World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is bringing WrestleMania 42 to Las Vegas, Nevada, for a two-night live event [1, 2].
This event represents the pinnacle of the professional wrestling calendar, drawing millions of viewers globally and generating significant tourism revenue for the host city.
Fans can access the event through various streaming and broadcast services. According to CBS Sports, Night 1 will be available on ESPN2 via Fubo, while Night 2 will be available on ESPN via Fubo [1]. These broadcasting arrangements ensure that the event reaches a wide audience across different regional markets.
While some reports indicate that the event will be streamed via Fubo in the U.S. [1], other sources suggest that viewers in the UK may access the event through a Netflix live stream [4]. This discrepancy highlights the fragmented nature of international sports broadcasting rights, a common occurrence for major WWE events.
The two-night schedule is designed to maximize viewership and allow for a more expansive match card. By splitting the event across Saturday and Sunday, WWE can showcase a larger number of athletes and storylines without compromising the quality of the production.
Details regarding the full match card and specific start times for each night continue to be updated as the event approaches [2, 3]. The choice of Las Vegas as the venue places the event in a city known for large-scale entertainment spectacles, fitting the scale of the WrestleMania brand.

The shift toward diverse streaming partnerships, including Fubo and potentially Netflix, indicates WWE's strategy to move away from traditional linear cable reliance. By leveraging region-specific streaming deals, the company can scale its global reach while maximizing the licensing value of its flagship event.
