TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of WWE and UFC, announced on Wednesday an extension of its partnership with the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The new agreement runs through 2030 and guarantees a minimum of two WWE and four UFC events will be held at the venue each year, solidifying a consistent presence for both brands in the city.
The deal formally integrates WWE into a relationship that began in 2017 between UFC and the arena. That original agreement established UFC as the first non-traditional sports franchise to become an anchor tenant of a major entertainment venue. This extension now leverages TKO’s combined portfolio to secure at least six total events annually in Las Vegas.
Peter Dropick, Executive Vice President of Event Development and Operations for TKO, commented on the expansion. “AEG and T-Mobile Arena have been tremendous partners over the past eight years, and we’re thrilled to expand this relationship across TKO to include both UFC and WWE events,” Dropick stated. “We’re proud that UFC and WWE will continue to be featured among T-Mobile Arena’s top events through the end of the decade.”
Reports indicate the agreement strengthens TKO’s strategic position in the Las Vegas market, which the company views as a major destination. The deal includes priority scheduling during key periods, such as UFC’s International Fight Week, and significant branding presence for TKO properties inside and outside the arena.
UFC President and CEO Dana White also commented on the long-standing relationship with the venue. “T-Mobile Arena has been home to some of the most iconic UFC fights of the last decade,” White said. “Five of our top 10 biggest gates have happened in that arena, and I look forward to breaking more records together.”
T-Mobile Arena has become a familiar location for WWE programming. Earlier this year, the venue hosted Raw, SmackDown, and NXT Stand & Deliver during WrestleMania 41 weekend. It is also scheduled to host Raw and SmackDown in 2026 as part of the events surrounding WrestleMania 42.
