The Ultimate Fighter Nations: Canada vs. Australia is an installment of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)-produced reality television series The Ultimate Fighter. It is the fifth series produced outside the United States and the first filmed in Canada.

The show debuted on January 15, 2014.[3] This season is the second to air on FX Australia. It also aired in the United States on Fox Sports 1.[3]
