The CW launches WWE NXT FAST channel
WWE NXT fans can now watch the product 24/7 as part of a new FAST channel from The CW.
Announced Wednesday night, the free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel featuring past NXT episodes is now available on both The CW app and online alongside CW channels, ION TV, movie networks and more. The channel is not available on FAST providers like Pluto, Tubi, The Roku Channel or others.
The channel is going week-by-week from their launch on The CW in October 2024 through the current day.
It’s the first foray for WWE content into the FAST space. Both TNA and the NWA (formerly of The CW) has a presence on several FAST providers including Pluto while WBD has yet to launch such a channel with AEW content.
WWE signed a five-year deal with The CW for weekly NXT TV that began in October 2024 for what has been estimated in the neighborhood of between $20-$25 million per year.
