UFC 304 Start Time

Incredibly, unlike anything ever seen before, the main event will be taking place in the early hours of the location the event is taking place. This means Tom Aspinall and Leon Edwards might not fight until around 4 or 5 in the morning UK time, with the fight actually taking place in the UK!

This means you will need to get yourself prepared for a late night if you plan to watch UFC 304, with most of the fights not starting till Sunday morning. The preliminary card will start at around 1am, while the main card is set to get started from around 3am.

UFC fans will be accustomed to staying up late to watch these sorts of events when the main event typically begins in the early hours in the US, but you would have thought that in the UK it would be taking place much earlier.

So, if you thought that you might be settling down in the early evening to watch the prelims to get you in the mood for the Aspinall vs Blaydes and Edwards vs Muhammad fights, you might want to think again because the early prelims won’t begin till around 23:00 BST.

UFC 304 will not be on TV screens in the UK until 01:00 BST, with the exact instructions where you can watch the event shown next.
