Watch WWE Raw, SmackDown And More
Whatcha gonna do when WWE-viewing-mania runs wild on you?! Knowing where and how to watch WWE programming can have as many twists and turns as an Attitude Era storyline at times. But read on, because we’ve laid out how to watch Raw, SmackDown and all other content from World Wrestling Entertainment no matter where you are in the world. Oh, it’s true.
WWE’s flagship show, Raw (set to be moving to Netflix in 2025), has been running on Monday nights since 1993 with SmackDown joining it at the peak of pro-wrestling’s popularity in 1999, across varying nights of the week, although it’s currently being enjoyed by the millions…and millions on Fridays. NXT debuted in its current form as a home for developmental talent in 2014 although a number of Superstars have moved from NXT to the main shows and visa versa.
Each of the three shows has a main title (World Heavyweight Championship, Undisputed WWE Championship and NXT Championship), a midcard title (Intercontinental Championship, United States Championship and North American Championship) and a women’s title (Women’s World Championship, WWE Women’s Championship and NXT Women’s Championship), with the Undisputed Tag Team Championship serving both Raw and SmackDown, and the Women’s Tag Team Tag Team Championship being defended across all three brands.
There’s also the Premium Live Events, which take place monthly and tend to lean more toward in-ring action (as opposed to the weekly show’s storyline focus) and huge spectacle, with Royal Rumble and Survivor Series being of note. WrestleMania takes place across two nights in March/April every year and is the jewel in the WWE crown, acting as a sort of ‘season ender’ (think of it as the wrestling promotion’s Super Bowl) and usually features celebrity involvement, musical performances and huge title changes.
There’s also the WWE Network, which is the company’s own streaming service. It’s available through Peacock in the US and as either a standalone service or streaming add-on globally, depending on your location. It features almost everything from WWE’s past, so you can enjoy the best there is, was and ever will be anytime you like.
Want some pro-wrestling? Come get some, as we explain how to watch WWE in the US and more.
How To Watch WWE in the US
Peacock is home to WWE Premium Live Events (such as WrestleMania and Royal Rumble) in the US as well as a whole host of legacy content from the history of the wrestling juggernaut via its WWE Network section. You'll also find Raw and SmackDown on the streamer 30 days after they've aired on linear TV.
A Peacock subscription costs $5.99/$11.99 a month depending on which tier you choose. Alternatively, get 12 months for the price of 10 by going for an annual plan.
Raw airs live on USA Network at 8pm ET every Monday while you can catch all the action from SmackDown at 8pm ET on FOX on Fridays. Both are available to stream via Hulu the following day too, although Raw is an abridged 90-minute version. NXT meanwhile airs at 8pm ET each Tuesday, also on USA, or you can wait for it to land on Peacock on Thursdays.
Cord cutters looking to watch WWE weekly programming live might want to check out FuboTV. Its entry-level Pro plan comes with a line-up of well over 100 channels at $74.99 a month. But, if you’re new to the service, you can test the waters before paying anything thanks to its 7-day FREE trial.
More reasonably priced, you could also opt for a Sling TV subscription, paying from $40 a month. The Sling Blue package hosts both NBC, Fox Sports, and USA Network, and you can currently save 50% on all Sling's packages for your first month.
How to watch WWE from anywhere
If you're on vacation or working overseas, you can still stream WWE programming just as you would at home.
While most services block access from IP addresses outside your home country, there's a handy piece of software called a VPN which can change your IP address to make it look like you're accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, US citizens vacationing in Canada can subscribe to a VPN, join a US based server and tune into WWE on Peacock from anywhere in the world, just like you would back home.
How to use a VPN to unblock streaming services:
1. Choose your ideal VPN and install – ExpressVPN is the total package when it comes to great streaming VPNs
2. Connect to a server – most good VPNs make it super simple to connect to a server in the US or whatever country you require
3. Stream away! – login to your streaming service and stream like you were in your home country
Watch WWE in the UK
In the UK, you've got a few options if you want to watch the Superstars of WWE do their thing.
Weekly shows are broadcast on TNT Sports, with both Raw and SmackDown airing live at 1am GMT Tuesdays and Saturdays respectively. You can also live stream the flagship shows via TNT Sport's hub on Discovery+, which is included in a TNT Sports subscription or available through the Discovery+ Premium Plan for £30.99 a month..
For NXT and all Premium Live Events (including WrestleMania and Royal Rumble) you'll need a subscription to the WWE Network, which also includes a massive back catalog of WWE programming and costs £9.99 per month.
Finally, TNT Sports Box Office offers pay-per-view options for some of the calendar's biggest PLEs (such as Money in the Bank and Survivor Series) for around £14.95 per event.
How To Watch WWE Live Stream in Canada
If you want to watch Raw and SmackDown on linear TV in Canada, you'll need to head to Sportsnet360 where episodes are simulcast live with the US.
Everything else, including NXT, all Premium Live Events (such as Royal Rumble and Money in the Bank) and catch-up streams of the two flagship shows, is available on the WWE Network via Sportsnet+.
It's $14.99 a month for just the WWE Network on Sportsnet+ subscription, but if you'd sooner get access to all the other live sport Sportsnet has to offer (including games from NHL, MLB and NBA) then you may want to opt for a Premium plan for $34.99 a month.
How to watch WWE in Australia
Things are a lot more straight forward Down Under with Raw, NXT and Smackdown all airing at 12pm AEDT on Fox8 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday respectively.
You can also live stream ALL Premium Live Events and weekly shows through streaming service Binge.
Binge pricing starts at just $10 a month for the Basic plan, or you can pay more to upgrade to 4K and go ad-free for on-demand content. And if you've never tried Binge before, you can take advantage of its 7-day FREE trial.

What's the latest from SmackDown?
SmackDown unfolded mere hours before Elimination Chamber, airing on a tape delay, but happening in real time 'in universe'. This was not a show of great consequence, with a few pre-PLE match ups seeing Tiffancy Stratton defeat Live Morgan, Drew McIntyre see off LA Knight and New Catch Republic beating the Judgement Day members they wouldn't be facing at Elimination Chamber.
Elsewhere, Bron Breakker made his dominating in-ring debut, while the Authors of Pain made short work of the Street Profits.
Away from the ring, Dakotai Kai was attacked offscreen, seemingly by Damage CTRL, promising she had Bayley's back as the Women's Title contender came to check on her. Could the whole thing be a ruse leading to a Kai turn? It's certainly possible.
This week's SmackDown promises to be more eventful as The Rock once again makes an appearance.
What's the latest from Raw?
With Drew McIntyre now confirmed as the man to be facing Seth Rollins at WrestleMania, the Scottish Warrior had things to say on Raw, begging Seth Rollins to drop his involvement with the Bloodline so as not to distract from their title match at the Showcase of the Immortals. Rollins responded that he has to put an end to the heel group, for the sake of the industry.
The other champion/challenger face off saw Becky Lynch confront Rhea Ripley, hyping their match at 'Mania before Nia Jax ran in to attack Lynch.
In ring, Sami Zayn finally got a win back over Shinsuke Nakamura, gaining some momentum on the Road to Wrestlemania, while the fued between The New Day and Imperium finally came to a close in a Street Fight. Elsewhere on the card, Raquel Rodriquez made short work of Chelsea Green, Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark defeated Indi Harwell and Candice LeRae and Nia Jax vs Liv Morgan ended in a DQ as Becky Lynch sought revenge for Jax' earlier attack.
The main event featured Cody Rhodes vs Grayson Waller, which Rhodes won, to no one surprise. After the match, Paul Heyman came out to beg Cody to drop his challenge to Reigns at WrestleMania. Cody refused, of course and defiantley let Heyman know he was ready to take on the entire Bloodline.
As the show went off the air, Rhodes laid out the 'NYPD' security that Heyman bought with him, standing tall in the ring.
What is the next WWE Premium Live Event?
With Elimination Chamber in the rearview mirror, the next WWE PLE will be the big one: WrestleMania XL. It'll take place over two nights from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia and air live on Saturday April 6 and Sunday April 7 with a start time of 7pm ET / 4pm PT / 12am UK (Sunday/Monday) / 11am AEDT (Sunday/Monday).
Can I watch WWE on Netflix?
Currently, WWE programming is not available to watch on Netflix. However, as of January 2025, the streaming service will be the exclusive home to WWE Monday Night Raw in the US, Canada, the UK and more as part of a ten year deal. Outside of the US, it will also be the home for ALL things WWE, including SmackDown, NXT, Premium Live Events and various other content from the wrestling company. You can find out more in our article on the move here.
It's worth noting that while USA Network might be losing Raw in the States, it will be the new home for SmackDown from October 2024.
