Rumors have been circulating all day about a possible last-minute deal between YouTubeTV and ESPN that would allow subscribers to stream WrestlePalooza through ESPN Unlimited. Ringside News can confirm there is no such deal in place.
Despite posts flooding social media platforms suggesting YouTubeTV users might get access to tonights event, there is no deal to be announced today. If you were banking on YouTubeTV to pull through at the eleventh hour, its not happening.
So how can you actually watch WWE WrestlePalooza? In the United States, the event is exclusive to the ESPN app. It wont air on ESPNs cable channel, and there are no alternative domestic streaming options. Fans will need to either subscribe directly or log in through a supported bundle.
Ringside News can confirm that if you have the Hulu + Live TV, Disney+, and ESPN Select bundle, youre good to go. That package gives you access to ESPN Unlimited, allowing you to sign into the ESPN app using your Disney account credentials and stream the event live.
For fans outside the U.S., WrestlePalooza will stream live on Netflix in several countries, including the UK, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and more than 30 others. Those users will be able to enjoy the full event without needing ESPN at all.
While the YouTubeTV talk created some false hope, the official streaming options remain unchanged. WWE fans looking to tune in will need to use the ESPN app or Netflix, depending on their location.
