WWE has announced an expansion to its ongoing partnership with Netflix, focusing on international markets. Specifically, Netflix will begin broadcasting WWE Premium Live Events (PLEs)—such as WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Royal Rumble, and others—live in Germany (and Austria) starting April 1, 2026. These events will include German-language commentary and be available on-demand afterward.
This builds on the major 10-year deal struck in 2024 (reportedly worth around $5 billion), which made Netflix the exclusive home for Monday Night Raw in the US, Canada, UK, Latin America, and many other territories beginning January 2025. Internationally, Netflix has also carried most WWE programming, including weekly shows like SmackDown and NXT, plus PLEs in various regions outside the US (where Peacock/NBCUniversal handled some rights until early 2026).
Recent expansions include:
- In January 2026, Netflix became the official US home for WWE’s historical library (pre-September 2025 PLEs, documentaries, and originals) after the Peacock deal expired.
- The partnership has been successful so far, with Raw frequently appearing in Netflix’s global Top 10 charts and strong viewership numbers reported in its first year.
This latest move for Germany adds localized access and commentary, further strengthening WWE’s global streaming presence on Netflix. Similar expansions (e.g., to Japan or other markets) have been mentioned in reports, but the confirmed announcement centers on Germany/Austria.
For fans in Delhi/India (or other regions), check your local Netflix availability—WWE content rollout varies by country, but international PLEs and weekly shows have been broadly available on Netflix outside select holdout markets. If you’re in a supported territory, expect these events to stream live without needing traditional broadcast deals.
