Big news for WWE fans: As of January 2026, Netflix has become the official U.S. home for the WWE library, bringing decades of classic Premium Live Events (PLEs) like WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam directly to your screen. This expansion follows the end of WWE’s five-year deal with Peacock and builds on Netflix’s existing partnership, which already includes live Monday Night Raw.
Why the WWE Library Moved to Netflix in 2026
The shift happened seamlessly at the start of the year. WWE’s agreement with Peacock expired on December 31, 2025, and content began migrating to Netflix almost immediately—fans noticed classics appearing as early as January 1. On January 6, 2026, WWE and Netflix officially announced the multi-year expansion, making Netflix the go-to platform for WWE’s archival content in the U.S.
This move consolidates much of WWE’s history under one roof for American viewers, especially after Raw became a Netflix staple in 2025 (quickly ranking in the global Top 10). Past episodes of Raw are also part of the library.
Key cutoff: The library covers all PLEs prior to September 2025. Newer events (post-September 2025, like Wrestlepalooza) are exclusive to ESPN in the U.S.
