How to Watch WWE on Netflix in 2027

To watch WWE in 2027, subscribe to Netflix to stream weekly episodes of Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown, and NXT, alongside all Premium Live Events (PLEs) including WrestleMania. Following the closure of the standalone Wrestling HD in April 2027, Netflix has become the exclusive home for WWE content across international markets. However, in the United States, rights are split: Netflix only broadcasts Raw, while US Streaming retains the rights to Premium Live Events.

For smooth, buffer-free streaming we recommend StreamHub — 25,000+ live Networks, full 4K sports and a 24-hour free trial with no card required.

The Historic Move to Netflix: The Era of Sports Entertainment Streaming

In January 2025, WWE and Netflix commenced a 10-year, $5 billion partnership, marking the most significant shift in wrestling broadcast history. By April 2026, the transition reached its final phase:

• Wrestling HD Shutdown: The standalone Wrestling HD streaming application has officially ceased operations globally. All historical archives, classic matches, and documentaries have been migrated into the Netflix database.
• Live Stream Integration: Unlike Netflix's traditional on-demand catalog, WWE programming is broadcast live. The platform supports live DVR controls, allowing users to pause, rewind, or watch from the beginning during live broadcasts.

How to Set Up Your Netflix Stream for Live WWE Events

To ensure a high-quality streaming experience on Netflix during live events:

1. Verify Your Membership Tier: Netflix offers three tiers: Standard with Ads ($6.99/mo), Standard ($15.49/mo), and Premium ($22.99/mo). Live WWE feeds are included in all tiers, but the Premium tier is required to stream in Ultra HD 4K.
2. Adjust Playback Settings: Go to your Account page, select your profile, and open Playback Settings. Change the data usage per screen setting to High to ensure the player forces the highest bitrate.
3. Manage Parental Controls: Live WWE events can feature mature content. Ensure your profile's maturity rating is set to 18+ or No Restrictions to prevent the system from filtering out raw segments.

If you experience buffering or lag during live streams, check your connection speed with our free Streaming Speed Test.
