World Wrestling Entertainment’s flagship and most popular programme – Monday Night Raw – will only be available on Netflix from January 2025.

The video on-demand over-the-top streaming service has penned a 10-year deal for $5 billion. It’s easily their biggest foray into streaming live sport events.

Monday Night Raw has been broadcast live on television for over three decades, and helped launch the careers of household names such as ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

WWE Raw On Netflix

The groundbreaking deal was announced on Tuesday (01/23/2024). Netflix will be hoping to expand and increase their technology used in capturing live events.

TKO – the company formed when WWE merged with UFC – have confirmed that subscribers from the US, Canada, UK and Latin America will be able to enjoy the show from next year.

Plans are already in place to stream the show in other areas across the world. Pay-per-view events such as Wrestlemania, Royal Rumble and SummerSlam will also be available for subscribers.

Netflix are planning to stream three live shows per-week. Currently, there are approximately 17.5 million viewers of watch Monday Night Raw on a weekly basis in the US.

It appears to be a bold decision to move Monday Night Raw away from linear television after a sustained period of success and longevity. But one that’ll surely pay-off in the long term.

This partnership is one that will break new ground, and take @WWE to new heights. Thrilled to bring #WWERaw to @Netflix, coming January 2025.

Now we change the game!!!! https://t.co/ridOlqq0Gc
