Apple Sports handles that as of version 4.6\. The update to the free iPhone app, released on Thursday, November 12, adds UFC, starting with UFC 334 on Saturday, November 14 and its two title fights. Apple's release notes promise "the full card of men's and women's events for every fight," from debuts to title fights, with round-by-round updates and a heat map of strikes. The same update adds three soccer leagues: the Chinese Super League, the Russian Premier League and Sweden's Allsvenskan. ## What a fight page shows Each event gets its own card in the app, split into the main card and the prelims, with every bout listed by weight class, each fighter's record and the betting favorite. For UFC 334, that means Ciryl Gane defending the heavyweight title against Josh Hokit, who is 10 and 0 and ranked fifth, followed by Kayla Harrison defending the women's bantamweight title against Amanda Nunes. ![Apple Sports on iPhone showing the UFC 334 fight card, with Gane vs. Hokit as the main event followed by Harrison vs. Nunes and the rest of the main card](https://www.techbetweenthelines.com/content/images/2026/11/apple-sports-ufc-fight-card.webp) The UFC 334 card in Apple Sports 4.6\. Screenshot: Tech Between the Lines Tap into a fight and you get the tale of the tape (height, weight, age, reach and stance), the current division rankings and a Follow button. Betting odds from DraftKings appear there too, as they have for other sports since the app launched. Once the fight starts, the round-by-round updates and the strike heat map take over. Engadget reports that fights will also get Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Apple Watch. ![Apple Sports fight page for Gane vs. Hokit showing betting odds, the tale of the tape and heavyweight rankings, with a Watch on Paramount+ link](https://www.techbetweenthelines.com/content/images/2026/11/apple-sports-ufc-fight-page.webp) The Gane vs. Hokit fight page, with odds, the tale of the tape and rankings. Screenshot: Tech Between the Lines You still can't watch a fight in Apple Sports. The fight page says "Watch on Paramount+," since Paramount holds the US rights to UFC events. So the app works as a second screen if you're watching on a TV, and as the way to find out who won the second round if you're stuck at a dinner. ## The app keeps adding sports Apple launched Apple Sports in February 2024 with basketball, hockey and soccer, and it has kept adding coverage since, including American football, tennis and a long list of soccer competitions (five more came in version 4.5.1 on October 20). A fight doesn't have a running score the way a basketball game does, and the strike heat map is Apple's answer to that. It also fits how Apple handles sports overall. Apple streams some events itself, like [Formula 1 under its five year deal in the US](https://www.techbetweenthelines.com/apple-lands-formula-1-in-five-year-exclusive-deal-completing-its-live-sports-trifecta/), but Apple Sports covers leagues whether Apple has the rights or not, and it points you to whoever does. If you watch fights on a big screen, our look at the [new Apple TV 4K and what Siri AI adds to it](https://www.techbetweenthelines.com/apple-tv-4k-4th-generation-price-release-date-siri-ai/) covers the other half of that setup. To get UFC, update Apple Sports from the App Store. The app is free and runs on iPhone with iOS 18 or later. Once it updates, you can follow UFC alongside your teams and leagues. The November 14 card is the first real test of how quickly those round-by-round updates arrive. If they land within seconds of the bell, plenty of fight fans will keep Apple Sports open next to Paramount+ for the rest of the season.
