Roku, the #1 TV streaming platform in the U.S., Canada, and
Mexico, and the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) announced
a new partnership that exclusively brings the promotion’s
live professional wrestling matches to The Roku Channel.
Starting on July 29, NWA matches will stream for free in the
U.S. every Tuesday at 8:00 PM ET/5:00 PM PT on The Roku
Channel’s Roku Sports Channel. In Canada and Mexico,
audiences will be able to watch for free on The Roku
Channel.
“We’re thrilled to call The Roku Channel the streaming home
of the National Wrestling Alliance, and as Billy and his
team continue to excite audiences, we look forward to
tapping into the scale of our platform to bring this
historic and storied promotion to millions of viewers,” said
Joe Franzetta, Head of Sports, Roku Media.
“When I purchased the National Wrestling Alliance in 2017,
it was understood we were inheriting the history and legacy
of the most storied brand in all combat sports, so to
announce today we have now partnered with the #1 TV
streaming platform in North America is indeed a moment to be
proud of,” said Billy Corgan, Owner, National Wrestling
Alliance. “I look forward to sharing new episodes of ‘NWA
Powerrr’ with the incredible audience that Roku brings.”
Established in 1948, the National Wrestling Alliance is one
of the oldest and most prestigious professional wrestling
brands worldwide. In 2017, internationally renowned
recording artist William Patrick Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins)
acquired the NWA with the vision of reinventing the brand
for the modern era while honoring its legacy from the 1980s.
The NWA has expanded its programming, starting with the
critically acclaimed “Ten Pounds Of Gold” docuseries,
followed by weekly broadcasts of “NWA Powerrr.” You can
follow the NWA across social media platforms such as Meta,
X, and YouTube for exclusive content.
The Roku Channel is available to stream on Roku devices or
TVs and can be easily accessed online at TheRokuChannel.com
and on iOS and Android devices, Amazon Fire TVs, Samsung
TVs, and Google TVs and other Android TV OS devices.
