Saturday Night’s Main Event is primarily available through Peacock in the U.S., with some access via live TV streaming services that carry NBC and on- demand archives through WWE’s platforms. Classic episodes and many recent specials are also bundled inside Peacock’s WWE library.

Main way to watch

  • The current “Saturday Night’s Main Event” specials (including John Cena’s farewell show) stream exclusively on Peacock in the U.S.
  • Live broadcasts air on NBC at 8 p.m. ET when scheduled, but the full event is then available on demand in Peacock’s WWE section.

Streaming options

  • Peacock (recommended) :
    • Hosts live streams of Saturday Night’s Main Event and the full replay afterward.
* Includes a large library of classic Saturday Night’s Main Event episodes as part of the WWE content hub.
  • Live TV services (for NBC feed) :
    • Services such as YouTube TV list Saturday Night’s Main Event in their NBC live channel lineup when it airs, letting you watch the NBC broadcast and then use cloud DVR.
* This is useful if you already pay for a live TV bundle and just want the NBC airing rather than the full WWE archive.

Older episodes and archives

  • Many of the classic 1980s–2000s Saturday Night’s Main Event shows are available as curated collections in Peacock under WWE classics.
  • WWE’s own site and schedule pages track upcoming Main Event specials and sometimes link directly to the Peacock stream or to ticket info for live shows.

Quick FAQ

  • Can you watch it free?
    • The most recent guidance is that the only real “cheap” route is subscribing to Peacock; free trials are not consistently offered, and any “watch free” guides usually just point you toward signing up there.
  • Outside the U.S.?
    • Availability can differ by region; in many countries, WWE Network content (now often folded into a local streaming partner) carries the same events, but you need to check your local WWE broadcaster or streaming partner listing.
