WWE Partners with Netflix in $5 Billion Deal to Stream 'Monday Night Raw'

The landmark 10-year agreement marks WWE's move from linear TV to global streaming, maintaining its family-friendly content while expanding international reach.

Starting January 6, 2025, WWE's flagship show 'Monday Night Raw' will stream live on Netflix, marking the first time the program leaves linear television since its debut over 30 years ago.
The $5 billion, 10-year deal includes global streaming rights for 'Raw' and WWE's premium live events, excluding the U.S., where Peacock retains rights until 2026.
WWE confirmed that programming will remain TV-PG, emphasizing family-friendly and multigenerational appeal, despite speculation about edgier content on Netflix.
Netflix plans to leverage its platform to boost WWE's global presence, with more international events, expanded recruitment efforts, and additional WWE-related content like documentaries and scripted series in development.
Executives addressed concerns about technical issues from previous live streams, assuring viewers that lessons learned will ensure smoother broadcasts for WWE's debut and beyond.
