Peacock has secured a multiyear agreement with WWE for the exclusive streaming rights to WWE Network in the U.S.

WWE Network is slated to launch on Peacock on March 18, beginning the roll-out of more than 17,000 hours of new, original and library WWE Network programming on-demand and on a 24/7 channel. The agreement includes all live pay-per-view events, such as WrestleMania and SummerSlam; original series like Steve Austin Broken Skull Sessions, Undertaker: The Last Ride and WWE Icons; in-ring shows like NXT, NXT UK and WWE 205 Live, as well as replays of Raw and SmackDown; WWE Network archives; and documentaries.

WWE Network, including all PPVs, will be available on Peacock Premium for $4.99. For an ad-free experience, Peacock Premium Plus will be available for $9.99.

Rick Cordella, executive VP and chief revenue officer at Peacock, said: “NBCUniversal has a long-standing relationship with WWE that began nearly 30 years ago with Monday Night Raw on USA. WWE has always tapped into the cultural zeitgeist with spectacular live events and larger-than-life characters, and we are thrilled to be the exclusive home for WWE Network and its millions of fans across the country. WWE Network is a transformative addition to the platform and complements Peacock’s massive catalog of iconic movies and shows, as well as the best live news and sports, from NBCUniversal and beyond.”

Nick Khan, WWE president and chief revenue officer, added: “We are thrilled to further the long-standing and trusted partnership WWE has with NBCUniversal. Peacock is an innovative platform that will enable us to showcase our most significant events, including WrestleMania, and provide the extraordinary entertainment our fans have come to expect with the combination of premium WWE content, live sports, news, films, and television programs.”
