WWE Network Shutting Down In UK – WWE Network is officially shutting down in the United Kingdom and Ireland as the transition to Netflix looms. Starting January 1, 2025, Netflix will become the exclusive streaming home for WWE content in these regions, including live broadcasts of RAW, SmackDown, NXT, and Premium Live Events.
Subscribers to WWE Network in the U.K. and Ireland recently received an email outlining the next steps. The message confirmed that WWE Network subscriptions have been canceled and will not renew. In appreciation of loyal subscribers, WWE Network will remain free throughout December 2024 before closing its doors at the end of the year.
Key Excerpts From WWE’s Email
“On January 1, 2025, WWE Network will no longer be available in your area, and Netflix will be the new exclusive home of WWE. As a result, subscription to WWE Network has been disabled in the app store and will not renew on your next billing date.
As a thank you for being a valued subscriber, we welcome you to continue enjoying WWE Network with complimentary access until December 31, 2024, after which you will need to subscribe to Netflix to continue enjoying WWE content, including all Premium Live Events as well as Raw, SmackDown, and NXT — streaming live, in one place, for the first time ever. If you already have a Netflix subscription, you’re all set.”
This marks a significant shift in WWE’s global streaming strategy. For the first time, major WWE programming will stream live alongside other Netflix content, consolidating WWE’s presence on a mainstream platform. The move is part of WWE’s broader Netflix partnership, reflecting a new chapter for the company in the digital streaming era.
Subscribers who already have Netflix accounts won’t need to take additional steps, but for those without Netflix, a subscription will be required starting January 1 to access WWE programming.
This follows similar transitions in other regions, such as Peacock’s takeover of WWE Network in the United States, signaling WWE’s growing integration with larger streaming platforms. Fans will likely see additional features and a potentially enhanced viewing experience as WWE debuts on Netflix.
