How to watch WWE Summerslam live streams from anywhere
You can use a VPN to watch Summerslam live if you don't live in a country with cable access or streaming plans that include WWE Network events. Peacock in the United States is the best option; just note you'll need to use a US-bound zip code and payment method.
If that won't work for you, Binge in Australia will also stream Summerslam, and you can try it free for 14 days. Canada's Sportsnet is another standalone streaming option accessible from anywhere with a VPN.
Don't have one? Give ExpressVPN a try. It's the best VPN we've tested, and many Insider staffers have used it for years. It's great for streaming from international sources and also strengthens your online security.

How to watch WWE Summerslam live streams in the US
WWE's premium live events (the newly preferred term for its pay-per-view events) stream live exclusively on NBC Peacock in the United States. Those in the US have it easy—head to Peacock and subscribe, with monthly plans starting at just $5.99.
This fee will get you ad-supported access to all live and on-demand content, including WWE Summerslam 2023. Peacock also has a vast backlog of WWE shows and events dating back to classic wrestling periods like the "Attitude Era" and "Golden Era."
How to watch WWE Summerslam in the UK
TNT Sports Box Office will show Summerslam in the UK via providers Sky, Virgin Media, and BT TV. To be clear, you won't be able to watch it via the standalone TNT Sports Box Office streaming service. And though Peacock is now available on Sky and NOW in the UK, you won't find WWE content there—it's exclusive to TNT Sports.
If you're purchasing the event through cable, it'll cost you a one-time charge of £19.95 on top of any other subscription costs. Most cable companies in the UK require you to order PPV events directly on your set-top box, so consult the FAQs at the TNT Sports website to learn how to subscribe through your provider of choice.
How to watch WWE Summerslam in Canada
Summerslam will stream over the WWE Network via Sportsnet in Canada. The channel is available on all major cable providers, but if you've cut the cord, you can subscribe to the standalone streaming component Sportsnet Now separately for the same cost (CAD$14.99 monthly). You'll gain access to this live event and other WWE content this way, but note that its library for older WWE content is minimal compared to Peacock in the US.
How to watch WWE Summerslam in Australia
Binge is the primary destination for Summerslam in Australia. Binge starts at AUD$10 per month, and new subscribers can start with a 14-day free trial.
