Attention all fight fans: You don’t have to break the bank to watch UFC 324! But here’s where it gets controversial—there’s a completely legal, no-cost way to stream the event, and it’s easier than you think. Whether you’re in the U.S. or traveling abroad, this guide will show you how to catch every punch, kick, and takedown without spending a dime. And this is the part most people miss—it’s all about leveraging a clever combination of free trials and smart tools.
Here’s the deal: UFC 324 kicked off on Saturday, January 24, at 9 p.m. ET, and the main event features Justin Gaethje’s explosive American power against Paddy Pimblett’s unpredictable Irish flair. For U.S. viewers, the key is Walmart+. Members get Paramount+ for free as part of a 30-day trial (https://goto.walmart.com/c/1943169/568844/9383?subId1=trd-gb-1460976745083113364&sharedId=trd-gb&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fplus), which streams UFC 324 live and on replay—no messy sign-ups, no surprise charges, just pure fight night action. But here’s the kicker: Even if you’re outside the U.S., you can still access this deal using a VPN like NordVPN (http://go.nordvpn.net/affc?offerid=564&urlid=10992&affid=3013&affclickid=trd-gb-6890060625804274279&aff_sub2=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.techradar.com%2Fhow-to-watch%2Ftheres-a-sneaky-way-to-watch-ufc-324-for-free). This tool unblocks geo-restrictions, letting you stream Paramount+ from anywhere.
Now, here’s where opinions might clash: Some argue that using VPNs to access region-locked content is a gray area, even if you’re paying for the service. But for travelers or expats, it’s a lifeline to their favorite shows and events. So, is it fair play or bending the rules? Let’s debate that in the comments!
Here’s how to get started:
- Sign up for Walmart+’s 30-day free trial, which includes Paramount+ (https://goto.walmart.com/c/1943169/568844/9383?subId1=trd-gb-2638288256073520656&sharedId=trd-gb&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fplus).
- If you’re outside the U.S., download NordVPN and connect to a U.S.-based server (like New York).
- Open Paramount+ (or Walmart+) in your browser—Chrome’s Incognito mode works best for a smooth experience.
- Stream UFC 324 live or on replay without spending a penny. Just remember to cancel both trials before they end to avoid charges.
For the tech-savvy, combining the Walmart+/Paramount+ trial with Surfshark’s free trial means literally zero cost—provided you’re diligent about cancellations. And if you’re wondering whether NordVPN is worth it, our in-house expert Mike (who tests VPNs 24/7) rates it top for streaming, security, and price (https://www.techradar.com/vpn/best-vpn).
But here’s a thought-provoking question: With so many free trial hacks available, are streaming services losing out, or are they just giving viewers what they want? Share your thoughts below!
