3…2…1… (buzzer)! Live from Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, it’s the WWE Royal Rumble!
The Triple H era has been a blast. The main event scene is thriving, the matches are fresh, the undercard and tag team divisions have been revitalized, and you never quite know what’s going to happen next. We’re officially on the Road to WrestleMania as we prepare for the 2024 Royal Rumble. Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns II and CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins seemed to be the plan for WrestleMania 40, but that was before The Rock’s recent return to Raw, Rollins’ unexpected knee injury, and Gunther’s potentially prophetic interaction with Seth on Monday night.
Will Cody finish his story at WrestleMania 40? Will the dream matchup between The Rock and Roman be held for another big event like SummerSlam or WrestleMania 41? Nobody knows the destination, but the journey has been fun as hell.
From start time to live stream info, here’s how to watch the 2024 Royal Rumble live online.
The kickoff show begins Saturday, January 28 at 7:00 p.m. ET on Peacock Premium, WWE.com, and various WWE social platforms. The main show starts at 8:00 p.m. ET.
The Royal Rumble will air on Peacock in the United States, which means you’ll only be able to watch the event with a subscription to Peacock Premium ($5.99/month or $59.99/year) or by purchasing the Royal Rumble through your cable provider. Peacock Premium Plus, which features fewer ads, is also available for $11.99/month or $119.99/year.
Nope. But Instacart+ now comes with a subscription to Peacock Premium at no extra cost (a $59.99/year value). Instacart+ is available for $99.00/year or $9.99/month, with members enjoying unlimited free delivery on orders of $35 or more.
Per Instacart, “your access to Peacock Premium will continue for so long as you remain an eligible Instacart+ member and while this offer remains available. You can activate the Peacock benefit via your Instacart account page or visit www.instacart.com/peacock.”
If you want to sample the service (and watch the Royal Rumble for free) Instacart+ also offers a 14-day free trial.
Nope. Beginning in January 2025, Netflix will be the new streaming home of WWE Raw in the United States. Premium Live Events will still stream on Peacock in the U.S. but will be available on Netflix internationally. But again, that’s 2025.
