The Fight Pass settlement addressed automatic-renewal disclosures and cancellation practices for subscribers in eleven jurisdictions. The filing period ended in June 2025.
Current Status
The June 5, 2025 claim deadline passed, and the court entered final approval on June 12, 2025. Active subscribers historically could receive two free months without filing or could elect cash; inactive subscribers had to file to choose cash or a service credit. The official site posts the final order but no newer general notice confirming when every cash payment or credit was distributed.StatusFinal Approval; Distribution Not Announced

What Was the Fight Pass Lawsuit About?
Subscribers alleged that Zuffa and its subscription provider enrolled consumers in automatically renewing UFC Fight Pass plans without adequate disclosures about renewal charges and cancellation terms. The complaints asserted claims under state automatic-renewal laws, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, and related consumer laws. Defendants denied wrongdoing, maintained that the subscription terms were fairly disclosed and lawful, and settled without the court deciding which side was right.Who Was Included?
The settlement covers people who used a billing address in California, the District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Virginia, or Vermont and paid fees for an automatically renewing Fight Pass subscription from October 11, 2018 through January 21, 2025. It was not a nationwide class for every UFC viewer or for one-time purchases.What Benefits Were Available?
The settlement created a fund of up to $1.2 million. Active subscribers could elect a prorated cash payment of up to $9.99; otherwise, they were designated for two free months of service. Inactive subscribers had to claim either a two-month credit toward a new or reactivated subscription or the prorated cash option. Cash could be reduced depending on valid claims and approved deductions.Was a Claim Required?
A claim was required for an inactive subscriber to receive either benefit and for an active subscriber choosing cash. An active subscriber did not need to file to receive the automatic two-month service benefit under the settlement terms. Forms were due June 5, 2025. Those distinctions are historical and do not create a late filing opportunity now.What Happened at Final Approval?
The court held the approval proceeding in June 2025 and entered its final approval order and judgment on June 12. The order certified the settlement class, approved the agreement, and closed the case while retaining authority over settlement administration. Final approval was a necessary step, but it did not by itself prove that a particular check or account credit had already been delivered.When Were Benefits Expected?
The notice projected benefits approximately 60 days after final approval and completion of any appeal process. That projection was conditional. The official site’s current documents page confirms final approval but does not publish a later distribution-completion announcement. The accurate current description is final settlement with claims closed and public distribution timing not updated.What Should Former Subscribers Do?
Someone who filed on time should retain the claim confirmation and watch the official site for benefit information. An active subscriber expecting the automatic credit should keep account and billing records showing subscription status. No one should submit new payment credentials through an unofficial offer. OpenClassActions cannot reopen a claim, verify an account credit, or replace a cash payment.What Prospective Changes Were Included?
The agreement also required the defendants to comply with applicable automatic-renewal rules in the Fight Pass checkout and cancellation processes. That prospective relief is distinct from the cash or service-credit benefit: it concerns how renewal terms are presented and how subscriptions may be canceled going forward. It does not grant every current subscriber two free months outside the settlement class, and it does not convert a later billing disagreement into a claim under this closed case.Official Information
