More details on WWE PLEs moving to ESPN - Reports

WWE recently made a huge announcement for the future of their premium live events for fans in the United States. Almost all of the company's biggest shows will move from Peacock to ESPN.

World Wrestling Entertainment's business has been thriving since its merger with UFC under the TKO Group Holdings. One of the biggest stories of last year was the Stamford-based promotion's massive partnership with Netflix. Now the company has grabbed the headlines once again with its massive deal with ESPN, in which the company's premium live events will shift from Peacock to ESPN starting from 2026 in the United States.

Since this announcement, many fans in the United States have been wondering if they will have to splash more money to watch WWE PLEs from 2026. There is some good news for the audience, as according to a recent report by Cory Hays of BodySlam, fans who already pay for cable in the US will receive the ESPN service at no extra charge.

"The ESPN service will be available to those who have cable at no additional cost," he wrote.
