You don’t need cable to watch WWE NXT. I stream NXT live every Tuesday on USA Network using Hulu + Live TV, but Sling, DIRECT STREAM, fubo, and YouTube TV also carry USA. Read on to learn how I stream NXT live every week and how to watch all 17 seasons of NXT on-demand.

How To Stream WWE NXT Live Every Week: NXT airs live on USA Network every Tuesday at 8:00 PM Eastern time by using a free trial to any of the following services that carry USA Network:

  • DIRECTV STREAM– offers a 5-day-free trial
  • fuboTV – provides a 1-week free trial
  • YouTube TV –  offers a 1-week free trial
  • Sling (Blue Plan) – It doesn’t provide a free trial but is the cheapest at $40 per month, and it’s 50% off your first month.
  • Hulu + Live TV – You can also watch NXT live on Hulu + Live TV.

Watch WWE NXT On-Demand: All 17 seasons of WWE NXT are available on-demand on Peacock, along with every season of Raw and SmackDown.
