Item 8. Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

TKO Group Holdings, Inc.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TKO Group Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’/members’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 25, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

We did not audit the combined financial statements of the Olympus Business of Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc., which statements reflect total assets constituting 16 percent as of December 31, 2024, and total revenues constituting 43 percent for the year then ended, of the related consolidated totals. Those statements were audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the Olympus Business of Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc., is based solely on the report of Deloitte & Touche LLP.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed the acquisition of the Olympus Business of Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc., which comprise the IMG businesses, On Location and Professional Bull Riders (collectively, the Acquired Businesses) as of February 28, 2025. As a result of this common control transaction, the net assets of the Acquired Businesses were combined with those of the Company at their historical carrying amounts and the financial statements have been retrospectively recast on a combined basis for all historical periods prior to February 28, 2025, because they were under common control for the period presented.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits and the report of Deloitte & Touche LLP provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Revenue recognition - contracts with multiple performance obligations

As discussed in Notes 2 and 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers. For customer contracts with more than one distinct performance obligation, the total contract consideration is allocated based on management’s estimate of each distinct performance obligation’s relative stand-alone selling price (“SSP”). The Company’s primary sources of revenue include media rights, production and content, live events and hospitality, partnerships and marketing, and consumer products licensing and other. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded revenue of $4,735.2 million.

We identified the assessment of revenue recognition for certain contracts with multiple performance obligations as a critical audit matter. Specifically, for certain multi-year fixed fee contracts, complex auditor judgement was required in assessing the Company’s identification of distinct performance obligations and evaluating the method and significant assumptions used to estimate the SSP for those identified distinct performance obligations.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s revenue processes, including controls related to the identification of distinct performance obligations and the method and significant assumptions used to determine the estimated SSP for those identified distinct performance obligations. For a selection of new and amended multi-year fixed fee contracts, we obtained and evaluated the Company’s revenue recognition accounting analysis by (1) inspecting the contracts to gain an understanding of contractual terms and conditions, evaluating the rights and obligations of the Company, and comparing them to other similar customer contracts to identify distinct performance obligation, (2) interviewing the Company’s business development personnel to gain an understanding of the nature and estimated value of commitments made to customers, (3) evaluating the method and significant assumptions used to estimate SSP by comparing the SSP to current pricing patterns in similar customer contracts, and (4) testing that the estimated SSPs were accurately applied in allocating the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying combined statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders' equity/net parent investment, and cash flows, for the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements") of TKO Group Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of the Company's operations and its cash flows for the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company acquired the Professional Bull Riders, On Location, certain contracts associated with Wimbledon, Soccer and Stadia, SailGP, and Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, Mailman, and various events businesses, including Golf Events, Formula Drift, and International Figure Skating (collectively, the “Businesses”), in a common control acquisition on February 28, 2025. As a result, the net assets of the Businesses were combined with those of the Company at their historical carrying amounts and the companies were presented on a combined basis for historical periods because they were under common control for all periods presented.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
