It's been rumoured for months now but Sportsnet made it official today - starting on January 1 Sportsnet will no longer be carrying WWE programming.
from slamwrestling.net:
Canadian WWE fans will have to go elsewhere for their WWE fix come 2025.
SportsNet is sending subscribers text alerts today stating they will no longer have the rights to any of the programming or WWE Network content on January 1st, 2025.
“We wanted to let you know that effective January 1st, 2025, your WWE Network pass on SportsNet+ will no longer be available, as SportsNet no longer holds the rights to this content. No action is required…You will not incur any charges after your last billing date in 2024. Your final charge will be pro-rated to reflect the December 31st, 2024, end date,” states the message.
There have been reports from Netflix Canada that the Network and WWE content will be available in January but there is a question about whether PLEs will be available on demand after airing live. Canadians who use or subscribe to a VPN service can, should be able to watch WWE on other versions of Netflix, Netflix from other countries if there is no Canadian Netflix deal. VPNs are not illegal in any way.
