Prelims and Early Prelims Are Different Windows

“Prelims time” can mean the prelim block or the very first fight of the night. UFCTime breaks both out for UFC 333: Volkanovski vs Evloev instead of collapsing them into one vague answer.

Prelim Times Shift More Often

The UFC can publish a main card headline first and fill in the lower-card windows later. That is why UFCTime validates prelim timing directly against official UFC listings when those timestamps appear.

How Long the Prelims Last

A prelim block normally runs four bouts and takes about two hours, which is why the main card follows at Sat, Oct 24, 2:00 PM EDT. When a card has early prelims, they run before the prelims and add roughly one more hour.

Where the Prelims Are Shown

Prelims are not always on the same channel or service as the main card. In some countries the prelims are on a free or basic channel while the main card is behind a subscription or a pay-per-view. Check your country page for the route for each section.

Full-Card Watchers Need the Earlier Time

If you care about the full card experience, use early prelims at Sat, Oct 24, 10:00 AM EDT or prelims at Sat, Oct 24, 12:00 PM EDT, not just the main card at Sat, Oct 24, 2:00 PM EDT.
