NXT Showdown vs TNA Live Stream: How to watch
The long-anticipated NXT Showdown vs TNA crossover is set to shake up the wrestling world. Fans across the U.S. and internationally will be asking: how do I watch this live stream? In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know, from start time to streaming options, to make sure you don’t miss a moment of the action.
When & Where: NXT Showdown Details
NXT Showdown (also styled ShoWdown) is a special event co-produced by WWE and TNA, airing as an enhanced episode of NXT. The event takes place on October 7, 2025, at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
- U.S. broadcast begins at 5:00 PM PT / 8:00 PM ET
- In the UK, that means a live start time of 1:00 AM BST (October 8)
The event will air on The CW as a special edition of the weekly NXT show.
How to Watch the Live Stream
Here are your best options for streaming NXT Showdown vs TNA legally and reliably:
1. Through The CW / CW App
Because the show is packaged as a CW program, many viewers can access it through The CW’s official platform. This includes:
- The CW website or app (for eligible U.S. viewers)
- Cable/satellite providers that carry The CW
- Streaming services that include The CW in their lineup
If you’re in the U.S. and already get The CW through streaming (e.g. via a live TV streaming service), that should carry NXT Showdown live.
2. WWE / NXT Streaming Platforms
WWE’s streaming framework now routes much of its premium content — including NXT special events — through Netflix in many territories. In international markets, Netflix has become the go-to for WWE’s live specials and archive content.
So depending on where you live, Netflix may stream NXT Showdown live (or simultaneously) as part of its WWE/NXT coverage.
3. TNA+ / TNA’s Platform
TNA has its own streaming service, TNA+, that features live events and on-demand programming. While the main iMPACT! episodes are regularly streamed via TNA+ in the U.S., it’s not yet confirmed whether NXT Showdown will be available there. It’s worth checking TNA+ closer to the date.
4. Local & International Broadcasters
In some international markets, WWE/NXT content is licensed to local networks or streaming partners. For example:
- The UK and Ireland may lean on Netflix for WWE/NXT content.
