The biggest party of the summer is back in action this weekend, with two nights of action on the calendar. With CM Punk and Cody Rhodes dominating night one’s match card and Seth Rollins taking on Roman Reigns to headline night two, 2026 is already shaping up to be a big one. I’m showing you how to watch WWE SummerSlam anywhere around the world right here.
Feuds, battles for icon status, and the return of Hell in a Cell- this weekend’s WWE SummerSlam has veterans and newer talents duking it out for their shot at championship status.
Yes, everyone’s going to be locking eyes on Cody Rhodes’ attempts to take down the old guard, and of course the next chapter of Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins’ long-term rivalry is going to be top billing. But we’ve got Brock Lesnar and Oba Femi stepping into The Cell, the first match of its kind in two years.
Night one will also continue the Bloodline saga, and we can expect plenty of drama, twists, and turns as Jacob Fatu and the Usos go against LA Knight, Solo Sikoa & Royce Keys. Meanwhile, Liv Morgan and Iyo Sky will duke it out for the Women’s World Championship title.
Whether you’re new to the franchise or tuning in after decades of fandom, here’s how to watch WWE SummerSlam all around the world.
How to watch WWE SummerSlam anywhere in the world
WWE SummerSlam is streaming live on Netflix internationally and ESPN in the US, but if you’re currently away from home, you may find yourself locked out of your usual content. That’s because streaming sites limit their content based on your location, with different libraries for different territories. If you’re looking to watch WWE SummerSlam as if you were at home, though, there’s a solution.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) masks your IP address, which means you can simply log into a server located back home and watch as if you were sitting right on your own couch.
We recommend Nord VPN first up. It’s one of the more popular options on the market, and came out on top when we set about hunting down the best VPN for gaming. With the highest speed test results of our test pool, and 9,300 servers in over 211 locations, it’s smooth, fast, and reliable. Right now, you can also grab three months extra for free, with a 30-day money-back guarantee available should you change your mind.
How to watch WWE SummerSlam in the US
ESPN has broadcast rights for WWE SummerSlam in the US, which means you’ll need an ESPN subscription if you don’t have the channel on cable. The ESPN Unlimited tier you need to watch WWE SummerSlam live comes in at $29.99 per month.
Coverage begins at 3pm ET with the Countdown to SummerSlam, before moving through Saturday’s main event coverage at 6pm ET. The same timeline holds for Sunday’s action as well.
If you find yourself away from home, your usual ESPN membership might not be available. We recommend NordVPN to circumvent those pesky geoblocks, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
How to watch WWE SummerSlam in the UK
UK viewers can watch WWE SummerSlam live (and on demand if you can’t quite stay up late enough) on Netflix. The weekend is available across all subscription tiers, so you’ll be able to unlock access with a simple £5.99 ads plan.
Coverage in the UK starts at 11pm BST, so it’s going to be a late one.
If you’re away from home, you can use NordVPN to log into your Netflix account and watch as if you were back in Blighty.
How to watch WWE SummerSlam in Australia
Australian viewers can also live stream WWE SummerSlam via Netflix, with the full event available across all membership tiers. Membership starts at $9.99 per month for the base tier with ads.
The weekend is shifted slightly for Straya, with night one kicking off at 8am AEST on Sunday, August 2 and the second event running from 8am AEST on Monday, August 3.
Those travelling away from home during the weekend can still log into their Netflix accounts as if they were still in the country. NordVPN allows you to circumvent the geoblocks that will otherwise stop you watching your content abroad.
