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..

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.

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.

What's the latest from SmackDown?
The Rock continued his return tour on Friday, with the Bloodline finally going face to face with Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins.
Before that though, Logan Paul and KSI cam out to reveal that Prime energy will be the center-of-the-ring sponsor for all PLEs going forward before their celebration was cut short thanks to an RKO out of nowhere to KSI courtesy of Randy Orton.
Orton stayed in the ring as he was joined by Kevin Owens to face Austin Theory and Grayson Waller. A double team pop-up RKO combo won Owens and Orton the match, before Logan Paul returned with brass knuckles, trying, and failing, to attack The Viper.
Backstage, Bayley spoke to Kayla Braxton about the Damage CTRL betrayal, furthering her babyface turn as she spoke of regretting her past actions and doing it only for attention. Later, her former stablemates bragged about besting Bayley and Dakota Kai promised to meet her in the ring next week.
In more in ring action, Bobby Lashley defeated Karrion Cross after Authors of Pain interfered in the match,Tiffany Stratton beat Michin and Dragon Lee saw off Angel Garza.
The final portion of the show saw the big showdown as The Rock and Roman Reigns came face to face with Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins. All four men were fantastic on the mic, trading barbs and not only reiterating the stakes of their WrestleMania matches, but upping them - if Cody loses to Roman on Night 2, he will never get another title shot in WWE. The segment ended with The rock getting personal about Rhodes family, with a slap from The American Nightmare landing square across the face of The People's Champion as SmackDown went off the air.
What's the latest from Raw?
Raw opened with Seth Rollins involved in another face to face, this time with his WrestleMania XL challenger Drew McIntyre. The two traded words, with Rollins trying to bait Drew in to getting physical, and Drew once again telling Rollins that his Bloodline obsession was threatening their match. It's the usual stuff, but these two always deliver.
Becky Lynch and Liv Morgn settled their differences in the ring, with Lynch picking up the victory. Later however, Nia Jax reinserted herself into the story by attack Lynch backstage as her and Morgan shook hands following their bout.
Other matches included The Kabuki Warriors retaining their Women's Tag Titles against Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark and Damien Priest defeating R-Truth, which was apparently revenge for Truth and The Miz being the ones to pitch the newly announced six team Tag Title ladder match at WrestleMania. As the rest of The Judgement Day beat down R-Truth, Tomasso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano made the save. Don't be surprised to see DIY and Awesome Truth as two of the teams inserted in to the ladder match.
Elsewhere, Jey Uso called out Jimmy Uso for a match on The grandest Stage of Them All, but as of now, the challenge goes unanswered.
The main event was a Gauntlet Match for a shot at Gunther's Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania. Richochet and JD McDonagh started the match, with Ricochet picking up the win before Bronson Reed entered and made short work of the high flyer. Sami Zayn was next and while he pinned Reed, an attack from the big man after the match softened Zayn up for Shinsuka Nakamura who contolled much of the match before Sami managed to hit a Helluva Kick, pinning Nakamura. Last out was Chad Gable and the two fought a short but gripping match that saw Gable apply the ankle lock numerous times until Zayn managed to reverse it in to a roll up for the win.
Zayn has finally earned his spot at WrestleMania XL, but whether he is the man to finally dethrone The Ring General remains to be seen.
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.
