There are few things on the planet that can fill out arenas and sell PPV television quite like WWE. For generations its thrilled fans, making superstars out of Hulk Hogan, the Undertaker, Stone Cold, John Cena, just to name a few. And it's as popular as it's ever been.

It's event television like nothing else, but these days there are multiple broadcasters showing the various events, with wrestling available to watch and live stream daily. So, whether you're looking to watch an elimination chamber, WrestleMania or Monday night Raw, here's all you need to know about watching WWE…

Which channels have the rights to WWE wrestling?

Currently, there are four broadcasters in the USA with rights to WWE shows, meaning you have to ensure you have the right networks to get your full fix of the shows. The two big weekly shows, Raw and SmackDown are both broadcast live on Mondays and Fridays respectively, with Monday night Raw live on USA Network and SmackDown on Fox Sports.

However, SmackDown will be moving to the USA Network in October 2024 when the current deal with Fox expires. That will see NBCUniversal Television have a bit of a monopoly on the WWE with Peacock also the home of the premium live events such as the Royal Rumble and SummerSlam.

For those wanting to enjoy the NXT roster, essentially the next generation of stars, WWE Main Event, is also broadcast weekly, shown each Thursday night on Hulu. You'll find some great bouts here, with the North American title often going on the line as names like Dominik Mysterio and Dragon Lee go head-to-head.

Best TV packages to watch WWE in 2024

With different events on various channels, there are several ways of getting all the different events across the week, so whether you're wanting to cheer on Becky Lynch in the ring, watch the next Roman Reigns bout, or any of your other favourite stars, you've got the right live stream to watch WWE.

Among the best packages to watch WWE currently are:

• Peacock

  Peacock is NBC's streaming service and offers a huge range of content from reality TV to Premier League soccer, NFL and more. It's, of course, a place where you can also stream WWE, with the ability to watch the USA Network and the PPV events, where many of the big belts are on the line. At present, it would leave you without SmackDown on Fox, but that would change when it returns to the USA Network in October 2024.

  Peacock is priced at $5.99 per month for a version with ads in the on-demand content, or $11.99 per month without that. Alternatively, you can make a saving with a yearly subscription, priced at $59.99 or $119.99. Live premium events are PPV and require a one-off fee to watch.

  It's available on a range of devices, from streaming on your television to your smartphone or tablet.

• Sling TV

  Sling TV offers a relatively reasonably priced option, priced at $40 per month. However, this will give you both NBC and Fox Sports. For this you need the Blue package, which also comes with the USA Network, giving you access to both of the main weekly events in the WWE.

  The Sling Blue package comes with a total of 40 channels that you can watch, giving you much more than Peacock, while you can also add Sling Orange, which features 32 channels for an additional $15 per month. It's a non-contract subscription, meaning you can cancel at any time.

  Alongside WWE, you'll be able to watch a stack of live sports, from boxing to MMA, soccer to NFL, NBA and beyond.

• fuboTV

  Get fuboTV

  Streaming service fuboTV is one of the premier packages for sports fans, but it does come at a cost. It features all the channels you need to watch WWE Raw and SmackDown, with around 170 channels in total.

  It's a package if you're big television fans, and big sports fans. The Pro package, which is the most basic, is priced at $74.99 per month on a rolling contract basis. This comes with a huge amount of sports channels, where you can watch sport from around the world, as well as WWE action.

  There are bigger packages too. The Elite subscription provides over 200 channels at $84.99, but you don't necessarily need that if you're only interested in streaming WWE.

• DirecTV

  DirecTV offers a similar deal to FuboTV, with a large number of networks in their most basic package. The Entertainment package is priced at $64.99 per month, and it will provide you with the USA Network and Fox Sports, so you can enjoy WWE Raw and SmackDown. However, you will need a separate Peacock account to purchase PPV events, which are exclusive to the streaming platform.

  Other packages are available with DirecTV, which will bring you even more channels, with both the Ultimate and Premier packages priced at $109.99 and $154.99 per month. All DirecTV packages are based on a 24-month contract.
