WWE Raw on Netflix: Special Start Times (Jan 12 + Jan 19, 2026)
If you’re used to turning on WWE Raw on Netflix at its usual Monday-night time, heads up: the next two episodes have special start times because Raw is going international. Here’s the full breakdown for Jan 12 (Germany) and Jan 19 (Belfast), plus a few quick tips so you don’t miss the opening bell.
WWE Raw on Netflix start time: Jan 12 & Jan 19 (2026)

These early-afternoon U.S. start times are the big difference. If you normally watch Raw at night, you’ll want a calendar reminder (or you’ll open Netflix mid-show wondering what you missed).
A quick video recap while you wait
If you want a quick refresher on the “Raw on Netflix” era (and what the vibe has been like on the streamer), this YouTube embed pulls up a live list of related videos:
Jan 12, 2026 (Düsseldorf, Germany): why it’s starting early
The Jan 12 episode streams from Düsseldorf, Germany, which is why Netflix is shifting the U.S. start time earlier than usual. The headline is simple: 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET.
One big reason fans are excited for this episode is the “first-time-ever” feel that WWE often brings to international TV dates—loud crowds, different energy, and cards that can move storylines quickly on the road to the Royal Rumble.
Tip: If you’re at work or in class during the stream, consider planning a “no spoilers” window and watching the replay later. The early start time is awesome, but it can also sneak up on you.
Jan 19, 2026 (Belfast, Northern Ireland): another special start time
The following week, Raw heads to Belfast, Northern Ireland with another schedule change: 3 p.m. ET (that’s 12 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. GMT).
For U.S. viewers, it’s basically a “midday Raw” situation—great if you can watch live, tricky if you’re busy. For fans in the UK and Ireland, it’s a rare “watch at a normal hour” Monday night.
How WWE and Netflix built the “Raw goes live anywhere” system
The biggest practical change with Raw on Netflix is that streaming makes it much easier to present the show live globally, even when the venue is outside the U.S. That’s why international episodes can move to afternoon start times in North America instead of waiting for a traditional 8 p.m. ET cable slot.
The upside: you’re watching the show in real time as it happens in the arena. The downside: you have to treat the schedule like a live sports event—because sometimes it basically is.

How to watch WWE Raw on Netflix (live + replay)
- Go live: Open Netflix around 10–15 minutes early so you’re not troubleshooting at the bell.
- Look for the live listing: Raw should appear as a live event when it’s streaming.
- Replay: If you miss the live stream, check the Raw title page later for the on-demand version.
- Turn off spoilers: Consider muting wrestling keywords on social apps if you can’t watch live.
If you only remember one thing: on Jan 12 and Jan 19, Raw is not “tonight.” It’s this afternoon (in the U.S.).
