WWE is on Peacock's Premium tier, not the free plan

Peacock Premium is the plan that carries WWE content. The free Peacock plan does not include WWE programming. You need a paid subscription to watch WWE events, matches, and related shows.

Peacock Premium costs $5.99 per month with ads, or $11.99 per month without ads. Both paid tiers include the same WWE library — the difference is whether commercials play during your viewing. The ad-free version is sometimes called Peacock Premium Plus, though Peacock uses both names interchangeably.

WWE content on Peacock includes live pay-per-view events like WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble, plus weekly shows such as Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown. The library also holds older matches, documentaries, and behind-the-scenes programming going back several years.

Key Takeaways

  • Peacock Premium at $5.99 or $11.99 per month is required to watch WWE; the free tier does not include it.
  • Both paid tiers offer the same WWE content — the only difference is whether ads appear during playback.
  • WWE pay-per-view events stream live on Peacock Premium without requiring a separate purchase.
  • You can stream WWE on phones, tablets, computers, and supported smart TVs through the Peacock app or website.

What WWE content is actually on Peacock

Peacock holds the full WWE library that NBC acquired when it took over streaming rights. This includes all current weekly programming — Raw airs Monday nights and SmackDown airs Friday nights, both live and on-demand. NXT, WWE's developmental brand, also streams on Peacock.

Major pay-per-view events are included with your Premium subscription at no extra cost. WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Money in the Bank all stream live on the dates they air. This is a significant difference from the past, when these events required separate purchases.

Beyond current programming, Peacock carries archived matches and full events from WWE's history, plus original documentaries and interview series made specifically for the platform. The exact depth of the archive changes, but you can typically find content from the past several years and selected classic events.

How to watch WWE on Peacock Premium

read the Peacock app on your device or visit peacock.com in a web browser. Sign in with your Peacock account email and password. Once logged in, search for "WWE" or navigate to the Sports section, where WWE programming appears as a category.

Live events show up in the schedule a few days before they air. You can set reminders so Peacock notifies you when a show is about to start. On-demand episodes of Raw and SmackDown are usually available within hours of the live broadcast ending.

Peacock works on iPhones, iPads, Android phones, computers, Roku devices, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Google TV, and most Samsung smart TVs. You can watch on one screen at a time with the $5.99 plan, or up to four screens simultaneously with the $11.99 ad-free plan.

Peacock Premium pricing and what else comes with it

The $5.99 monthly plan includes WWE, NBC shows, movies, and sports like Premier League soccer and select NFL games, but ads play during content. The $11.99 plan removes ads from most programming and allows four simultaneous streams instead of one.

Both plans renew automatically each month unless you cancel. Peacock occasionally offers discounts for annual prepayment — paying for a full year upfront can reduce the monthly cost, though the exact discount changes throughout the year.

If you have a cable or streaming TV subscription that includes NBC (such as YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, or Xfinity), you may already have Peacock Premium included at no extra charge. Check your TV provider's app or website to see if Peacock Premium is bundled with your existing service.

Comparing Peacock's free plan to Premium for sports

Peacock's free tier includes some NBC sports content, but not WWE. Free users can watch select Premier League soccer matches, some Olympics coverage during the Games, and occasional other sports events. WWE is exclusively on the paid tiers.

The free plan also carries NBC shows, movies, and news, but with more frequent ads than Premium. You are limited to one stream at a time, and the selection of on-demand content is smaller than what Premium offers.

If WWE is your main reason for subscribing, Premium is the only option. The free plan is useful if you want to sample Peacock's other content before committing to a paid subscription, but it will not give you access to any WWE programming.

When WWE events air on Peacock

Monday Night Raw streams live at 8 p.m. Eastern time every Monday, with replays available on-demand afterward. Friday Night SmackDown airs live at 8 p.m. Eastern on Fridays. NXT typically airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. Eastern, though the schedule occasionally shifts.

Major pay-per-view events air on their scheduled dates and times, which WWE announces weeks in advance. WrestleMania usually takes place in early April, Royal Rumble in late January, SummerSlam in August, and Survivor Series in November. You can find the full event calendar on WWE.com or in the Peacock app's sports section.

All live broadcasts are available to rewatch on-demand when ready after they end. You do not need to watch at the scheduled time — you can start any WWE show or event whenever you want, as long as your Premium subscription is active.
