Wrestling on TV and Streaming This Week

Looking for what wrestling is on tonight? Below is the full weekly lineup for WWE, AEW and AAA in the US: which night each show airs, the start time in ET, the channel or app that carries it, and whether it costs anything.

No two of these promotions share a home. Each one's weekly shows sit on different networks and different apps, so a fan who follows two or three of them ends up juggling several services.

This page shows which of those you actually need for the shows you care about.

Last checked: October 2026. The weekly slots rarely move. Prices and special events are the parts to re-check before you pay.

The week at a glance

What to pay for, by who you watch

Just Raw. Netflix. The ad-supported plan streams the same live show as the others.

WWE every week. Netflix for Monday, an antenna or the CW app for Tuesday, and USA Network for Friday. USA is the hard one: it needs cable or a live TV service. The WWE page covers the options.

WWE including the big events. Add the ESPN app on its unlimited plan, which is where WWE's Premium Live Events stream in the US. It is the largest single cost in wrestling at the moment.

Only AEW. HBO Max. It carries Dynamite and Collision live, so a cable channel is optional. The AEW page has the details.

Lucha libre. YouTube. AAA's weekly show is there with English commentary. The AAA page explains how to find it.

Everything. Netflix, a live TV service with USA, TBS, TNT and The CW, ESPN unlimited and HBO Max. Roughly $105 to $140 a month, before any AEW pay-per-view.

Smallest bill possible. An antenna for NXT, plus YouTube for AAA. Two promotions' worth of live wrestling at no monthly cost.

The services, one by one

Netflix streams Raw live on Monday and keeps replays on the same title. In the US that is all it carries live. Guides that put SmackDown and the big events on Netflix are talking about other countries.

How to find Raw:

1. Open Netflix before 8 PM ET on Monday.
2. Search for "WWE Raw" or scroll to the WWE row.
3. Select the live episode when it appears.
4. Use the same title the next day for the replay.
5. Turn on the reminder if you want a notification.

The CW carries NXT on Tuesday. It is a broadcast network, so an antenna picks it up in most markets, and the CW app streams it with ads.

USA Network carries SmackDown on Friday. It is a cable channel with no stand-alone subscription. The next-day replay is on Peacock.

ESPN's app streams WWE's Premium Live Events on the unlimited plan. The same plan also includes NXT. Some TV providers include ESPN unlimited in their packages at no extra charge, so check yours first.

TBS and TNT carry AEW's Dynamite and Collision. Like USA, they need cable or a live TV service.

HBO Max streams both AEW shows live at the same time as TV, and AEW's pay-per-views are sold inside the app.

YouTube hosts the weekly AAA show, and WWE has put some of its AAA crossover events there too.

The honest part: why one fan needs so many services

These promotions don't compete for the same viewer so much as for the same TV deal. Each one sold its shows to whoever paid most, and the buyers keep the shows inside their own apps.

For WWE that now means Netflix, a cable network, a broadcast network and ESPN. For AEW it means two Warner channels plus HBO Max. There is no combined subscription, and none is coming soon.

Two things follow. WWE's big events have no single-event purchase in the US, only the monthly ESPN plan. AEW's pay-per-views are the opposite: they cost extra on top of HBO Max every time.

The good news is that some of it costs nothing. NXT over the air, AAA on YouTube, and the AEW weekly shows on HBO Max if you already pay for it.

Before you subscribe

• Check that your live TV service lists USA Network, TBS, TNT and your local CW station for your zip code. Lineups differ by package.
• ESPN's cheaper plan does not carry WWE's Premium Live Events. The unlimited plan does.
• Netflix's ad plan carries Raw live.
• All times here are Eastern. Pacific is three hours earlier on the clock.
• Events held abroad can start earlier in the day for US viewers.
• Some events air on delay. A recent WWE and AAA crossover aired on YouTube days after it was held.
• Replays: Raw on Netflix, NXT on the CW app, SmackDown on Peacock, AEW on HBO Max, AAA on YouTube.
• Monthly plans can be cancelled and restarted. Subscribe for the months you want the shows.

FAQ

Can I watch wrestling without cable?

Mostly. Raw is on Netflix, NXT on the CW app, AEW on HBO Max, AAA on YouTube and WWE's big events on ESPN's app. SmackDown is the one that still needs a cable channel or a live TV service.

Is any wrestling free in the US?

Yes. NXT over the air or in the CW app, and the weekly AAA show on YouTube.

Where are WWE's big events now?

On ESPN's app, on the unlimited plan.

Does HBO Max include AEW pay-per-views?

No. The weekly shows are included. Pay-per-views are bought separately inside the app.

Why do some guides say it is all on Netflix?

Because outside the US it largely is. In the US, Netflix has Raw.

If I can only pick one promotion, which is simplest?

For the least hassle, AEW on HBO Max is a single subscription. For the lowest cost, AAA on YouTube.
