Garcia vs Benn Streams on Paramount+ Tonight With No Pay-Per-View: Main Card at 8 p.m. ET
Ryan Garcia defends his WBC welterweight title against Conor Benn tonight, Saturday 12 September, and in the US the whole card streams on Paramount+ with no pay-per-view fee. Any Paramount+ plan covers it, so a subscriber who already pays from $8.99 a month watches all nine bouts for nothing extra.
The fight is at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and is promoted by Dana White's Zuffa Boxing with Golden Boy Promotions. Paramount+ confirms the stream on its own event page, and UFC, which runs Zuffa Boxing, lists the same times in its official viewing guide.
What time does Garcia vs Benn start?
- Prelims: 5 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. PT
- Main card: 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT
- Main event ringwalk: not officially fixed; published reports put it at roughly 11 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. ET, depending on how long the undercard runs
Main events run to the clock of the fights before them, not a schedule. If the co-main ends early, Garcia and Benn walk out early, so tune in before 11 p.m. ET to be safe.
Do you need a pay-per-view to watch Garcia vs Benn on Paramount+?
No. Paramount+ says the event is included with every plan at no additional cost. Plans start at $8.99 a month or $89.99 a year, and Paramount+ has no free trial for new sign-ups. The stream also plays in the CBS Sports app for signed-in Paramount+ subscribers.
This is a real change in how big boxing nights reach US viewers. Title fights of this profile have usually sat behind a separate pay-per-view charge. Zuffa Boxing's deal puts them inside a standard streaming subscription instead, the same approach Netflix took with its NFL game in Melbourne, where every plan got the broadcast.
Who is on the card?
Garcia (25-2) makes the first defence of the belt he took from Mario Barrios. Benn (25-1) is chasing his first world title after his wins over Chris Eubank Jr. The main event is scheduled for 12 rounds.

How to watch outside the US
The stream is not Paramount+ everywhere. According to UFC's official broadcaster list:
- Paramount+: US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia and Germany
- DAZN: UK, Ireland, India and the rest of the world not listed here
- RMC: France
- U-Next: Japan
- TVP: Poland
UK and Irish viewers pay extra. There, the event is a DAZN pay-per-view, or it comes included with DAZN's Ultimate tier. The ringwalk lands at about 4 a.m. BST on Sunday 13 September. DAZN had not shown a PPV price in the listings we checked, so confirm it in the DAZN app before buying.
What to do before the main card
Update the Paramount+ app on your TV or streaming stick now, not at 7:59 p.m. Sign in once so you are not stuck on a login screen when the main card begins. If you cancelled Paramount+ earlier this year, restarting the monthly plan is the cheapest way in; you can cancel again after the fight. Paramount+ has also been adding exclusive series, including Avatar: Seven Havens, so the month is not only for one night. For how the service fits into the wider Paramount and Warner Bros. deal, see our report on the merger trial date. Sports fans juggling several apps can also compare it with ESPN Unlimited on YouTube TV.
