Premium Live Events will move to ESPN’s direct-to-consumer service earlier than originally announced with the upcoming Wrestlepalooza event.
Premium Live Events Moving
WWE and ESPN recently confirmed a major deal that would move Premium Live Entertainment (PLE) to ESPN’s direct-to-consumer service beginning in March 2026, when WWE’s deal with Peacock is set to end.
However, now that deal will be fulfilled when the Clash in Paris event takes place on August 31. ESPN’s service will stream all of the PLEs, in their entirety, which will be available to subscribers with the unlimited plan. Select shows will also air on other ESPN linear platforms.
Wrestlepalooza
Wrestlepalooza will be the first WWE PLE to debut on ESPN platforms. It is set for September 20 in Indianapolis. Watch it at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. on the new ESPN streaming service.
With this, ESPN will become the exclusive U.S. home to all of WWE’s PLEs. Other upcoming PLEs include Crown Jewel on October 11 and Survivor Series on November 29.
Wrestlepalooza will feature John Cena, “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes, World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre in major matches.
“On September 20, WWE and ESPN are coming together for a can’t-miss event to kick off our new partnership,” said WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque on Wrestling Inc. “The biggest Superstars in WWE. The biggest brand in sports media. Are you ready?”
Tickets for Wrestlepalooza are on sale now via Ticketmaster. In addition, Priority Pass packages are also available. These include Superstar appearances, exclusive photo opportunities, and more. Packages start at $700 per person.
