WWE Partners Leaving Peacock: Everything You Need to Know

WWE fans, big news! The premium live events (PLEs) are saying goodbye to Peacock and moving to a new streaming platform. Previously available on Peacock after the closure of WWE Network, these events are shifting to ESPN’s streaming service in the US.

So, what does this mean for viewers? All WWE PLEs, like WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam, will now exclusively stream on ESPN. The switch was announced by ESPN on August 6, with plans for the move to take effect in 2026 for the next five years. ESPN Chairman, Jimmy Pitaro, expressed excitement about serving WWE’s passionate fan base on their new platform.

Mark your calendars because ESPN’s streaming service is set to launch on August 21, 2025. However, there’s a catch—the monthly subscription fee is set at $29.99, much higher than Peacock’s $10.99 per month. While this might be a costlier option for fans, it ensures access to all the WWE content they love.

For those concerned about the fate of WWE archives, there are rumors that a partnership with Google could lead to these archives becoming available on YouTube. But for now, the shift from Peacock to ESPN will mainly impact US-based fans. Fans worldwide can still catch these events on Netflix.

Exciting times ahead for WWE fans with the move to ESPN’s streaming service. Stay tuned for more updates on this streaming transition!
