The UFC has confirmed its return to Abu Dhabi for UFC 333, with the event scheduled for Oct. 24 at Etihad Arena. The announcement keeps in place the promotion’s yearly tradition of staging a numbered October card in the Middle East.
Abu Dhabi has become a regular stop on the UFC calendar, and the city continues to serve as one of the organization’s key international destinations. Holding UFC 333 at Etihad Arena reinforces that ongoing partnership and underlines the market’s importance for major events outside the United States.
According to the announcement, UFC 333 will air on Paramount+. While the promotion revealed the date and venue, the early focus was on confirming the event’s return to Abu Dhabi rather than detailing the full fight lineup.
For fans tracking the UFC schedule, UFC 333 adds another high-profile fall event to the company’s slate. With Oct. 24 now locked in, attention will shift to how the card develops for the latest numbered show in Abu Dhabi.
