Live events on Netflix: WWE wrestling, boxing, and more

Live events are included on all Netflix plans, allowing you to watch what everyone is talking about the moment it happens. Enjoy sports, comedy stand-ups, award shows, and other special events that stream live on Netflix. While watching, you can rewind, pause, play from the beginning, or jump to live at any point during the livestream. They can also be downloaded or watched after.

Note: Some events may be available to watch and download for a limited time after the livestream.

You can watch live on most newer mobile devices.

Make sure your device is running the latest version of the Netflix app to watch live.

If watching live isn't supported on your device, these events are available a few days later for you to watch anytime, like other titles.

Live events, special events or other new features may contain commercial breaks across all our plans. TV shows and movies that are not live are free of commercial breaks on ad-free experiences, but they may have other types of commercial content.

Following the end of a live event, commercial breaks will be removed on ad-free experiences.

Note: In some cases within ad-free experiences, ads may be present for a short amount of time after the event is live, but can be fast-forwarded through.

While signed into the Netflix app, tap the search icon search icon and type “live events” to see upcoming and recent events.

Use the Remind Me feature to get notified when a live event or episode is available. By setting a reminder, the title will also appear in the My List section on your device when it becomes available to watch live. You can also search for the title when it’s time to watch live or after the livestream.

Each live event may have limited audio and subtitle language availability during the livestream. After the event is live, additional audio and subtitle languages will be available (typically a few days after the livestream), just like other titles on Netflix.

Most newer devices are supported.

  • If you’re seeing a message that an app update is needed, you may also want to check that your operating system is up to date.

  • If you're getting a message that your device doesn’t support livestreaming, you’ll need to use a different device to watch live.

  • Casting or mirroring from a mobile device isn’t supported when watching live. You can still watch the livestream on your supported mobile device.

There are a small number of devices not listed above that don't support watching live. This is typically because the Netflix app or software on the device can't be updated to a version that supports livestreaming, or is no longer actively supported.

If you don’t have a supported device, live events will typically be made available a few days after the livestream to watch just like other titles on Netflix. You'll see a message that your device doesn't support livestreaming until then.

Note:The title won’t always be available immediately following the livestream if your profile language settings are different from the original language of the live event. Once subtitles are complete and available in your preferred viewing language, you’ll be able to watch.
