Overview

• Wrestlepalooza streams Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. ET exclusively on ESPN Unlimited in the U.S., with international broadcasts on Netflix.
• ESPN confirmed that subscribers on several major providers, including Comcast and YouTube TV, cannot authenticate into ESPN Unlimited yet.
• Customers on Hulu + Live TV, DirecTV (streaming), Fubo, Spectrum and Verizon Fios can authenticate at no extra cost, while others must buy the $29.99 monthly plan.
• Executives said the early start of the five-year deal involved no contact with Peacock and framed the Sept. 20 date as tied to ESPN’s DTC launch and college football, not countering AEW.
• ESPN said a minimum number of future WWE premium events will be simulcast on linear TV, though this inaugural show is app-only in the U.S.
