WWE Saturday Night's Main Event: What Time Does It Start?

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Steven Harrison | Last updated May 23, 2026 2:30 PM ET

WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event airs tonight from Fort Wayne, Indiana, with a start time of 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT) in the United States. The event streams live on Peacock, continuing WWE’s longstanding partnership with NBCUniversal. Peacock subscriptions start at $5.99 per month (ad-supported) or $11.99 per month (ad-free), giving viewers access to WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event at no additional cost.

Tonight’s card is structured around volume and star power. Three of the five matches are tag bouts, and the women’s division is prominently featured across the show. That format suggests a fast-moving broadcast designed to keep the crowd engaged throughout, while also advancing key storylines just one week before Clash in Italy.

The lineup for tonight’s show includes:

Intercontinental Championship:Penta (c) vs. Ethan Page
World Tag Team Championship: The Vision (Logan Paul and Austin Theory) (c) vs. The Street Profits (Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins)
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship: Scream Mode (Brie Bella and Paige) (c) vs. The Irresistible Forces (Lash Legend and Nia Jax)
Six-Woman Tag Match:Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, and Alexa Bliss vs. Jade Cargill, B-Fab, and Michin
Non-Title Match: Becky Lynch (c) vs. Sol Ruca

While the show carries the nostalgic branding of Saturday Night’s Main Event, it also serves a clear purpose in WWE’s current calendar. With Clash in Italy approaching, expect developments that push rivalries forward rather than fully resolve them.

Is Saturday Night’s Main Event on Netflix or ESPN?

No. Saturday Night’s Main Event will stream exclusively on Peacock in the United States. Internationally, the event will stream on WWE’s official YouTube channel.
