WWE officially arrives on Netflix from January 6, 2025. The streaming platform becomes the official broadcaster in certain countries. As for France, we will still have to wait. But if you want to watch WWE on Netflix in 2025 from France, we tell you how to do it.
In January 2024, Netflix announced that it had signed an agreement with WWE for the broadcast of the American company's various wrestling programs. This long-term partnership will be effective from Monday January 6, 2025, with the diffusion en direct du Monday Night Raw.
For the moment, this partnership only concerns certain countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and certain countries in South America. Some European countries are also affected. This is the case of Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and even Sweden. But for now, France is not yet on the list.
Where to watch WWE in France in 2025?
Nothing changes in France. In 2025, AB1 remains the official broadcaster of WWE RAW, WWE SmackDown and NXT. As for pay-per-view shows (Premium Live Events), you will still have to rely on the WWE Network.
As a reminder, AB1 is available on channel 81 at Orange, 51 on Free decoders, 58 at SFR, 70 at Bouygues Telecom or even on number 46 at Canal+.
Note that these different shows are not broadcast live on AB1but a few days after their retransmission in the United States. Netflix will broadcast them live. These shows will then remain available on video on demand.
How to watch WWE on Netflix from France?
Netflix has promised that more countries will be added to the list in the coming months. But for now, the only way to access WWE on the streaming platform from France is to go through the catalog of one of the eligible countries.
Two conditions are required to achieve this: you must first have a Netflix subscription. Afterwards, you definitely need a VPN to connect from one of the eligible countries. Note that not all VPNs are able to unblock foreign content from Netflix.
We have achieved this several times using NordVPN, one of the rare solutions that achieves this over time. So you can use NordVPN to connect to Netflix from the United States, the United Kingdom or Australia.

Finally, Netflix has indicated that no additional subscription is required to watch WWE streaming. You can therefore access it using your usual subscription, at no additional cost.
Are all WWE shows available on Netflix?
The answer is yes. All WWE shows will be accessible on Netflix in the various eligible countries, except in the United States where only WWE Raw (Monday Night Raw) will be broadcast. Netflix broadcasting rights are in fact limited in the USA for WWE, but they are full in all other countries where the streaming platform broadcasts the various American wrestling shows.
On Netflix, you can therefore watch Raw, SmackDown and NXT shows every week, as well as premium live events (WrestleMania, SummerSlam or even Royal Rumble). However, if you connect to Netflix US, you will only be able to access WWE Raw shows.
