NXT TakeOver XXX's official start time is 7 p.m. ET, 4 p.m. PT today (Saturday, Aug. 22).
But there's more than just the main card. The kickoff show actually starts right now, at 6:30 p.m. ET due to a change of schedule. And you'll want to tune in to see the pretty-good match booked (see below).
It's almost time for the final TakeOver of the summer, as NXT TakeOver XXX live streams start soon. And this is quite a weird card, including a certain former NFL player's first wrestling match.
TakeOver XXX is headlined by NXT Champion Keith Lee defending his title against Karrion Kross, who will be accompanied by Scarlett. This is not Lee's first title defense, but it still feels far too soon for the Limitless One to drop the gold. That being said, Kross should put in a strong performance befitting the rocket that they strapped to his back.

If you tuned out of NXT TV since NXT's The Great American Bash special, Lee's other belt has been vacated and is on the line in a 5-way ladder match, where Bronson Reed (the former Jonah Rock) and Johnny Gargano are prominent challengers. Oh and since Velveteen Dream is now in this ladder match, this is a good time to remind you that AEW Dynamite live streams will be overlapping for the first hour of TakeOver XXX, since the NBA pre-empted AE-dub this week.
Elsewhere, we're hyped for Io Shirai's NXT title defense against Dakota Kai. Kai's not had a classic-level NXT match yet, and this should be her first.
Oh, and, yeah ... former NXT Champion Adam Cole is following the longest reign in brand history by fighting Pat McAfee, a former NFL punter. This should be ... something? I hope they find some way to entertain, as McAfee's not exactly impressed so far. Could McAfee replace Cole in the Undisputed Era? That'd be weird, especially because it stops them from calling the Era up to the main roster as a group.
The two most-recently added matches both look to possibly steal the show. Finn Balor vs Timothy Thatcher will be grappletastic on the main card, and the #1 contender's tag titles match between Legado Del Fantasma, Breezango and Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch should go back to classic NXT tag action.
Here's everything you need to watch the NXT TakeOver XXX live streams:

How to watch NXT TakeOver XXX live streams online with a VPN
While the WWE Network (more on that below) is widely available and quite affordable, if you’re away from home and logging into public Wi-Fi to stream the PPV (which I’ve done in the U.K., among other places), you might want to check out a VPN. You’re using that Wi-FI network to cut down on data usage, but it opens up any non-secured activity to snooping, and a virtual private network will hide your online activities from other people on the same Wi-Fi network.
The best VPN is ExpressVPN (opens in new tab). It meets the VPN needs of the vast majority of users, offering outstanding compatibility with most devices and impressive connection speeds.
