Tonight, Tuesday, August 18, 2026, there is no new live episode of WWE Monday Night Raw. Raw normally streams live on Mondays at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on Netflix. The latest listed episode aired Monday, August 17, from KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York.
When does Monday Night Raw normally start?
For the regular U.S. schedule, WWE Raw is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. Eastern on Mondays. That is 7 p.m. Central, 6 p.m. Mountain and 5 p.m. Pacific.
| U.S. time zone | Regular start |
|---|---|
| Eastern | 8 p.m. ET |
| Central | 7 p.m. CT |
| Mountain | 6 p.m. MT |
| Pacific | 5 p.m. PT |
Those times come from WWE’s general show schedule and Netflix’s viewing guide. A live program is scheduled for that time, but app loading, network latency or a platform delay can affect when a particular device displays the first frame.
Where to stream Raw
In the United States, Netflix is the listed home of live Raw. Open Netflix on a supported smart TV, streaming device, game console, phone, tablet or web browser, then search for Raw or select the live listing from the home screen. Netflix’s official Raw page links to the title and account options.

Netflix became the exclusive U.S. home of Raw on January 6, 2025, according to Netflix Tudum. You need an active Netflix account and plan; there is no separate WWE pay-per-view purchase for the regular live show.
Does every Netflix plan include Raw?
Netflix says live events including Raw are included with a Netflix plan at no additional WWE-specific charge. The U.S. prices displayed on Netflix’s official Raw page on August 18, 2026 were:
Rank #2
- In 1995, two wrestling companies squared off on Monday night television to compete head to head in an unprecedented confrontation. On one side, Vince McMahon, the promoter who created WWE and made the industry what it is today. On the other, WCW, owned by media giant Ted Turner, and run by an ambitious man named Eric Bischoff. This is the whole story, told by those who created it, lived it, and
| Plan shown | Displayed U.S. price | Important qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Standard with ads | $8.99 per month | Ad-supported tier |
| Standard | $19.99 per month | Price can change |
| Premium | $26.99 per month | Price can change |
Netflix can change prices, taxes, billing terms or plan availability, so verify the amount at the signup page. Raw is included in the plan, but the ad-supported tier remains ad-supported; it is not an ad-free WWE stream. No particular tier is identified as mandatory for Raw.
Can you watch the episode after it airs?
Yes. Netflix says episodes are available on demand after the live stream. If the replay is not visible immediately, reopen or refresh the Raw title page; processing and device caching can cause a short delay. This is different from the live listing, which appears at the scheduled start time.
Is Raw available on Netflix outside the United States?
Rights vary by territory. Netflix identifies the United States and several U.S. territories—including Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia and Palau—as markets where it is the exclusive home of Raw. WWE says Netflix carries Raw and other programming in most regions, but the platform is not identical worldwide. Check your local Netflix WWE listing or WWE’s regional how-to-watch guide before relying on the U.S. schedule.
What to do if the live listing does not appear
- Confirm that the device is connected to the internet.
- Close and reopen Netflix.
- Search directly for Raw instead of relying only on the home-screen carousel.
- Set the device’s date, time and time zone to update automatically.
- Install available Netflix-app and device-software updates.
- Try Netflix in a browser or on another supported device.
- Check Netflix’s service-status and help resources.
- If the event is already underway, refresh the title page after a short delay.
Netflix’s live-events guidance also describes a Remind Me feature where supported. Menus and controls can differ among TVs, consoles, browsers and mobile apps.
Why one WWE page shows 7:30 p.m.
The official listing for the August 17 Buffalo event shows 7:30 p.m. on its event page. That field appears to be a venue or event-listing time, not the Netflix broadcast start. For viewers deciding when to open Netflix, the authoritative schedule is WWE and Netflix’s regular 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT live time. See the WWE event page and WWE show schedule.

WWE’s schedule lists SmackDown on Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on USA and NXT on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on The CW. Their U.S. homes are not automatically Netflix, and other WWE events vary by region and platform. Check each program’s current listing rather than assuming all WWE broadcasts share Raw’s destination.
Schedule caveat
Holiday episodes, international events and other specials can move Raw from its normal Monday slot. The official WWE schedule confirms the regular pattern but does not establish a confirmed August 24 episode in the sources available here, so check WWE or Netflix for the specific next-event listing.
The Bottom Line
Bottom line: There is no new Monday Night Raw live tonight, Tuesday, August 18, 2026. In the U.S., Raw normally starts Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Netflix, with an on-demand replay available after the stream.
