Introduction

As of March 18th, 2021, WWE Network is officially moving to Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming service. This follows the recent trend of companies consolidating their streaming services in order to compete with the likes of Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+.

WWE Network has been around since February 2014 and has been a key part of WWE’s recent success. The move to Peacock will no doubt be a positive one for both WWE and NBCUniversal, but it does leave some fans wonder: when is WWE Network moving to Peacock?

The answer is that the transition will happen gradually over the course of several months. Starting on March 18th, 2021, new subscribers will be able to sign up for Peacock Premium in order to watch WWE Network. Current subscribers will be able to continue watching WWE Network on its current platform until August 31st, 2021. On September 1st, 2021, all content from WWE Network will move exclusively to Peacock.

This gradual transition should allow for a smooth transition for both current and new subscribers. And with Peacock Premium starting at just $4.99/month, there’s never been a better time to be a fan of WWE!

Why is WWE Network moving to Peacock?

WWE Network first launched in February 2014 as a live-streaming and on-demand platform for professional wrestling content. It has since evolved to become one of the most popular streaming services among professional wrestling fans, with a library of more than 10,000 hours of content.

The move to Peacock will give WWE Network subscribers access to a much larger library of content, as well as some exclusive features that are not available on the standalone WWE Network platform.

Some of the most popular WWE Network shows, such as WrestleMania and Royal Rumble, will still be available on the Peacock premium tier. However, other shows such as NXT and Monday Night Raw will only be available on the basic Peacock subscription.

NBCUniversal says that the move will help make WWE content more accessible to a wider audience. “WWE has one of the most passionate and engaged fan bases in all of entertainment, and we are thrilled to bring WWE Network and its wealth of iconic programming to Peacock,” said Rick Cordella, Executive Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer at NBCUniversal Digital Enterprises.

The transition from WWE Network to Peacock is scheduled to begin on March 18, 2021.
