UFC White House Card to Feature At Least Six Fights For Historic 2026 Event

Ari Emanuel, the Endeavor CEO and CEO and executive chairman of TKO Group Holdings, revealed some details about the historic UFC card that will take place on the White House's South Lawn on Sunday, June 14 (Flag Day).

In short, the event will have a capacity of 3,000-4,000 people on the South Lawn. There will be six or seven fights. Emanuel said he isn't sure what the card is going to be at this time, but he added that UFC president Dana White and others are "working pretty hard on it right now."

The event will be simulcast on CBS and Paramount+.

Emanuel appeared on the program with Mark Shapiro, the president of TKO Group.

The event will be held as part of a celebration of the United States' 250th anniversary. President Donald Trump first revealed the idea during a rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds last July. The event will also be held on his 80th birthday. In late August, White announced that the card was happening and that more details were forthcoming.

While the fighters are unknown at this time, Jon Jones and Alex Pereira have previously expressed their strong interest in having a superfight at the White House.
