How To Watch Ufc On Apple Tv

So, you want to watch UFC on your Apple TV? Welcome to the club. My quest for octagon glory on my sleek, minimalist device has been... a journey.

The Streaming App Tango

First, the obvious. Do you have ESPN+? If not, stop right here. Go sign up. I'll wait.

Okay, back? Good. Because ESPN+ is basically the VIP pass to the UFC world these days. Think of it as the velvet rope for digital fight fans.

Now, open that shiny Apple TV. Find the ESPN app. Log in with your ESPN+ account. Voila! (Hopefully).

If you see a UFC event listed, you're golden. Click it. Watch fighters punch each other. Enjoy.

The PPV Predicament

But wait! There's a catch. A big, pay-per-view sized catch. Some UFC events are PPV. Meaning, you gotta shell out extra cash.

Yeah, it stings. It’s like buying a fancy coffee and then being charged extra for the sugar. Is sugar a basic human right? Probably. But that's a debate for another day.

To buy a PPV, you'll usually do it through the ESPN app on your Apple TV. Prepare your wallet.

The (Slightly) Sneakier Routes

Okay, unpopular opinion time. Sometimes, the ESPN app can be… temperamental. It's like that friend who always says they're "on their way" but shows up two hours late.

If the ESPN app is being difficult, consider other options. Hear me out.

Do you have the UFC Fight Pass app? It has some live events and a massive library of old fights. Plus, it’s like a time machine. Want to relive Ronda Rousey’s glory days? Fight Pass has you covered.

Another option? "AirPlay" from your iPhone or iPad. Open the ESPN app on your phone, start the stream, and then beam it to your Apple TV. A little workaround never hurt anyone (except maybe the app developers).

"AirPlay is my emergency backup plan. Like a parachute made of Wi-Fi signals."

Just make sure your devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. Unless you're trying to burn through your data plan. Which, honestly, is a valid life choice. I won't judge.

The Wi-Fi Woes

Speaking of Wi-Fi… is yours strong enough? Because nothing is more frustrating than a buffering UFC fight. It's like watching a slideshow of someone getting punched. The drama is lost.

Consider investing in a better router. Or yelling at your internet provider. Both are equally effective, in my experience.

The Final Round

So, there you have it. My (slightly chaotic) guide to watching UFC on Apple TV. It’s a blend of subscribing, paying extra, and occasionally resorting to digital MacGyvering.

But hey, at least you get to watch people beat each other up from the comfort of your couch. And isn’t that what life is all about?

Now go forth and enjoy the fights! And maybe keep a spare phone charger handy. Just in case.
