WWE NXT PLEs To Air On The CW

WWE and The CW have expanded their partnership over NXT programming, and it has been announced that NXT premium live events will air on The CW in the United States as part of a 20-show deal.

CW Network President Brad Schwartz said about the deal:

"WWE NXT has energised our Tuesday nights by consistently delivering a loyal and passionate fanbase to The CW every week. Adding WWE NXT premium live events to our schedule is a natural fit, providing one broadcast destination for audiences to watch all their favourite Superstars, storylines and championship matches."

WWE NXT has aired on Tuesday nights on The CW in the United States since October 2024 as part of a five-year deal worth between $20 million and $25 million per year, but NXT's major events had continued to air on Peacock.

The United States media rights for NXT PLEs held by Peacock expired on March 17, however, and WWE were without a new arrangement prior to The CW deal. This is why NXT Stand & Deliver 2026 aired on YouTube.

The weekly WWE NXT series and NXT PLEs will continue to air on Netflix internationally. NXT has been available on the streaming service since January 2025 as part of a 10-year deal worth $5 billion which includes the rights to air Monday Night Raw in much of the world, including the United States, and to air SmackDown, NXT, and WWE pay-per-views in international markets.
