Premier League Kicks Off to Most-Watched Opening Weekend Ever on NBC Sports
Back of the net! NBC Sports is knee-sliding towards the corner flag as the opening weekend of the 2025-26 English Premier League season was the most-watched ever in the U.S. According to data from Nielsen and Adobe Analytics, the Premier League opening weekend averaged 850,000 viewers across six matches aired live on NBC/Peacock, USA Network and NBC Sports' digital platforms (in the period Aug. 15-17). The figure is up 4 percent from the 820,000 viewers from the 2024-25 season.

Once Telemundo's Spanish-language coverage is included, the United-Arsenal game boasted an audience of 2.3 million, just behind the 2.6 million Spanish-language inclusive audience for that March 2024 City-Arsenal game. Since securing a $2.7 billion six-year extension to its U.S. rights deal, the Premier League continues to be a huge success for NBCUniversal, driving subscriptions to Peacock, and seeing solid and growing audiences for the company across broadcast, streaming and digital.

Everything You Need To Know About WWE's New Deal With ESPN
WWE announced a new deal this morning with ESPN that will see the company's premium live events move to the ESPN app in 2026. But what does that mean for you? This morning, ESPN announced a direct-to-consumer streaming service app. The app will launch on August 21 and cost $29.99 a month. But what does all of this mean for WWE premium live events in 2026? If you're in the United States, all WWE PLEs will move to the ESPN app for the next five years. Select premium live events will even air on ESPN's cable channel. This is an excessive price hike compared to what fans are used to paying on Peacock. But if you already have ESPN through any traditional TV provider (cable, satellite, YouTube TV, etc.), you'll be able to authenticate that with the app and get this for no additional charge. WWE is making bank on this deal as well. Their deal with ESPN for the next five years is worth $325 million compared to the $180 million Peacock paid previously. What happens to the WWE archives? With all WWE content scheduled to leave Peacock in 2026, many want to know what that means for the company's archive of events. Well, we have a confusing update on that as well. According to Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp (via Fightful Select), when asked about the status of the WWE archives, he wasn't given a firm answer. But it was teased to him that WWE's advanced relationship with Google could eventually see their archives live on YouTube. If you're outside of the United States (or you have a VPN), this news means very little to you. All WWE programming will continue to air on Netflix internationally, including their premium live events. Stay tuned to WrestleZone for more information on WWE's new deal with ESPN as it becomes available.

Report: WWE Signs New Multi-Year Deal With Peacock
Even though WWE is moving its PLEs to ESPN later this year, the company isn't severing its relationship with Peacock. According to a new report from Sports Business Journal, Peacock and WWE have reached a new, multi-year deal that will see WWE airing four Saturday Night Main Event programs annually on the platform. As a result of the deal, Peacock will be the home of a newly announced SNME on November 1, 2025, and December 13. The December show is referred to in the report as John Cena's final match in WWE. Should that be true, this gives Peacock one of the biggest shows of the year. WWE's library of programming will also remain on Peacock through the end of the year. NXT premium live events will also stay on the platform through March 2026. The news comes following WWE's official announcement that it had partnered with ESPN for a new, multi-year deal. WWE and ESPN's deal will see all WWE PLEs air on ESPN's app for the next five years. As for the future of WWE's archived content, that remains up in the air. ESPN is reportedly interested in it, but no official news has been announced. READ MORE: The post Report: WWE Signs New Multi-Year Deal With Peacock appeared first on Wrestlezone.
