How to watch WWE WrestleMania 40 wherever you are
'The Showcase of the Immortals' takes place on 6-7 April.
People may fondly remember the wrestling promotion formerly known as WWF, now WWE, from its Attitude Era of the 1990s. It could be even earlier, a time defined by Andre The Giant, Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts and the ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage. We’ve had Ruthless Aggression and PG eras, but for non-wrestling fans, the concept of WWE and its flagship event, WrestleMania, might seem like a pretty bonkers one. But WrestleMania still easily one of the biggest events in the world – ‘sports entertainment’ or otherwise.
Legions of fans gather to this annual medley of body slamming, table breaking mayhem each year. Even with all that said, WWE is aiming for WrestleMania 40 to be its biggest yet. The ‘Showcase of the Immortals’, as it is humbly nicknamed, takes place on Sat 6 Apr and Sun 7 April at Lincoln Financial Field, Philidelphia.
But while WWE may refer to its fans as the ‘WWE Universe’, where on Earth can folks watch WrestleMania 40 live? Fortunately, there’s a place for you…wherever you are.
Tune in with a VPN
With a VPN, you can watch sports coverage from outside your own country. We’ve already compiled the best paid for VPN services of 2023, as well as which free VPN services can help you surf the internet in privacy. But all the major services have deals pretty much tailor-made for whatever protection and features you need from a VPN service. A few of our personal recommendations are:
US
Specific times for WrestleMania 40 will be released in due course.
Until then, in the United States, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marian Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands can watch WWE Network content exclusively through Peacock and PPV. WWE Network was its own streaming service in the US until 2021, when WWE and NBCUniversal partnered to give the Peacock streaming service exclusive rights to WWE Network in a reported $1 billion, five year deal.
Those in Canada can subscribe through local cable providers such as Bell, SaskTel and Shaw, or stream on Sportsnet NOW. In Australia, WrestleMania is available to stream on BINGE, while in India, access to WWE Network content is available through SonyLiv.

UK
In the UK, each day of WrestleMania 40 will begin in the early hours. Die hard fans may want to take the Monday off work.
You can watch WrestleMania 40 via pay-per-view, with BT Sport Box Office airing both nights of the event on – price TBC. However, we’d suggest picking up a WWE Network subscription for £9.99 per month. For a tenner, you’ll be able to stream both nights of WrestleMania live, every live WWE PPV, access to weekly Raw, Smackdown and NXT WWE programming, and more than 10,000 hours of archive video on demand to bring back those nostalgic feels.
Fancy watching some wrasslin’ but don’t fancy paying? We can dig it, sucka. The WWE Network offers a free subscription membership, with access to more than 15,000 titles, original shows, classic pay-per-views and more.
Europe
In Europe, viewers can watch WrestleMania 40 via the WWE Network, which is available in a number of European nations and can be accessed directly to watch local content. This includes countries from Spain to Sweden, but a full list of countries is available to view here.
