Disney+ Adds Multiple WWE Premium Live Events For Limited Time

This weekend, the WWE will be heading to Chicago for the “Elimination Chamber” event, which is one of the major steps on the road to Wrestlemania.

During the run-up to the event, World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk will be one of many daily WWE Superstar appearances across ESPN platforms. An ESPN Elimination Chamber Preview Special will also air on ESPN2 on February 26th 2026.

The Road to WrestleMania continues as ESPN provides comprehensive coverage of WWE Elimination Chamber on Saturday, 28th February 2026, at 7 p.m. ET from the United Centre in Chicago, Ill. Elimination Chamber, as well as the pre-event and post-event shows, are exclusively available to fans in the U.S. with a subscription to the ESPN Unlimited plan — either directly or through a traditional pay TV package — on the ESPN App.

Additionally, it has been announced that the Elimination Chamber pre-event show will also stream on Disney+ in the United States.  It’s also been announced that all WWE Premium Live Events previously streamed by ESPN, including last year’s Wrestlepalooza, Crown Jewel, Survivor Series: WarGames, and the 2026 Royal Rumble, are now available on Disney+ through March 2nd 2026.

Here are some of the ESPN highlights:

• Daily WWE Superstar appearances across ESPN platforms during the week of February 23, including SportsCenter, Get Up, First Take and Unsportsmanlike. Appearances by CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, LA Knight, Becky Lynch, AJ Lee, Jey Uso, Finn Balor, Trick Williams, Tiffany Stratton, Charlotte Flair and Je’Von Evans.
• ESPN’s No-Contest Wrestling Podcast, starring O’Shea Jackson, Jr. and TJ Jefferson, recently had 17-time WWE Champion John Cena as a special guest. 
• ESPN Social to have on-site presence at Elimination Chamber, delivering custom video edits, real-time results and original content with WWE Superstars across ESPN, SportsCenter and ESPN Ringside platforms.
• ESPN Radio’s Hall of Fame Countdown to Elimination Chamber airs from 6–8 p.m. ET on Saturday, February 28. WWE Hall of Famer Booker T and ESPN Radio’s Brad Gilmore, who will break down the full match card and provide instant reaction to the premium live event.
• Match previews, breakdowns and in-depth analysis within SportsCenter from Joe Fortenbaugh and Arda Ocal.

Roger’s Take:  Disney has spent a lot of money on the rights to stream WWE Premium Live Events and while the main aim is to push ESPN subscriptions, it also does make sense to try to use Disney+ as a platform to encourage more signups, especially as you can watch the upcoming “Elimination Chamber” event in Disney+ via the ESPN hub with a Unlimited subscription.   With the lines between Disney’s streaming services blurring, this feels like a natural promotional opportunity, and it gives Disney+ subscribers something very different to watch.
