WWE has recently revealed that its flagship program WWE Raw will be available on Netflix as part of a new long-term partnership between the sports entertainment company and the streaming service. Starting in January 2025, viewers in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Latin America, and other countries will be able to stream Raw every Monday, with additional regions to follow.
In the United States, subscribers will also have access to WWE’s other weekly programs – NXT and SmackDown – as well as special events like WrestleMania. When the partnership launches next year, Netflix will also offer WWE documentaries and original series to international audiences. It’s rumored that Netflix will pay the WWE over $5 billion USD over the course of 10 years for this move into sports entertainment.
Mark Shapiro, President and COO of WWE parent company TKO, expressed, “This deal is transformative. It combines the unmissable WWE product with Netflix’s exceptional global reach and secures significant and predictable economics for many years. Our partnership fundamentally changes and strengthens the media landscape, significantly expands the reach of WWE, and brings weekly live appointment viewing to Netflix.”
