That will feature a panel of familiar faces discussing what happened on the last PLE stop on the road to WrestleMania 42, and talking to guests — usually Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque, and some of the PLE’s big winners. Night of Champions featured the crowning of a worthy King and Queen of the Ring, which mean that Oba Femi and IYO SKY are getting SummerSlam World title shots. Tiffany Stratton and Trick Williams are still the United States champions, and Seth Rollins stomped out his creation in a Steel Cage. Oh yeah, and some Syrian-Canadian guy won the WWE championship. Red-headed guy, talks a lot… his name escapes me. People online seem pretty excited about it. Anyway, maybe he’ll show up to talk to the panel in Riyadh? Much to discuss as we turn toward SummerSlam.

WWE’s Night of Champions premium live event goes live on ESPN today (May 31, 2026) at 1 p.m. Eastern — the first hour on the cable channel and its new subscription streaming platform; the remainder just on the latter. Or if you’re in most markets outside the U.S., the whole card will be on Netflix. Before anything happens in the ring at Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabi, WWE is serving up a free live stream of its Countdown show starting at 11 a.m. ET. Even though the formerly known as Kickoff shows get two hours leading into the main broadcast for every PLE, there aren’t matches on them any more. That means lots of excellent video packages, and even more sometimes entertaining and/or interesting commentary for a panel of hosts and wrestlers! Again it all starts at 11 a.m. Eastern, so if you’ll be watching, click play above and watch it at Cageside! You can also get complete results and live match coverage of Night of Champions from the one and only Claire Elizabeth by clicking here.

WWE will return to ESPN Unlimited in the United States — and Netflix everywhere else — today (Sat., June 27, 2026) with its Night of Champions premium live event, which comes our way Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for the second straight year! The event will feature Cody Rhodes once again defending his Undisputed WWE championship against Gunther, this time with Sami Zayn in the mix. We’ll also see Liv Morgan take on IYO SKY in the Queen of the Ring finals for a SummerSlam World title shot, and Oba Femi vs. Jey Uso for the same prize – and the King of the Ring crown. And those are only half of the star-studded matches booked for Saturday’s show at Kingdom Arena! Unless you’re in the Arabia Standard or East Africa time zones, Night of Champions will start streaming live at an unusual time. For those of in the U.S., the event will get rolling at 11 a.m. Eastern, 8 a.m. Pacific with the free Countdown show, which runs for two hours on WWE and ESPN’s online outlets, among other places. That leads right into the premium live event at 1 p.m. Eastern, 10 a.m. on the West Coast, and that will require an ESPN or Netflix subscription. The first hour of the show will be available on cable network ESPN, so that’s the only subscription you’ll need for the first match or two — regardless of whether their cable or satellite provider has worked things out to get you ESPN Unlimited for no additional cost (as ESPN & its parent company Disney have promised they eventually will). Watch along with us! And whether you do that or not, you can follow all our Night of Champions coverage whenever you watch the PLE!
