Introduction
WWE Network is an American subscription-based video streaming service owned by WWE, using the infrastructure of Major League Baseball Advanced Media. The concept was originally announced in January 2014. The service officially launched on February 24, 2014, in the United States.
As of July 2020, WWE Network had approximately 1.8 million subscribers. In April 2021, WWE and NBCUniversal announced that WWE Network would be migrating to Peacock on March 18, 2021.
What is WWE Network?
WWE Network is a subscription-based video streaming service owned by WWE, using the infrastructure of Major League Baseball Advanced Media. The concept was originally announced in January 2011. The service officially launched on February 24, 2014.
What is Peacock?
Peacock is a streaming service from NBCUniversal that offers a variety of TV shows, movies, and sports. It launched nationwide on July 15th, 2020. NBCUniversal is the parent company of WWE and WWE Network.
Why is WWE Network moving to Peacock?
As of March 18th, 2020, the WWE Network will no longer be available as a standalone streaming service. Instead, it will be moving to NBCUniversal’s new streaming service, Peacock.
There are a few reasons for this change. First and foremost, NBCUniversal is the new owner of WWE programming, as they recently acquired the company that previously held those rights (WWE’s parent company, Vince McMahon’s World Wrestling Entertainment).
In addition, NBCUniversal has been working on launching their own streaming service, Peacock, which is set to launch in April of 2020. It made sense for them to move the WWE Network over to Peacock, as it will help increase the number of subscribers to their new service.
Finally, it’s worth noting that WWE Network was never a very profitable venture for WWE. In fact, in 2019 they actually took a loss of $28 million due to the cost of running the Network. Therefore, it made sense for them to sell it off to NBCUniversal and focus on other areas of their business.
So what does this mean for you? If you’re a current WWE Network subscriber, your account will simply be transferred over to Peacock on March 18th. You’ll still have access to all of the same content that you currently enjoy on WWE Network, plus a whole lot more from NBCUniversal. And if you’re not a current subscriber, you’ll be able to sign up for Peacock and get access to WWE Network content starting April 7th.
When does WWE Network go to Peacock?
WWE Network is moving to Peacock on March 18, 2021. This means that you will no longer be able to access WWE Network through the WWE app or wwe.com. You will need to sign up for Peacock Premium in order to keep watching WWE content.
What does this mean for WWE Network subscribers?
As of March 18th, 2021, WWE Network will be moving to Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming service. This move has been rumoured for a while, but it’s finally official.
What does this mean for WWE Network subscribers? Well, if you’re already a subscriber, you don’t need to do anything. Your subscription will simply transfer over to Peacock. You’ll still have access to all the same content, and you won’t see any change in price.
If you’re not a subscriber yet, you can sign up for Peacock Premium (which includes WWE Network) for $4.99 per month. There is also a free tier of Peacock, but it does not include WWE Network. So if you want to continue watching WWE programming, you’ll need to sign up for the premium version.
The move to Peacock will give WWE access to a much larger audience. Peacock has over 30 million subscribers, whereas WWE Network only has about 1.5 million. This should help WWE grow its audience and bring in new viewers.
Some fans are concerned that the move will mean less focus on wrestling and more on entertainment programming. However, WWE has said that they intend to keep the network “100% dedicated to wrestling” and that it will remain “the ultimate destination for fans of WWE and professional wrestling”. So it seems like fans have nothing to worry about on that front.
