WWE will return to ESPN Unlimited in the United States — and Netflix everywhere else — tonight (Sat., April 18, 2026) with their biggest premium live event of the year, WrestleMania!
Night One of WrestleMania 42 will feature four title matches, culminating in the much-discussed Undisputed WWE title match between champion Cody Rhodes and challenger Randy Orton — with ESPN’s Pat McAfee in his corner.
The event will get rolling at 3 p.m. Eastern with the free Countdown show, which runs for three hours on WWE and ESPN’s online outlets, among other places. That leads right on into the premium live event at 6 p.m. Eastern, which in the United States starts on ESPN2 with two matches (Jacob Fatu and Drew McIntyre’s Unsanctioned Match, The Usos & LA Knight vs. IShowSpeed & The Vision), then after an hour moves to ESPN’s new streaming platform. Everywhere else (or if you take new Hall of Famer Stephanie McMahon’s advice), it’s on Netflix.
