WWE has announced that Netflix will be home to the company's weekly flagship program - WWE Raw from 2025 following a long-term partnership with the world's leading entertainment service.

This marks a major programming shift as Raw leaves linear television for the first time since its inception 31 years ago. The deal will see Raw being exclusively available through Netflix from January 2025 in the US, Canada, UK and Latin America, among other territories.

Additional countries and regions will be added over time, meaning India too could be added once WWE's five-year broadcast deal with Sony Pictures Network ends in March 2025. But with Sony being home to all the programs, they may extend their deal with WWE in 2025.

Likewise, as part of the agreement, Netflix will also become the home for all WWE shows and specials outside the US as available, inclusive of Raw and other weekly shows - SmackDown and NXT - as well as the Premium Live Events, including WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Royal Rumble.

WWE's award-winning documentaries, original series and forthcoming projects will also be available on Netflix internationally beginning in 2025.

"This deal is transformative," said Mark Shapiro, TKO President and COO. "It marries the can't-miss WWE product with Netflix's extraordinary global reach and locks in significant and predictable economics for many years.

"Our partnership fundamentally alters and strengthens the media landscape, dramatically expands the reach of WWE, and brings weekly live appointment viewing to Netflix."

"We are excited to have WWE Raw, with its huge and passionate multigenerational fan base, on Netflix," said Netflix Chief Content Officer, Bela Bajaria.

"By combining our reach, recommendations, and fandom with WWE, we'll be able to deliver more joy and value for their audiences and our members.

"Raw is the best of sports entertainment, blending great characters and storytelling with live action 52 weeks a year and we're thrilled to be in this long-term partnership with WWE."

"In its relatively short history, Netflix has engineered a phenomenal track record for storytelling," said Nick Khan, WWE President.

"We believe Netflix, as one of the world's leading entertainment brands, is the ideal long-term home for Raw's live, loyal, and ever-growing fan base."

With 1600 episodes to date, Raw is the most iconic show in sports entertainment. Since its debut in 1993, Raw has delivered action, compelling drama and unmatched athleticism - 52 weeks a year.

Blending the best of scripted content with unpredictable live entertainment, the three-hour show has helped launch the careers of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Triple H, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Bianca Belair and Charlotte Flair.

The show is currently the No. 1 show on USA Network, where it brings in 17.5 million unique viewers over the course of the year.

One of television's best performing shows in the 18-49 advertising demographic, Raw trends on X 52 weeks a year while each new episode is airing. On social media, WWE has more than one billion followers across its platforms.
