When it comes to thrilling adrenaline-pumping action, WrestleMania has always delivered beyond expectations, and this year's WWE WrestleMania 42 is going to be no different, with some of the most eagerly awaited fights in recent memory on the card. The event will follow WWE's brightest talents as they square off in championship showdowns and high-stakes events over the course of two nights - April 18 and 19. This yearly showcase, which takes place in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, pulls together the major storylines from Raw and SmackDown. 

While the desert becomes a battlefield, the main concern is regarding where the American audience can witness this epic event online - is it on Netflix or on any other platform?

For WWE fans in the US, WrestleMania 42 will only be available to watch on the ESPN app, which requires an active $29.99/month ESPN Unlimited membership. This holds true whether one watches via a TV provider that offers ESPN Unlimited, the app, or a browser. WrestleMania 42 begins at 6 p.m. ET and 3 p.m. PT on Saturday, April 18, 2026, and continues on Sunday, April 19, 2026, at the same time.

Because WWE has a separate domestic broadcast agreement with ESPN for live events, WrestleMania 42 is not available on Netflix in the US. ESPN is the official platform for watching the event live in the United States, while Netflix has the rights to stream it internationally.

WrestleMania 42 will be available on Netflix outside of the United States. The UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Chile, Colombia, and numerous other regions in Europe, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific are among the confirmed Netflix territories.
