The UFC has officially revealed the roadmap for the UFC Freedom 250 event.

Scheduled for Sunday, June 14, 2026, the card will be staged directly on the White House grounds, serving as a dual tribute to the United States 250th celebration of The Declaration of Independence.

While the actual fight site on the South Lawn is restricted to an exclusive invite-only guest list of roughly 5,000 people, the public has not been forgotten. The 52-acre Eclipse park adjacent to the White House will serve as the primary destination for the general public. Dana White has announced that 85,000 free passes will be made available for the “Ellipse Watch Party.” Insiders suggest that this seven-fight showcase is the most capital-intensive event the promotion has ever staged. The confirmed bouts are as follows.
