WWE fans in the United States will soon be paying more to watch the company’s premium live events. ESPN has confirmed a price increase for ESPN Unlimited, the service that exclusively carries WWE’s marquee events in the U.S.
The new pricing takes effect on September 17. The monthly plan will rise from $29.99 to $31.99, while the annual subscription jumps from $299.99 to $319.99. For monthly subscribers, that works out to an extra $24 over the course of a year.
The increase does not mean fans will be charged per event. Watching WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, Money in the Bank, and all other PLEs still requires access to ESPN Unlimited, whether through a direct subscription, a compatible bundle, or select TV providers.
There is one alternative that won’t be affected by this round of increases, at least for now. The bundles combining Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Unlimited remain listed at $35.99 per month for the ad-supported tier and $44.99 for the Premium tier. Disney has stated that the September bundle price hikes will apply to packages featuring ESPN Select, not those that include Unlimited.
The WWE and ESPN partnership launched on September 20, 2025, with Wrestlepalooza, ahead of a deal that was originally slated to begin in 2026. Since that transition, all of the company’s PLEs have been exclusive to the platform in the United States.
The first traditional WWE PLE following the price increase will be Money in the Bank on October 10 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
