The biggest UFC event of 2026 is still scheduled for June 14, 2026.
On Tuesday, several reports circulated online that the highly anticipated UFC White House event was being moved from Sunday, June 14 to Friday, June 26. Shortly afterward, UFC CEO Dana White went on social media and denied the date change, writing, “[The] media is so full of s—t. [UFC] White House fight date is the same, Sunday, June 14” on an Instagram story.
It’s hardly the first time White has gone to war with the “unprofessional scumbags” of the journalism world.
So, what do we know about the UFC White House card other than its scheduled date? The event is intended to be a celebration of America’s 250th birthday while also celebrating President Donald Trump’s June 14 birthday. The “baddest of all time” card is expected to feature multiple title fights and cost an estimated $60 million, which is triple the cost of the high-profile UFC Sphere event a couple years ago.
Who’s on the card? Currently, no bouts have been announced, but UFC allegedly has two possible plans in action and a full lineup ready. UFC superstar Conor McGregor has been vocal about returning to action atop the event. Additionally, two of the three current Lightweight champions have discussed fighting at the White House multiple times, so it feels quite possible that Ilia Topuria vs. Justin Gaethje is featured on the South Lawn.
Hopefully, some official fight news is announced sooner than later.
