WWE will return to ESPN Unlimited in the United States — and Netflix everywhere else — today (Sat., June 27, 2026) with its Night of Champions premium live event, which comes our way Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the second straight year!
The event will feature Cody Rhodes once again defending his Undisputed WWE championship against Gunther, this time with Sami Zayn in the mix. We’ll also see Liv Morgan take on IYO SKY in the Queen of the Ring finals for a SummerSlam World title shot, and Oba Femi vs. Jey Uso for the same prize – and the King of the Ring crown. And those are only half of the star-studded matches booked for Saturday’s show at Kingdom Arena!
Unless you’re in the Arabia Standard or East Africa time zones, Night of Champions will start streaming live at an unusual time.
For those of in the U.S., the event will get rolling at 11 a.m. Eastern, 8 a.m. Pacific with the free Countdown show, which runs for two hours on WWE and ESPN’s online outlets, among other places. That leads right into the premium live event at 1 p.m. Eastern, 10 a.m. on the West Coast, and that will require an ESPN or Netflix subscription.
The first hour of the show will be available on cable network ESPN, so that’s the only subscription you’ll need for the first match or two — regardless of whether their cable or satellite provider has worked things out to get you ESPN Unlimited for no additional cost (as ESPN & its parent company Disney have promised they eventually will).
