WWE is approaching the scheduled expiration of its streaming partnership for WWE NXT content on Peacock in the United States, with the current contract expected to end in April 2026. According to reports from PWInsider, NXT premium live events and archived shows may soon be removed from Peacock if no renewal deal is reached.
The last major event under this agreement is anticipated to be NXT Stand & Deliver, set for April 4, 2026, coinciding with WrestleMania weekend. This will mark the end of a collaboration that began when WWE Network content was integrated into Peacock’s platform in 2021.
Changes in WWE’s Streaming Strategy for Premium Events
WWE has shifted the streaming rights for most main-roster premium live events to ESPN’s Unlimited streaming tier in the U.S. following a new media deal signed last year. With this transition, WWE NXT remains one of the few WWE brands tied to Peacock for airing live special events.
Even if NXT premium live events depart from Peacock, the platform is expected to continue hosting selected WWE programming. This is due to a separate multi-year content agreement made in August, which includes specials like Saturday Night’s Main Event and archived documentary series such as WWE Evil.
Uncertainty Over Future Streaming Platforms for NXT Content
WWE has yet to disclose where NXT’s premium live events or its complete library will be available for streaming in the United States after the Peacock deal ends. Internationally, WWE’s premium live events remain accessible through Netflix under a distinct global rights contract.
