A bit of recent context

  • The 2026 Royal Rumble is being held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and starts at 2 p.m. ET on Saturday, January 31, which is why the timing may feel earlier than older U.S.-based shows.
  • WWE’s big events have shifted from older setups like WWE Network/Peacock in the U.S. to this newer ESPN + Netflix arrangement for 2026, so older forum posts talking about Peacock are out of date for this year’s show.

Quick FAQ style notes

  • Is it on Netflix in the U.S.?
    • No, not in the U.S. ; Netflix only carries it in certain countries outside the U.S.
  • Can I just use Disney+?
    • Only if your Disney+ is part of the Disney+, Hulu, ESPN Unlimited bundle, because the live stream is tied to ESPN Unlimited , not base Disney+ alone.
  • What if I only see old Royal Rumble events?
    • Some older Rumbles are still on platforms like Peacock or other archives, but the live 2026 event is specifically through ESPN / ESPN Unlimited in the U.S. and Netflix in many international markets.
