Netflix had begun sending notice to various consumers in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Africa informing them about the inclusion on WWE and it goes as follows:

Beginning April 1, 2026, Netflix will be the new exclusive home of WWE in your region.

Netflix brings WWE's electrifying content all to one place, including weekly shows, RAW, SmackDown and NXT, PLUS Premium Live Events (PLEs) such as WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, and SummerSlam.

Many of WWE's top moments, along with historic PLEs and select programming, are available on Netflix, including WrestleMania 42, which emanate live from Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19. Don't miss the "Best in the World" CM Punk as he goes head-to-head against "The OTC" Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship.

If you're a Netflix subscriber, you're all set. If you are not a Netflix subscriber, you will need to subscribe so you don't miss a moment. We can't wait for you to experience WWE on Netflix.

For sometime, BILD and ProSieben MAXX served as the right holders for these events in Germany, Switzerland and Austria with SuperSport in Africa. This announcement means that these events will no longer be accessible on those outlets. 

However, we're still awaiting further comment from SuperSport about WWE's early induction onto Netflix. As the current deal, MultiChoice has with WWE was only set to expire in 2027.

After Canal+ acquired MultiChoice in 2025, Canal Afrique consumers gained access to SuperSport's expanded sports offering. This included Raw, SmackDown, NXT and premium events like Royal Rumble on the 24 hour WWE channel.

It could be that SuperSport (for now) still holds linear rights to the WWE as they never enforced those onto Showmax. Another could be that under Canal+, they opted to scrap the carriage deal as part of their cost cutting endeavours.

Rumour: Disney XD To Become Disney Jr. In Poland

Since last year, Disney had begun reviving some of its linear operations in some parts of the world with the relaunch of Disney Jr. in the UK and Italy. Now it looks like Disney Junior will be widening it's reach as it's alleged to replace Disney XD in April.

As seen on the Polish website Naziemna, Disney XD's schedule has now been piled up with Disney Jr. programming like Marvel's Spidey And His Amazing Friends and Disney Jr's Ariel. While the rebrand has yet to be confirmed it wouldn't come as a shocker.

Disney XD's carriage has declined rapidly across the world as Disney was looking to consolidate most of its efforts under Disney+. This led not only to several Disney XD feeds from closing but that of Disney Channel and Disney Jr. as well.

Disney XD has been an afterthought for the company and moving aimlessly with very little content investment. This led the company to launch Disney Jr. in place of the brand as they continue to expand the slate of preschool content.

Disney XD's demise in Poland is inevitable at this point and it's closure would bring the end to the brand's international footprint. As this was the last remaining international market to offer Disney XD while others closed or folded under Disney Jr.

Unlike most feeds, Disney XD served as a joint venture between Disney and AMC Networks International and could continue operating under that structure with Disney Jr. As shows like Big City Greens and Gravity Falls move to Disney Channel.
