The UFC is making history on June 14, 2026, as it brings a full fight card to the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C. UFC Freedom 250 is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. Eastern Time, with fans able to watch the entire main card live on Paramount+. The event is headlined by UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria and interim champion Justin Gaethje in a title unification fight.
The seven-fight main card will stream exclusively on Paramount+, according to UFC event information and broadcast listings. The card has attracted huge attention because of its unusual venue and the championship fights at the top of the lineup.
The main event features undefeated lightweight champion Ilia Topuria against interim champion Justin Gaethje. The winner leaves Washington as the undisputed king of the UFC lightweight division. The co-main event brings another major matchup as former champion Alex Pereira takes on Ciryl Gane in an interim heavyweight title fight.
The full lineup was confirmed by UFC event listings ahead of fight night. A custom-built arena and Octagon were installed on the South Lawn, creating one of the most unusual settings in UFC history.
