• UFC has signed a multi year exclusive media rights agreement with FPT Play to broadcast UFC events in Vietnam.
• The deal gives FPT Play exclusive rights to distribute UFC content to viewers across Vietnam.

For TKO Group Holdings (NYSE:TKO), which owns UFC, this agreement adds another piece to its international media footprint. UFC already has a global fan base, and Vietnam is a market with growing interest in combat sports and digital streaming. Partnering with an exclusive local distributor can help TKO align UFC content with how viewers in Vietnam already consume sports and entertainment.

For investors, the key angle is that this type of country specific media deal can open up new ways to monetize existing UFC content. Over time, agreements like this can affect how you think about TKO's geographic mix of media exposure, its reach in Asia, and the role of local partners in expanding UFC's audience.

Key Considerations

• 📊 The Vietnam media rights deal extends UFC’s reach into a new market using existing content, which can support TKO’s international media footprint.
• 📊 It may be useful to watch how this and similar agreements influence media revenue mix, margins in Entertainment, and whether the current P/E of 70.69 moves closer to the industry average of 21.07.
• ⚠️ One flagged risk is that large one off items can impact reported results, so it is worth separating underlying earnings quality from headline numbers when assessing the impact of new deals.
