UFC plans a historic event on the White House South Lawn in summer 2026 as part of America's 250th anniversary celebration, with TKO potentially spending up to $60 million. Around 3,000-4,000 VIPs will attend cageside, with 85,000 more at a nearby viewing area; no public tickets. Dana White confirmed a built card of 6-7 fights, excluding Conor McGregor. Costs cover production without temporary stadium due to logistics. UFC expects no profit, viewing it as a prestige showcase. This unprecedented venue boosts UFC's global profile amid major anniversaries.
