TKO Group to pay out second consecutive $150M dividend as UFC revenues hit record highs

TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of the UFC and WWE, will pay out $150 million in dividends to Class A common stockholders on June 30, 2026 — the second consecutive quarter in which the company has issued such a payment. Shareholders will receive $0.79 per share in the latest distribution, mirroring the approximately $150 million already paid out in March.

The back-to-back payouts reflect a period of sustained financial growth for TKO, which has reported record revenues since the company’s formation. Executives have projected total 2026 revenues of between $5.675 billion and $5.775 billion.

Much of that growth has been driven by a series of major broadcast agreements. The UFC secured a landmark seven-year, $7.

TKO has also opened a new revenue stream through Zuffa Boxing, the boxing promotion operated by UFC CEO Dana White and WWE president Nick Khan.

Not every financial headline in the near term is positive, however. TKO is expected to absorb a significant loss from the UFC’s planned White House event on June 14, held on the south lawn of the White House and fully funded by the company. Costs are projected to exceed $60 million, with roughly $30 million expected to be recovered through sponsorships and endorsements — leaving a net loss of at least $30 million.

Despite that outlay, TKO executives including White and company president Mark Shapiro have argued the exposure generated by staging a major event at the White House will deliver long-term commercial benefits that outweigh the immediate financial hit.
