UFC Fight Night will return to Doha on Saturday, November 21, 2026, Visit Qatar has announced, with the event hosted once again at Ali Bin Hamad Al Attiyah Arena. Tickets go on sale on Friday, October 9, with early interest registration open ahead of the sale.
The announcement follows the success of UFC Fight Night: Tsarukyan vs. Hooker in November 2025, which marked UFC’s first ever event in Qatar.
The arena sold out, with Arman Tsarukyan submitting Dan Hooker in the main event to consolidate his position as a top lightweight contender, while Ian Machado Garry defeated Belal Muhammad in a co-main bout.
“Hosting UFC FIGHT NIGHT in Doha is an important addition to Qatar’s growing calendar of world-class sporting events, offering residents and visitors more exceptional experiences throughout the year. Building on the success of last year’s event, we look forward to welcoming UFC fans back to Doha and further strengthening Qatar’s position as a leading destination for major international sporting events,” Eng. Abdulaziz Ali Al-Mawlawi, Chief Executive Officer of Visit Qatar said in a statement.
“When I visited Doha last year, I was blown away by the people, the hospitality, the food, and everything the city has to offer. Our first event there was a huge success – the fans were amazing, the arena was sold out, and the fights delivered. I’m looking forward to putting on another great night for the fans in Qatar,” Dana White, UFC President and CEO added.
For Visit Qatar, the return fixture fits into a broader push to build a year-round sporting calendar that draws international audiences and converts major events into wider tourism experiences.
Further details on the card and fighters will be announced in due course.
