To watch UFC Freedom 250 on DirecTV, the setup is a bit unique compared to traditional Pay-Per-View events.

For this historic card on Sunday, June 14, 2026, the broadcast rights belong exclusively to Paramount+, meaning it will not be available through the usual DirecTV PPV channels or standard ESPN packages.

📺 How to Watch Using Your DirecTV Equipment

Because the event is streaming live on Paramount+, the best way to watch it directly through your TV setup depends on the type of receiver you have.

1. If You Have a DirecTV Gemini Device

If you are using the newer Gemini box connected via Internet, accessing the event is seamless:

• Use your Gemini voice remote and simply say "Paramount Plus."
• Alternatively, press the Home button, navigate to the Apps tab, and select Paramount+.
• Open the app, log into your account, and you can stream the prelims and main card directly from your TV.

2. If You Have a Genie or Older Box

Older DirecTV hardware does not support the native streaming app interface. For this setup, you will need to bypass the receiver:

• Cast the fight from the Paramount+ app on your phone or tablet to your Smart TV.
• Use an external streaming device like a Roku, Amazon Fire Stick, Apple TV, or Google Chromecast plugged into a separate HDMI port on your TV.
