World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) has entered into a new five-year streaming partnership with ESPN, valued at $1.6 billion. Announced in early August 2025, the deal gives ESPN exclusive United States rights to all WWE Premium Live Events (PLEs) starting in 2026. The agreement, part of a broader content strategy by ESPN's parent company Disney, will make WWE events available through ESPN's new direct-to-consumer streaming service and cable channels, reshaping how fans access flagship shows like WrestleMania and SummerSlam.
