WWE is heading into 2026 with big changes in its streaming lineup and cord-cutters can still catch every Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and premium live event without breaking the bank. Thanks to major deals with ESPN, Netflix, and The CW, fans can now build a full WWE streaming setup for under USD 850 per year.
Here’s how the new WWE viewing landscape looks, plus some smart ways to save.
Starting in 2025, WWE’s premium live events (PLEs) will stream exclusively on ESPN Unlimited, priced at $29.99/month. SmackDown will continue airing on USA Network, which you can access via Sling TV’s Orange & Blue package for $60.99/month. This bundle includes both USA and ESPN channels, giving you the most affordable path to WWE PLEs and SmackDown.
Best Value:
WWE Raw is now a Netflix exclusive, streaming live every Monday at 8 PM ET. You’ll need the Standard with Ads plan at just USD 7.99/month, totaling USD 95.88/year. Netflix also offers bonus perks through mobile providers like T-Mobile and Verizon, which may help you stream Raw at no extra cost.
NXT is available 100% free on The CW every Tuesday night. All you need is an HD antenna to tune in locally. Pair it with a Tablo or Plex DVR for recording episodes — no subscription needed.
