The 2025 Royal Rumble is a prominent shift for WWE. This year, for the first time ever, Netflix is striding into the ring as the official home for a WWE live event in many countries. That means, depending on where you live, you might be watching the action in a totally new way.

WWE fans knew major changes were coming when, earlier this month, Netflix made a massive $5 billion deal to take over as the exclusive home of Monday Night RAW. After three decades on conventional TV, RAW has now been locomoted to the world’s biggest streaming platform, and WWE is kicking off this new era with a Royal Rumble like no other.

But not everyone will be watching on Netflix. If you’re in the United States, for example, the Rumble is still airing on Peacock—same as always. Meanwhile, in places like the UK, Canada, and Germany, fans will need to log into Netflix to catch the action.

Confused? Don’t worry, we’ll break it all down. The Royal Rumble is always a must-watch event, featuring two enormous battle royals—one for the men, one for the women—where 30 superstars enter the ring one by one until only one remains.

The winners get a ticket to WrestleMania, making this one of the most exciting nights in WWE. Want to know when to watch, where to watch, and who’s competing? We’ve got you covered. Here’s everything you need to know about Royal Rumble 2025.

If you’re watching from Asia, Australia, or Europe, you might need to set an alarm or grab some coffee—because the show airs in the middle of the night or early morning. But it’ll be worth it.

Where can you watch Royal Rumble 2025 in these locations?

This year, where you watch depends on where you live. WWE has made huge streaming changes, and now fans around the world have distinct platforms to tune in. Here’s how it breaks down:

• United States – Peacock is still the home for WWE pay-per-view events in the US. So, if you’re in the States, don’t bother checking Netflix—just head over to Peacock.

• United Kingdom & Most International Markets – Netflix is the new home for WWE in many countries, including the UK, Canada, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and Mexico. If you’re in one of these places, you’ll need a Netflix subscription to watch.

• India – WWE fans in India can stream the event live on SonyLIV, just like before.

• Saudi Arabia – Just like in the UK, WWE is now on Netflix in Saudi Arabia.

• Australia – Netflix will work here too.

• Canada – Netflix has taken over WWE streaming in Canada as well, so that’s where you’ll find the Rumble.

• Germany – Netflix is your go-to platform for all WWE content now.

• Japan – Fans in Japan can watch the Royal Rumble on Abema TV, which has the exclusive rights.

• Mexico – Netflix is now the place to watch WWE in Mexico too.

• Brazil – WWE fans in Brazil can also watch on Netflix under the new global deal.

• South Africa – If you’re in South Africa, Netflix is now the official home of WWE events.

So, to sum it up: If you’re in the US, go to Peacock. If you’re anywhere else, Netflix is probably your new home for WWE (unless you’re in India, Japan, or Australia, where local platforms still carry it).
