Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On August 11, 2025, TKO Group Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing a new media rights agreement with Paramount, a Skydance Corporation (“Paramount”), to distribute UFC events in the U.S. as further described in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The full text of the press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1 hereto) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 8.01

Other Events.

On August 11, 2025, the Company announced a new media rights agreement (the “Agreement”) with Paramount with a seven-year term and an average annual value (“AAV”) of $1.1 billion, through which Paramount will become the exclusive home of all UFC events in the U.S. beginning in 2026. Pursuant to the Agreement, UFC’s full slate of marquee numbered events and Fight Nights will be distributed via Paramount’s direct-to-consumer streaming platform, Paramount+, with select events to be simulcast on CBS, Paramount’s broadcast network. The Agreement’s payment schedule is weighted more toward the back end of the deal. We expect our revenue recognition to be consistent with our other large, media rights contracts and in line with the sports media rights industry standard of being similar each year with single digit percent annual escalators.
