Saturday Night Main Event is available on Peacock, but only certain matches and episodes
Saturday Night Main Event airs live on NBC, and Peacock streams some episodes and matches from the show. However, Peacock does not carry every Saturday Night Main Event broadcast — what you can watch depends on whether the episode was produced for Peacock, whether it aired on NBC first, and your Peacock subscription tier.
If you have a Peacock account (free or Premium), you can search for "Saturday Night Main Event" in the app to see which episodes are currently available in your region. The show typically appears in the WWE section of Peacock's library. Availability changes as new episodes air and older ones rotate through the platform's catalog.
Saturday Night Main Event episodes that aired on NBC are more likely to be available on Peacock than special or international broadcasts. If you cannot find a specific episode you are looking for, it may not have been licensed to Peacock, or it may have been removed from the catalog.

- Peacock carries some Saturday Night Main Event episodes in its WWE section, but not every broadcast that airs on NBC.
- You can search for the show directly in the Peacock app to see which episodes are currently available to watch.
- Availability varies by region and changes over time as Peacock updates its wrestling content library.
- Live broadcasts of Saturday Night Main Event air on NBC; Peacock typically streams them after they have already aired on television.
- Both free and Premium Peacock accounts can watch available Saturday Night Main Event content, though Premium may have fewer ads.
How to find Saturday Night Main Event on Peacock
Open the Peacock app or website and use the search bar at the top. Type "Saturday Night Main Event" and the results will show you every episode currently available in your account. You can also browse the WWE section directly — tap or click "Sports" in the main menu, then look for WWE content.
When you find an episode, the show's page will tell you the air date, the matches included, and whether it is available to watch now. If an episode shows a lock icon or says "not available in your region," that episode is not currently licensed to Peacock in your location.
What subscription level do you need
Both Peacock Free and Peacock Premium can watch Saturday Night Main Event episodes that are available on the platform. The difference is that Premium subscribers see fewer ads during playback. Free accounts will see more commercial breaks, but the content itself is the same.
Some WWE premium events (like WrestleMania or Royal Rumble) require a Premium subscription or a separate pay-per-view purchase, but Saturday Night Main Event episodes that are in Peacock's library are generally accessible to both tiers.
When new episodes appear on Peacock
Saturday Night Main Event airs live on NBC on Saturday evenings. Peacock typically makes episodes available to stream within hours or a day after the NBC broadcast ends, though the exact timing can vary. You do not need to watch live — you can stream the episode on demand once it appears in the app.
New episodes are added to Peacock's library on a rolling basis. If you want to know when a specific upcoming episode will be available, check Peacock's WWE section or the show's official schedule on NBC's website.
If an episode you want is not available
If you search for a specific Saturday Night Main Event episode and it does not appear, it may have been removed from Peacock's catalog, or it may not have been licensed to the platform. Peacock rotates its wrestling content periodically, so older episodes sometimes disappear and reappear later.
You can also check whether the episode aired on NBC or on a different network or streaming service — Saturday Night Main Event occasionally airs on different channels depending on the broadcast schedule, and those episodes may not be on Peacock. Your local NBC affiliate's website or the official WWE website can tell you where a specific episode originally aired.
Streaming quality and playback on Peacock
Peacock streams Saturday Night Main Event in up to 4K resolution on supported devices, though the actual quality depends on your internet speed and the device you are using. Most phones and tablets stream in HD (1080p) or standard definition, while smart TVs and computers can often reach higher resolutions.
You can read episodes to watch offline if you have a Premium subscription — this is useful if your internet connection is unreliable or if you want to watch without using data. Open an episode, tap the read icon, and Peacock will save it to your device for up to 30 days.
