TKO Group President Mark Shapiro revealed that WWE and NBC Universal are interested in extending their current partnership, keeping WWE Premium Live Events (PLEs) on Peacock.
WWE’s domestic PLEs have been exclusively on Peacock since March 2021, along with their extensive library.
Speaking at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference, Shapiro confirmed that renewal discussions will begin next quarter, noting both parties are “keen” to maintain the agreement.
“We will get into discussions soon — in the next quarter — when it comes to the PLE’s. That deal comes up early to mid-part of 2026. Our conversations on our renewal start relatively soon. In speaking with all the powers at be at Comcast, they are keen to renew and we’re excited to have those conversations. And by the way, Peacock has been a crazy good partner, we’ve been a huge driver of that platform — both in terms of acquisition and retention — and they are making it a priority, so we’re keen to renew with them.”
Internationally, WWE content, including PLEs and library, moved to Netflix at the start of this year. Peacock Premium subscribers gain access to all WWE PLEs as part of their subscription, along with a wide range of other entertainment options available on the platform.
