In a historic shift for sports entertainment, WWE has announced that WrestleMania 41 will stream live on Netflix for UK viewers, marking the first time a major WWE event will air on the popular streaming platform. This monumental change in distribution signals WWE’s growing push toward broader global accessibility and streaming innovation.
For the first time ever, fans in the United Kingdom will be able to experience the full spectacle of WrestleMania on Netflix, bypassing traditional pay-per-view models or WWE Network subscriptions. This move is part of WWE’s ongoing effort to modernize its global media strategy and tap into new digital audiences.
While UK viewers enjoy the Netflix rollout, fans in the United States will continue to stream the event on Peacock, thanks to WWE’s ongoing exclusive content agreement with NBCUniversal. That deal, which includes premium live events and the WWE library, remains in place for the foreseeable future.
Despite the split-streaming approach, WWE assures fans that all regions will get the same top-tier production, commentary, and access to the action-packed weekend.
Set to unfold over two nights — April 19 and 20 — WrestleMania 41 will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, promising record-breaking attendance and some of the year’s most anticipated matches.
While the official match card remains under wraps, early buzz suggests blockbuster appearances and high-stakes title bouts featuring superstars like Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, Bianca Belair, and Logan Paul. The event is expected to draw millions of viewers worldwide and dominate social media throughout the weekend.
This Netflix partnership may be a sign of things to come for WWE’s international media strategy. As traditional cable subscriptions continue to decline, wrestling’s most iconic brand is clearly eyeing a future deeply embedded in the digital streaming space.
