WWE’s biggest weekend of the year is almost here. 2022’s Wrestlemania events will take place in Dallas and Arlington, Texas on April 1-4, and like the previous two years, the Wrestlemania PPV will be a two-night extravaganza.
Because this PPV takes place on multiple nights, that means WWE can afford to pack the card. Among the bouts, we’ll see Roman Reigns take on Brock Lesnar, and both men will put their titles on the line in a unification match. That isn’t happening on the women’s side of things, though. For Smackdown, Charlotte Flair will defend her title against Royal Rumble winner Ronda Rousey. Meanwhile, over on Raw, Becky Lynch is being challenged by Bianca Belair. That’s not even half of what to expect on the show though. Check out the start times below to figure out when Wrestlemania airs near you.
Start time:
- 8 PM ET
- 7 PM CT
- 5 PM PT
- 1 AM BST (April 3, April 4)
- 10 AM AEST (April 3, April 4)
Typically, there’s a Kickoff Show which airs one hour prior to the main card. There, you’ll see at least one match take place. In the past, Wrestlemania–and a few other mainstay PPVs–had a two hour preshow, but that seems to be history now. WWE’s Wrestlemania Kickoff Show will air on Peacock, Twitter, and YouTube both days. However, Saturday’s Kickoff will also air live on the USA Network.
How to watch:
If you want to watch the main card for WWE’s Wrestlemania, you can purchase the event through your cable or satellite provider or watch it on Peacock. While Peacock has a free tier, you will not be able to watch the WWE event through that. You’ll need a Premium ($5 a month, with ads) or Premium Plus Peacock ($10 a month, no ads) account. Regardless of which tier you choose, there will be a few WWE-related ads throughout the show.
There are multiple ways to watch Peacock. Aside from watching it on mobile devices and on the PC, you can stream the service on Amazon Fire devices, Android TV, Apple TV, LG Smart TVs, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Roku, Samsung Smart TVs, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xfinity, and more.
Additionally, you can check out Wrestlemania at your local movie theater, as long as Fathom Events has it playing in a theater near you.
As of this writing, there are 12 matches on the card; however, these matches will be split across the two nights. As of this writing, all but one of the already confirmed matches has a place on either Night 1 or Night 2.
