ESPN and WWE announced that WWE Premium Live Events will
debut on ESPN platforms beginning September 20, earlier than
previously announced.
The first WWE PLE to kick off the ESPN partnership will be
the first-ever Wrestlepalooza on Saturday, September 20,
live from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Wrestlepalooza will stream live on the new ESPN direct-to-
consumer streaming service, beginning at 7pm ET/4pm PT.
On September 20, ESPN becomes the exclusive U.S. domestic
home of all WWE PLEs, with all PLEs available to ESPN DTC
subscribers with the unlimited plan. Clash in Paris will be
the last PLE to air on Peacock.
The ESPN DTC service will stream all WWE PLEs annually, in
their entirety, with select simulcasting on ESPN linear
platforms.
ESPN will launch its new DTC streaming service and a set of
new features on an enhanced ESPN App on Thursday, August 21.
