The first professional sporting event ever staged on the grounds of the White House is selling ringside proximity for up to £1.15 million ($1.5 million), and neither the White House nor the UFC has disclosed where that money goes.
UFC Freedom 250 is scheduled for 14 June 2026 on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., coinciding with Flag Day and President Donald Trump's 80th birthday. The event's name references the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence. What began as a conversation between Trump and UFC chief Dana White has become one of the most logistically complex and politically debated sporting events in recent US history.
