How to Watch Wrestling: Where to Stream Every Show
A complete guide to streaming platforms, TV channels, premium live events, and free options for every major wrestling promotion.
WWE
WWE is the largest wrestling promotion in the world and the easiest to access. Its shows are now split across several partners: Netflix took over Raw in January 2025, and in 2026 the US home of WWE's premium live events moved from Peacock to ESPN.
Weekly Shows
- Monday Night Raw — Netflix (live, Mondays 8 PM ET). Outside the US, Netflix also carries SmackDown and NXT in most countries.
- Friday Night SmackDown — USA Network (live, Fridays 8 PM ET)
- NXT — The CW (live, Tuesdays 8 PM ET). WWE's developmental brand featuring the next generation of stars. NXT's own premium live events also air on The CW.
- Saturday Night's Main Event — the occasional network-style specials stream on Peacock.
Premium Live Events (PPVs)
As of late 2026, every WWE premium live event in the US — WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, Survivor Series and the rest — streams in the ESPN app and requires the ESPN Unlimited plan (the cheaper ESPN Select tier does not include them). Outside the US, the same events stream on Netflix in most countries. WWE runs roughly one premium live event a month, and replays are available on demand shortly after each show ends.
On-Demand Library
WWE's back catalogue is split by region. Internationally, Netflix carries the weekly shows and a large archive of past events. In the US, recent premium live events are available as replays on ESPN, while older WWE Network content has moved between services as deals changed — search the title on your streaming apps before paying for anything new. WWE's YouTube channel also posts full classic matches for free.
AEW (All Elite Wrestling)
AEW launched in 2019 and quickly became WWE's primary competitor, offering a more wrestling-focused product with creative freedom for its performers.
Weekly Shows
- AEW Dynamite — TBS, simulcast on HBO Max (live, Wednesdays 8 PM ET). The flagship show.
- AEW Collision — TNT, simulcast on HBO Max (Saturdays; the start time moves around sports coverage). The secondary show with its own storylines.
Every US HBO Max subscription includes the live Dynamite and Collision streams, so cord-cutters don't need a cable package for AEW's weekly TV.
PPV Events
AEW still sells its big shows — Revolution, Dynasty, Double or Nothing, All In, All Out, WrestleDream, Full Gear and Worlds End — as pay-per-views. In the US they can be bought inside HBO Max (since September 2025) as well as through traditional PPV providers; outside the US, Triller TV is the usual home. Unlike WWE, AEW pay-per-views are not included in any subscription.
TNA Wrestling
TNA (formerly Impact Wrestling) has a loyal following and has experienced a resurgence with its partnership with WWE's NXT brand, allowing talent to appear across both promotions.
- TNA iMPACT! — AMC, also streaming on AMC+ (Thursdays, two hours from 9 PM ET). TNA moved to AMC in January 2026.
- TNA+ — TNA's own streaming service for PPVs and on-demand content, and the main way to watch outside North America
- TNA PPVs include Slammiversary, Bound for Glory, Hard to Kill, and more
NJPW (New Japan Pro-Wrestling)
NJPW is widely considered to have the best in-ring product in the world. Based in Japan, it features a strong style that emphasizes realistic strikes and submissions alongside high-flying athleticism.
- NJPW World — NJPW's streaming service (about $10/month for new subscribers outside Japan). Streams the major events live, with English commentary on the big shows, plus a deep archive. Apps run on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV and Android TV.
- NJPW Strong — Their US-based show, also on NJPW World
- Major events: Wrestle Kingdom (January), G1 Climax (summer tournament), Dominion
UFC / MMA
While not professional wrestling, UFC is covered on SuplexDigest because of the massive crossover between combat sports fans. Many pro wrestlers have MMA backgrounds, and several UFC fighters have crossed over to wrestling.
- Paramount+ — Since 2026, the exclusive US home of UFC: every numbered event and Fight Night streams there, included in the subscription.
- No more pay-per-view — The old ESPN+ PPV model ended with the Paramount deal. Some numbered events are also simulcast on CBS.
Independent & International Wrestling
The indie scene is thriving, and many of today's biggest stars came from independent promotions. Here's how to watch:
IWTV (Independent Wrestling TV)
The biggest indie streaming platform. Features GCW, Beyond Wrestling, ICW, and dozens more. ~$10/month.

YouTube & Social Media
Many indie promotions upload full matches to YouTube. GCW, RevPro, Progress, and others have active YouTube channels with free content.
