Dana White, UFC President and CEO, said, ‘When I visited Doha last year, I was blown away by the people, the hospitality, the food, and everything the city has to offer.Our first event there was a huge success, the fans were amazing, the arena was sold out, and the fights delivered. I’m looking forward to putting on another great night for the fans in Qatar.’

The 2025 event featured standout performances from leading UFC athletes, including Arman Tsarukyan, who submitted Dan Hooker in the main event, and Ian Machado Garry, who defeated Belal Muhammad to continue his rise through the welterweight rankings.

The return of UFC Fight Night forms part of Qatar’s growing portfolio of international sporting events, which continue to attract athletes, fans and visitors from around the world.
