Crown Jewel is not on Peacock in 2025

Crown Jewel, WWE's annual wrestling event held in Saudi Arabia, does not stream on Peacock. The event airs on traditional pay-per-view through cable and satellite providers, and through WWE's own streaming service for international audiences in certain regions. If you have a Peacock subscription, you will not find Crown Jewel listed there, even though Peacock carries most other WWE programming.

WWE has kept Crown Jewel separate from its standard streaming lineup since the event began in 2018. This is partly because of the event's location and partly because of existing broadcast agreements that predate Peacock's current structure. The result is that Crown Jewel requires a separate purchase or a different streaming method than your regular WWE content.

Key Takeaways

  • Crown Jewel does not appear on Peacock and requires a separate pay-per-view purchase through cable, satellite, or PPV streaming services.
  • The event typically costs between $60 and $80 for standard definition and high definition through traditional PPV providers.
  • WWE Network and Peacock carry most WWE events throughout the year, but Crown Jewel is an exception due to its Saudi Arabia location and existing broadcast deals.
  • International viewers in some regions may find Crown Jewel on WWE's streaming service, but availability varies by country.

How to watch Crown Jewel if you don't have Peacock

The most common way to watch Crown Jewel is through traditional pay-per-view. If you have cable or satellite TV, you can order the event through your provider's PPV menu on the day of the broadcast. The cost is typically $60 for standard definition or $80 for high definition, though some providers may charge slightly different amounts.

You can also purchase Crown Jewel through streaming PPV services that are not Peacock. These include platforms that specialize in live sports events and allow you to buy individual events without a subscription. Check your cable provider's website or call their customer service line to see what options they offer for Crown Jewel specifically.

Some international viewers can watch through WWE's streaming service in their region, though this varies by country. If you are outside the United States, check WWE's official website to see whether Crown Jewel is included in your local streaming options.

Why Crown Jewel stays off Peacock

Crown Jewel is held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of a long-term partnership between WWE and Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority. This location creates different broadcast and streaming rights than WWE's events held in North America. The rights to broadcast Crown Jewel in different regions are managed separately from Peacock's standard WWE package.

WWE signed its current agreement with Saudi Arabia before Peacock became the primary home for WWE content in the United States. Those older agreements included specific terms about how and where Crown Jewel could be shown. Rather than renegotiate those terms, WWE has kept Crown Jewel on the traditional pay-per-view model, which is simpler and requires fewer changes to existing contracts.

Other WWE events you can watch on Peacock

Peacock carries WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, Survivor Series, and all other major WWE pay-per-view events throughout the year. It also includes all episodes of Raw, SmackDown, and NXT, plus archived content going back years. If you subscribe to Peacock, you have access to nearly all WWE programming except Crown Jewel.

The Peacock subscription that includes WWE content is part of Peacock Premium, which costs $5.99 per month with ads or $11.99 per month without ads. This is significantly cheaper than buying individual pay-per-view events, so if you watch more than one or two WWE events per year, a Peacock subscription usually saves money.

When Crown Jewel typically happens

Crown Jewel takes place once per year, usually in November or December. The exact date changes from year to year depending on WWE's schedule and Saudi Arabia's preferences. WWE typically announces the Crown Jewel date several months in advance, so you can plan ahead if you want to watch.

Because the event is held in Saudi Arabia, it airs at an unusual time for North American viewers. The event typically starts in the afternoon or evening Saudi time, which means it broadcasts early morning or late night in the United States. Check WWE's official website or your cable provider's PPV guide for the exact start time in your time zone.
