World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has announced an agreement with ESPN to stream its premium live events, including WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble, starting in 2026. The deal will see WWE produce the events exclusively for ESPN platforms in the US, marking a significant expansion of ESPN’s content portfolio.
ESPN Chairman Jimmy Pitaro expressed excitement over the partnership, stating that it would “super-serve” WWE’s devoted fan base on its new platform. The service will also feature WWE’s pre- and post-event shows, providing users with a comprehensive experience.
The streaming service is set to launch on August 21 at $29.99 per month and will include access to all seven ESPN domestic linear networks, as well as other streaming options. This marks a significant shift for WWE, which previously streamed its events on Peacock in 2025. The partnership with ESPN represents a major milestone in both companies’ direct-to-consumer journeys.
