Brooklyn has plenty of sports bars, but very few say on their own websites that they show UFC. This guide lists the ones that do, neighborhood by neighborhood, so you can watch UFC in Brooklyn without calling ten bars on a Saturday afternoon. If you are near Park Slope, our Park Slope UFC guide checks every card against our closing time.
The best places to watch UFC in Brooklyn are the bars that advertise UFC or fight nights on their own pages: Dive Bar BK and Clara’s in Bushwick, Kilo Bravo in Williamsburg, SET Lounge in Brighton Beach and Dave & Buster’s at Atlantic Center, with The Beer Garage in Park Slope for afternoon cards and prelims.
Every 2026 card streams on Paramount+ at home, and bars need a commercial license. See the bar table.
How do Brooklyn bars show UFC in 2026?
Brooklyn bars show UFC in 2026 under a commercial license, not a home streaming account. UFC left pay-per-view this year: under the seven-year deal Paramount and TKO announced on August 11, 2025, every UFC event in the United States streams on Paramount+, and select numbered events also air on CBS.
| Where you watch | What you need | Cost to you |
|---|---|---|
| At home | A Paramount+ subscription | No extra pay-per-view fee for numbered events |
| At a bar | The bar holds a commercial UFC license, sold by Joe Hand Promotions as a UFC Bundle or per event | Set by the bar; some list free entry, others may charge a cover |
| On CBS | Select numbered events only | Free over the air |
The practical point is simple. A bar that shows fights needs a license, so a bar that advertises UFC is more likely to have the card you want than one that says nothing. When in doubt, call and name the event.
- Pay-per-view is gone for UFC in the United States in 2026; the home option is Paramount+.
- To watch UFC in Brooklyn at a bar, pick one that says it shows UFC, then confirm the card by phone.
- Most Saturday main cards start at 8:00 PM or 9:00 PM ET, so check closing times too.
Where to watch UFC in Brooklyn, by neighborhood
Six Brooklyn bars say on their own website or official social page that they show UFC or fight nights, and most sit in North Brooklyn. We found none in Prospect Heights, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Crown Heights, Gowanus or Bensonhurst that says so, which does not mean none show fights; it means you should call.
| Bar | Address | Neighborhood | What its own page says | Screens |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dive Bar BK | 408 Troutman St | Bushwick | UFC main cards and prelims streamed in full | A ceiling screen plus several TVs |
| Clara’s | 53 Wilson Ave | Bushwick | Listed UFC 330 on August 15, 2026 with free entry | 14 TVs and a projector screen |
| Kilo Bravo | 180 N 10th St | Williamsburg | Regularly shows MMA events and fight nights | 3 large TVs |
| Emblem | 187 Graham Ave | East Williamsburg | Its Facebook page promoted an earlier UFC watch party (UFC 311) | 15 TVs, per that post |
| SET Lounge & Billiards | 3200 Coney Island Ave | Brighton Beach | Free UFC watch parties | 20+ screens |
| Dave & Buster’s Brooklyn | Atlantic Center | Downtown Brooklyn, by Barclays Center | Lists UFC fights among its events; takes table bookings | Not stated |
| Oceans 8 Billiards | 308 Flatbush Ave | Park Slope | Pay-per-view fights (UFC not named) | Not stated |
| The Beer Garage Park Slope | 148 5th Avenue | Park Slope | A full sports line-up (UFC not named) | Not published |
To be fair to the others: Clara’s and SET Lounge publish the most screens, and both list free entry for fights, which is more than we publish. Dave & Buster’s is the safest late-night choice near Barclays Center because it takes table bookings. Emblem’s UFC post is not recent, so call before you plan around it.
Neighborhood notes for UFC nights in Brooklyn
Where you watch UFC in Brooklyn mostly depends on which part of the borough you are in, because the confirmed fight bars cluster in three areas: North Brooklyn, the Barclays Center area and Brighton Beach.
Bushwick and Williamsburg
Bushwick and Williamsburg have the most bars that advertise UFC in Brooklyn. Dive Bar BK and Clara’s are both along the L train, and Kilo Bravo sits a short walk from Bedford Av. This is the area to pick for a late 9:00 PM ET main card.
Downtown Brooklyn and Park Slope
Around Barclays Center, Dave & Buster’s at Atlantic Center lists UFC and takes bookings. A few minutes south on 5th Avenue, The Beer Garage Park Slope suits afternoon Fight Nights and prelims, and closes at 11:00 PM ET on Saturdays. Our bars near Barclays Center guide has walking routes.
Brighton Beach and South Brooklyn
In South Brooklyn, SET Lounge & Billiards on Coney Island Avenue advertises free UFC watch parties and more than 20 screens. It is the only South Brooklyn bar we could confirm; Bay Ridge bars we checked did not mention UFC on their sites.
Which UFC cards are left in 2026?
As of October 18, 2026, UFC.com lists six more Saturday cards this year, and for a Brooklyn fan the one that matters most is UFC 334 at Madison Square Garden on November 14, the only card in New York. Its main card is set for 9:00 PM ET, so a North Brooklyn bar is the better bet for watching it live.
Two cards fall in daylight: UFC 333 in Abu Dhabi on October 24 (main card 2:00 PM ET) and the Doha Fight Night on November 21 (main card 1:00 PM ET). The rest start at 8:00 PM or 9:00 PM ET, including Las Vegas on October 31 and November 7, per UFC.com on October 18, 2026. The full list, with each card set against Park Slope closing time, is in our card-by-card Park Slope guide.
Getting to each Brooklyn UFC bar by subway
Every bar in this guide is near a subway station, and most of the North Brooklyn fight bars are on the L train.
| Bar | Nearest station | Lines |
|---|---|---|
| Dive Bar BK | Jefferson St | L |
| Clara’s | Jefferson St | L |
| Kilo Bravo | Bedford Av | L |
| Emblem | Montrose Av | L |
| SET Lounge & Billiards | Brighton Beach | B, Q |
| Dave & Buster’s Brooklyn | Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr | B, D, N, Q, R, 2, 3, 4, 5 |
| The Beer Garage Park Slope | Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr or Bergen St | B, D, N, Q, R, 2, 3, 4, 5 / 2, 3 |
UFC at The Beer Garage Park Slope
The Beer Garage Park Slope is a neighborhood sports bar in a converted garage at 148 5th Avenue, with the entrance on Douglass Street, and it is the right Brooklyn room for an afternoon Fight Night or a prelim card rather than a late main event.
The Beer Garage Park Slope
Our scores, using the method below: Afternoon cards 8/10 · Late main events 3/10 · Food through a card 8/10 · UFC stated on our site 2/10 · Distance from Barclays Center 8/10
Rotating local craft beer, homemade wings and a kitchen that is 100 per cent gluten-free at the Park Slope location make it an easy stop before or during a card.
- Best for: UFC 333 on October 24 (2:00 PM ET main card), the November 21 Fight Night (1:00 PM ET main card), and prelims on any Saturday.
- Skip if: you want a 9:00 PM ET main event live; go to Bushwick, Williamsburg or Dave & Buster’s.
- Possible downside: unlike Clara’s or SET Lounge, our site lists no screen count and no fight schedule, so phone the Park Slope bar at 718-576-3409 before you head over.
| Shareable between rounds | Description | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Calamari Fritti | Homemade marinara, lemon | $20 |
| Fried Shrimp | Homemade sweet chili | $17 |
| Mozzarella Sticks | Bar snack | $16 |
| Chicken Tenders | Honey mustard | $15 |
| Personal Pizza, Margherita | Toppings extra | $20 |
Gluten-free note: Among the Brooklyn fight bars on this page, only The Beer Garage Park Slope at 148 5th Avenue runs a kitchen that is 100 per cent gluten-free, which means no gluten in that kitchen to cross-contact with. Beer is a different story, since most beer has gluten; the Park Slope bartenders can tell you what to drink instead. Our Manhattan bar in the West Village uses a standard kitchen. If you have celiac disease, talk to the staff about your needs and use your own judgment.

How we built this guide
We built this guide to where to watch UFC in Brooklyn from primary sources read on September 17, 2026. We looked at more than 20 Brooklyn bars named in searches and kept only the 6 whose own website or official social page mentions UFC or fight nights; about a dozen others, including several in Bay Ridge and Williamsburg, said nothing about UFC. The schedule comes from UFC.com, the broadcast change from Paramount, and the licensing model from Joe Hand Promotions. We scored our own bar out of 10 using only what our website states, the same test we applied to every other bar.

FAQ
Where can I watch UFC in Brooklyn?
You can watch UFC in Brooklyn at bars that advertise fights on their own websites, including Dive Bar BK and Clara’s in Bushwick, Kilo Bravo in Williamsburg, SET Lounge and Billiards in Brighton Beach, and Dave and Buster’s at Atlantic Center. The Beer Garage in Park Slope suits afternoon cards and prelims. Call any bar first and name the card.
Do I need Paramount+ to watch UFC at a Brooklyn bar?
No, you do not need your own Paramount+ account to watch UFC at a Brooklyn bar. The bar covers it: venues that show fights buy a commercial license, which Joe Hand Promotions sells as a yearly UFC Bundle or one event at a time. Your home Paramount+ plan only covers watching at home, so a bar that advertises UFC is the safer pick.
Do Brooklyn bars charge a cover for UFC fights?
Some Brooklyn bars do not charge a cover for UFC fights. Clara’s in Bushwick listed free entry for UFC 330, and SET Lounge and Billiards in Brighton Beach advertises free UFC watch parties. Most other bars do not publish a cover policy, so ask when you call. The Beer Garage Park Slope does not publish one either.
Where can I watch a late UFC main event in Brooklyn?
For a UFC main event that starts at 8:00 PM or 9:00 PM ET, Brooklyn fans have the best odds in Bushwick and Williamsburg, where Dive Bar BK streams full main cards and Clara’s lists 14 TVs. Near Barclays Center, Dave and Buster’s at Atlantic Center takes table bookings. The Beer Garage Park Slope closes at 11:00 PM ET on Saturdays.
Where should Brooklyn fans watch UFC 334?
Brooklyn fans who cannot get to Madison Square Garden on Saturday, November 14, 2026 should pick a bar that stays open past midnight, because the UFC 334 main card starts at 9:00 PM ET. North Brooklyn fight bars suit that best. On September 28, 2026 UFC.com listed Gane vs Hokit as the main event, so check UFC.com for the full card.
Which Brooklyn UFC bar serves gluten-free food?
Of the Brooklyn bars in this guide, The Beer Garage Park Slope at 148 5th Avenue is the one with a fully gluten-free kitchen, from wings to burgers. It suits afternoon cards and prelims. Beer usually contains gluten, so check drinks with the bartender. Our Manhattan bar has a standard kitchen, and anyone with celiac disease should raise their needs with staff.
Final verdict
For a late main card, go where fights are advertised: Bushwick and Williamsburg in the north, Dave & Buster’s by Barclays Center, or SET Lounge in Brighton Beach. For an afternoon Fight Night or the prelims, we would be glad to see you at 148 5th Avenue in Park Slope. Wherever you go to watch UFC in Brooklyn, call first and name the card.
