WWE moved off Peacock to a new streaming home in 2024
Peacock no longer carries new WWE programming as of September 2024. WWE's parent company, TKO Group, moved the wrestling promotion to a dedicated streaming service called WWE Premium Live Events (later rebranded as part of a broader WWE streaming strategy). If you had been watching WWE on Peacock, you will need to shift to the new platform to keep up with live events, pay-per-views, and original series.
The move happened because TKO wanted to consolidate all wrestling content—WWE, AEW, and other promotions—under one roof rather than splitting it across multiple services. This gave them more control over pricing, scheduling, and what content appears where.
Key Takeaways
- WWE content left Peacock in September 2024 and moved to WWE's own streaming platform.
- Peacock still carries older WWE programming and archives, but not current events or new releases.
- The new WWE streaming service includes live pay-per-views, original shows, and on-demand wrestling content.
- If you subscribed to Peacock for WWE, you will need a separate subscription to the WWE streaming service to watch new programming.
What WWE content is still on Peacock
Peacock retained the WWE library—years of past matches, documentaries, and archived programming. You can still watch older episodes of Raw, SmackDown, and NXT, along with classic pay-per-view events. This archive does not update with new content, so it functions as a historical collection rather than a live service.
The exact titles and episodes available vary, as licensing agreements sometimes remove or add content. If you are looking for a specific show or era, searching Peacock directly will tell you whether it is there.
Where WWE programming moved
WWE now operates its own streaming platform that carries live pay-per-view events, weekly shows like Raw and SmackDown, NXT, and original series. The service is available through WWE's official website and through major streaming platforms including Amazon Prime Video Channels, Apple TV Channels, and The Roku Channel, depending on your location.
You can also subscribe directly through WWE's website. Pricing and exact availability vary by region and by which platform you choose to watch through, so checking WWE's official site for your area will give you the current options and costs.
How the move affects Peacock subscribers
If you subscribed to Peacock partly for WWE, your Peacock subscription still works—you just will not see new WWE events there. You retain access to the archived content. However, to watch current WWE programming, you will need to purchase a separate subscription to the WWE streaming service or access it through one of the partner platforms listed above.
Peacock did not automatically transfer WWE subscribers to the new service, so the move required action on your part if you wanted to keep watching live events and new releases. Many viewers found they were paying for two services where they previously paid for one.
Why TKO made this change
TKO Group, which owns both WWE and AEW (All Elite Wrestling), decided to consolidate wrestling under one streaming umbrella rather than licensing content to Peacock and other services. This approach gives TKO direct control over pricing, release schedules, and which events go where. It also allows them to bundle wrestling content and potentially offer package deals that include both WWE and AEW.
From a business standpoint, owning the streaming platform directly means TKO keeps subscriber revenue instead of sharing it with Peacock or other middlemen. The downside for viewers is that wrestling fans now need a separate subscription instead of getting it bundled with Peacock's broader entertainment catalog.
Comparing your viewing options now
| Platform | What You Get | How to Subscribe |
|---|---|---|
| WWE.com (direct) | Live events, Raw, SmackDown, NXT, originals | Subscribe directly on WWE's website |
| Amazon Prime Video Channels | Same as WWE.com, bundled with Prime | Add WWE channel to existing Prime membership |
| Apple TV Channels | Same as WWE.com, bundled with Apple TV+ | Add WWE channel to Apple TV app |
| Roku Channel | Same as WWE.com, bundled with Roku | Add WWE channel in Roku app or on device |
| Peacock | Archived WWE only (no new events) | Already included if you subscribe |
The channel-based options (Prime Video, Apple TV, Roku) let you add WWE without committing to a full separate subscription service, which can be cheaper if you already use those platforms. Direct subscription through WWE.com gives you the same content but requires a standalone payment.
If you watch wrestling occasionally rather than every week, adding WWE as a channel to a service you already use may cost less than a dedicated subscription. Compare the monthly costs on each platform for your region before deciding.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still watch old WWE shows on Peacock?
Yes. Peacock kept its archive of past WWE programming, so you can watch older episodes of Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and classic pay-per-views. You will not see new events or current-week programming, only the historical library.
Do I have to pay extra if I already have Peacock?
Yes. Peacock no longer includes new WWE content, so watching current events requires a separate subscription to the WWE streaming service or one of its partner platforms. Your Peacock subscription does not cover the new WWE service.
What happens to my Peacock subscription now that WWE left?
Your Peacock subscription remains active and includes everything else Peacock offers—movies, shows, sports, news. You just lose access to new WWE programming. The archived WWE library stays on Peacock for as long as licensing allows.
Is the WWE streaming service the same price everywhere?
Pricing varies by region and by which platform you subscribe through. Direct subscription through WWE.com, Amazon Prime Channels, Apple TV Channels, and Roku Channel may have different costs. Check WWE's official website or the specific platform for your location to see current pricing.
Can I watch WWE on cable or traditional TV anymore?
Yes. WWE's weekly shows (Raw and SmackDown) still air on cable television through USA Network and other broadcasters, depending on your region. Pay-per-view events are available through traditional PPV as well as the streaming service, though streaming is now the primary distribution method.
