Hosted by the legendary John Cena, the event marks a historic shift in WWE’s broadcasting history, serving as the first WrestleMania to be streamed on Netflix in international markets following the closure of the WWE Network.

Where To Watch WWE WrestleMania 42 in India?

Broadcasting rights for WrestleMania 42 have transitioned significantly this year. In the United Kingdom, India, and most other international territories, the entire event will be available exclusively via Netflix. In India, WWE WrestleMania 42 Night 1 will start at 3:30 AM IST on Sunday.

This follows the 10-year global partnership deal that officially integrated all WWE premium live events into the streaming platform earlier this month.

In the United States, the event will stream on the ESPN app (ESPN+ and ESPN Unlimited). In a first for the franchise, the opening hour of Night 1 will also be broadcast live on linear television via ESPN2, providing a 'free-to-air' window for cable subscribers before the show moves entirely to the streaming service. WWE WrestleMania 43 is Set to Take Place in Saudi Arabia in 2027, Announces CCO and Hall of Famer Triple H (Watch Video).
