Where to Watch Elimination Chamber 2026 (U.S. vs. International)
U.S.: ESPN streaming (how it works)

ESPN’s own event explainer adds that fans can watch in the ESPN App with an ESPN Unlimited plan, including access through ESPN’s WWE hub.
Practical tip that helps you not miss the bell: Open the ESPN App early, search “WWE” or “Elimination Chamber,” and set the event reminder so you’re not scrambling at 6:59 p.m. ET.
Outside the U.S.: Netflix (and WWE’s global partners)
WWE’s official preview notes that Elimination Chamber streams on Netflix everywhere else (outside the U.S.).
WWE also continues to point fans to its “How to Watch” options and regional partners (examples shown include Netflix, WWE Network access, Sony LIV, and Flow depending on market).
