WWE Premium Live Events like WWE SummerSlam 2025 are exclusively streamed on Peacock in the United States. They are included in both the Premium and ad-free Premium Plus tiers of the streaming service.

However, even if you’re subscribed to the ad-free option, it won’t make a difference since commercials are still included in live WWE productions.

Peacock plans start at $7.99 per month, and the annual Peacock plan is $79.99, which essentially gives you two months free.

Subscribed to Peacock but traveling over the weekend? You can use a VPN such as NordVPN to access your domestic streaming services from anywhere.

Peacock

In addition to the WWE live streams, Peacock also has huge library of licensed content drawn from various brands. That includes the soon returning Premier League and shows such as "Love Island USA," "The Office," "Law and Order: SVU and "Real Housewives" and movies like "Oppenheimer."

The first-ever two-day WWE SummerSlam 2025 is now upon us, with a huge 12-match card put together across those days.

To run through SummerSlam Night 1, the biggest title bout sees CM Punk challenging Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, with the Second City Saint having earned that opportunity by winning a gauntlet match.

For the biggest women's match on SummerSlam Saturday, it's Tiffany Stratton defending the WWE Women's Championship against Jade Cargill. Whereas Punk won a gauntlet to get his SummerSlam spot, Cargill got here by winning the Queen of the Ring tournament.

Even bigger than any title match in the eyes of some fans, of course, is the huge tag team match that pits Roman Reigns and Jey Uso against Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed. In fact, in some online corners, there are rumblings that this contest may actually close out Saturday in the main event spot.

The one other title bout on Saturday has the Judgment Day duo of Raquel Rodriguez and Roxanne Perez putting their WWE Women's Tag Team Championships on the line against the friends-but-not-friends pairing of Alexa Bliss and Charlotte Flair.

Rounding out Night 1, Karrion Kross and Sami Zayn continue their ever-growing rivalry, while we also have the mainstream-piercing tag bout of Randy Orton and Grammy-nominated musician Jelly squaring off with Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul.

Where Night 2 of WWE SummerSlam 2025 is concerned, the main event attraction there is Cody Rhodes looking to regain the WWE Championship from John Cena. Much like Jade Cargill, the American Nightmare earned this shot thanks to winning the King of the Ring last month, with Cena vs. Rhodes being a WrestleMania 41 rematch... just with Street Fight rules in place this time out.

That Cody and Cena match is just one of six title matches on SummerSlam Sunday, though, with many fans hugely looking forward to the triple-threat that sees Naomi defend the WWE Women's World Championship against Rhea Ripley and Iyo Sky.

Elsewhere, Solo Sikoa puts his United States title on the line against former champ Jacob Fatu in a steel cage; AJ Styles finally gets his hand on Intercontinental Champion Dominik Mysterio; Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria again lock horns for Becky's Women's Intercontinental Championship; and then there's the small matter of a crammed six-team TLC match where the Wyatt Sicks' Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis defend against the Street Profits, Motor City Machine Guns, DIY, Fraxiom, and Andrade and Rey Fenix.
