WWE Saturday Night's Main Event Moves Exclusively To Peacock

WWE has entered a new multi-year agreement with Peacock, making the streaming service the exclusive home for the quarterly Saturday Night’s Main Event specials, starting with events on November 1 and December 13, 2025, the latter featuring John Cena’s retirement match. This deal follows WWE’s earlier-than-expected move of its main roster premium live events to ESPN’s direct-to-consumer platform beginning with the WrestlePalooza event on September 20. Peacock will retain the WWE Network library through the end of 2025 and continue streaming NXT Premium Live Events through March 2026, while also holding the SmackDown library on a 30-day delay, with USA Network remaining the live broadcast home. WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque and NBC Sports President Rick Cordella praised the long-standing partnership, emphasizing the value of Saturday Night’s Main Event as premium WWE content. The new arrangement solidifies Peacock’s role in WWE’s media strategy amid the shifting of live event rights to ESPN. Historically, Saturday Night’s Main Event has had a long association with NBCUniversal, originally airing on NBC in the 1980s and early 2000s before its recent revival.
