Here’s the latest on Netflix and WrestleMania:
-
Netflix expanded its WWE library deal in early January 2026, making Netflix the U.S. home for WWE’s library of Premium Live Events (pre-September 2025), which includes WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble, along with WWE documentaries and original programming. This is a multi-year extension and follows Netflix’s broader rollout of WWE content in the U.S. [Source: The Hollywood Reporter; Variety; WWE corporate site][1][2][5]
-
The arrangement does not remove WWE content from other platforms entirely; Peacock still retains rights to certain WWE programming and live event components in the U.S., with some events and specials continuing under NBC/Peacock rights. The Netflix deal focuses on the WWE library and pre-2025 Premium Live Events, while live-event exclusivity and some current-season content may differ by title and region.[2][5]
-
As WrestleMania-related content moves to Netflix in the U.S., fans can expect access to past WrestleMania events and related WWE programming on Netflix, with ongoing streams of newer WWE content possibly airing on Netflix in international markets or under separate agreements. Netflix’s role as home for the library positions WrestleMania status as part of a broad catalog rather than live, event-by-event simulcasts on Netflix in real time.[1][2]
Illustration of what to expect:
- What’s on Netflix now: WrestleMania archives and other Premium Live Events prior to Sept 2025, plus WWE documentaries and original series. This marks a shift in where U.S. fans can access classic WrestleMania content.[5]
- What remains elsewhere: Some WWE content continues to air on Peacock/US TV rights for live events and current programming, depending on the specific deal terms and timing.[2]
