Is WWE Network Moving to Peacock?
As you may have heard, WWE Network is moving to Peacock! In this blog post, we’ll break down what this means for you as a WWE Network subscriber.
Introduction
As of late 2020, there has been much speculation that WWE Network is moving to NBCUniversal’s new streaming service, Peacock. While WWE has not made any official announcement, there are many indications that this is indeed the plan.
WWE Network is currently available in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, India, Philippines, China, Japan and Mexico. It offers a mix of live and on-demand content, including all WWE pay-per-view events as well as original programming.
If WWE Network does move to Peacock, it would join a growing list of sports content on the platform. NBC Sports is already streaming several major events on Peacock, including the Olympics and NHL games. Adding WWE Network would give Peacock a significant leg up in the battle for sports fans’ attention – and wallet share.
It remains to be seen when – or if – an official announcement will be made. In the meantime, we’ll be keeping an eye on this story and will update this article as more information becomes available.
