US President Donald Trump has confirmed that a live Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event will take place at the White House on June 14, 2026, the same day as his 80th birthday.
The announcement was made during his address in Norfolk, Virginia. Although the UFC has not yet officially confirmed the date, the event is expected to be held on the South Lawn of the White House as part of celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of American Independence.
