UFC Freedom 250

UFC Freedom 250 (also known as UFC White House and UFC at the White House) was a mixed martial arts event produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship that took place on June 14, 2026, on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., United States. The event's name is a reference to the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence on the following July 4, 20 days later.

There was seating for roughly 4,300 people. No public seating was made available, with seats reserved for financial sponsors, political allies, and active-duty service members. The event marked the only UFC event to end with all fights ending by knockout, and also tied events UFC Fight Night: Rockhold vs. Bisping and UFC on ESPN: Santos vs. Hill for having all fights end by finish at a modern-era UFC event, which had 11 and 10 fights respectively.

The event was the most-watched exclusive live event on Paramount+ as of June 2026. It had 34 million viewers worldwide and was one of the most watched MMA events of all time. There was controversy surrounding the event's use of the White House to stage cage fighting, with most Americans disapproving of the idea according to a poll by Reuters/Ipsos.
