UFC 286: Edwards vs. Usman 3 is happening today at the O2 Arena in London, England, which means that anybody looking to watch it live will need to tune in at a different time than usual. With former welterweight champ Kamaru Usman gunning to reclaim his lost title from Leon Edwards following their last encounter at UFC 278, this isn’t an event that fight fans want to miss. If you’re among the many that will be watching the action today, we’ve got the run-down on the UFC 286 time, the schedules for all three fight cards, and details on how to watch the UFC 286 live stream, right here.
What time is the UFC fight tonight?
There are 15 fights on deck tonight, and as is typical with UFC PPV events, the matches are divided between three cards. UFC pay-per-views typically take place in Las Vegas with the main card (the pay-per-view portion of the show) starting at 10 p.m. ET. However, this event is happening in London, England, so the UFC 286 time is a little different than normal.
The UFC 286 time for the main card is 5 p.m. ET (2 p.m. PT), so U.S. fans should be ready to tune in five hours earlier than for most other UFC pay-per-views. Preceding this is the early preliminary and preliminary cards. The early prelims start the action off early at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT, with six matchups scheduled for this card. Following the early prelims is the preliminary card, featuring four bouts. It starts at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT.
The UFC blocks out roughly half an hour for main card fights, each of which lasts five rounds barring a stoppage. There are five fights on the main card, including the headlining championship trilogy bout between former champ Kamaru Usman and reigning champ Leon Edwards. These two will enter the Octagon last. Since UFC 286 time for the main card is 5 p.m. ET, you can expect to see Usman and Edwards do their ring walks no earlier than 9 p.m. ET (and probably closer to 9:30 p.m. or a little later).
