Is WWE NXT New Years Evil 2026 on TV? How to watch
Yes. WWE NXT New Years Evil 2026 airs on TV as a special live episode of NXT on The CW in the United States.
The event takes place Tuesday, January 6, 2026, and the live broadcast is scheduled for 8:00 PM ET (5:00 PM PT). That makes it a late-night watch in the UK at 1:00 AM GMT on Wednesday, January 7.
What channel is NXT New Years Evil 2026 on?
In the US, the answer is simple: The CW.
The CW is a broadcast network, so in many areas you can watch with a basic over the air antenna, or through cable and satellite TV packages that carry your local CW station. WWE’s long term deal makes The CW the official broadcast home for weekly NXT.
If you are unsure where The CW is in your area, use the channel guide in your TV provider or your local listings, because CW station numbers vary by market.
How to watch NXT New Years Evil 2026 live
To watch live, your best options are:
- Watch on The CW on television at 8:00 PM ET, Tuesday, January 6
- Use an antenna if you do not have cable but have strong local CW reception
Because this is airing as a live NXT special on The CW, think of it like any other weekly NXT broadcast, just with the New Years Evil branding and a bigger card.
Can you stream NXT New Years Evil 2026?
If you cannot watch live on TV, there is a key alternative: The CW’s streaming platforms.
New NXT episodes are available the following day on The CW App and cwtv.com, which is the simplest legal way to catch up without a cable login in many cases.
So, if you miss the live broadcast on Tuesday night, check the CW App or CW website on Wednesday.
Is NXT New Years Evil 2026 on Netflix or Peacock?
For US viewers, New Years Evil is positioned as a CW television special, not a Premium Live Event, so your primary home is still The CW and then CW streaming platforms.
For international viewers, coverage often differs. NXT airs either on the CW or via Netflix internationally, so Netflix may be the correct option outside the United States depending on your country.
