How To Watch WWE Online
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.
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
