According to Netflix’s bi-annual What We Watched report, WWE programming generated nearly 149 million global views and more than 327 million hours viewed on the streaming service during the first half of 2026.

The report included 252 WWE entries, consisting of RAW, SmackDown, NXT (outside the U.S.), and premium live events. The January 5th and April 20th editions of RAW tied as the most-watched WWE programs with 3.7 million views each. RAW occupied the top 16 spots and 22 of the top 25 most-viewed WWE entries.

The only non-RAW programs in the top 25 were the Royal Rumble (3.1 million views), WrestleMania 42 Sunday (3 million), and Season 2 of WWE Unreal (2.8 million). Other premium live event viewership included WrestleMania 42 Saturday (2.7 million), Elimination Chamber (1.9 million), Clash in Italy (1.6 million), Backlash (1.4 million), and Night of Champions (1 million). The Netflix viewership figures for WWE’s PLEs do not include United States viewers, as those events aired on ESPN in the U.S. during 2026.

Netflix’s most-watched program worldwide during the first half of 2026 was the limited series His & Hers, which recorded 104 million views.
