The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has confirmed a major event at the White House on June 14, 2026, coinciding with Flag Day, America's 250th anniversary, and President Donald Trump's 80th birthday. The fight card will take place on the South Lawn in Washington, D.C., with Dana White outlining plans for 5,000 attendees and additional viewing for 85,000 in a nearby park. TKO executives describe the multimillion-dollar spectacle as a long-term investment rather than a profit-making venture.
