Wrestlemania returns to Hollywood this weekend for two nights of mayhem. WWE’s biggest event of 2023 kicks off on Saturday, April 1, at 8:00 PM (ET).
The Wrestlemania 39 main event is the following night, Sunday, April 2, headlined by Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes battling for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Gunther, Logan Paul and many more WWE Superstars will also be on the marquee during the two-day spectacle.
So what if you’re outside the US at the beginning of April? You can watch Wrestlemania 39 worldwide by changing your IP address with a VPN. Here’s how:
- Subscribe to a stable VPN service, like Surfshark.
- Download and install the Surfshark app on whichever device (computer, mobile, tablet, etc.) you want to watch Wrestlemania on.
- Log into the VPN app with the credentials you used when signing up.
- Connect to a US server.
- Open Peacock TV, and get a subscription there if you don’t already have one. It’s just $4.99 per month to watch WWE premium events.
- Tune into Wrestlemania 39 at 8:00 PM (ET), on April 1 and 2.
Keep reading for a thorough guide on how to watch, and a breakdown of what you can expect from Wrestlemania 39.
Wrestlemania 39 will probably go on to be one of WWE’s most successful events ever. Wrestlemania: Goes Hollywood — as it’s also called — broke the promotion’s record for ticket sales. It sold over 90,000 tickets within the first 24 hours of being put on sale.
And it’s not hard to see why. The storylines are some of the best we’ve seen from the WWE in recent years. Roman Reigns wrestles Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, Rhea Ripley takes on Charlotte Flair for the Women’s Smackdown Championship, Brock Lesnar clashes with Omos, and John Cena returns in an attempt to bury U.S. Champion Austin Theory.
That’s just barely scratching the surface. The Usos are putting their record-setting tag team title run up against the newly-reunited Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens, while Seth Rollins settles some bad blood with Logan Paul.
This is one wrestling fans can’t afford to miss. The cheapest and simplest way to stream Wrestlemania 39 is with Peacock TV.
But unfortunately, it won’t be available worldwide. There will be geographical restrictions in place to limit who can watch the event. If you want to get around them, you’ll need a virtual private network (VPN).
How to Watch Wrestlemania 39 Worldwide
There are multiple platforms streaming Wrestlemania 39 on April 1 and 2. While the WWE Network is the most popular choice worldwide, at $9.99 per month, it’s not the cheapest place to watch Wrestlemania.
Peacock costs about $5 per month for a premium subscription but is only available in the U.S.
But don’t worry, if you’re traveling or working abroad, you can still watch it! You’ll just need a virtual private network (VPN) to change your IP address. Your new virtual location lets you access the Peacock player from the U.S. no matter where you are in the world.
If you’re not sure how to do it, we’ll provide a step-by-step guide below.
How to watch Wrestlemania 2023 from anywhere, step-by-step
Changing your IP address might sound complicated, but you’ll only have to download an app and press a few buttons. Modern VPNs are very user-friendly, especially well-designed apps like Surfshark. Here’s what you’ll have to do to watch Wrestlemania 39 on Peacock worldwide:
- Sign-up for a reliable VPN provider. According to our tests, Surfshark is one of the best options to unblock Peacock and stream WWE events with no buffering.
- Download and install the Surfshark app. It’s available for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and even some smart TVs. Just pick whichever device you want to watch Wrestlemania Goes Hollywood on.
- Log into the VPN app with the email you used to subscribe.
- Pick a server in the US. You’ll know you’re connected when you see the message “Protected. Your connection is safe.”
- Open Peacock TV on whatever device you want to watch from.
- Tune into Wrestlemania 39 on April 1 and 2! If you’re having trouble, try using a privacy-friendly browser like Mozilla. Or opening new private or incognito windows.
Free streams for Wrestlemania 39
Good free streams for sports entertainment events getting rarer these days. You can’t know for sure if a platform will stream an event, you can’t know how safe an unofficial platform is, and you can’t expect high video quality if you’re not paying for an event.
Not to mention, even if you find the perfect stream for free, it might be taken down in the middle of Wrestlemania 39.
That’s why we always recommend using a paid stream. Whether you go for Peacock or the WWE Network, make sure you have a verified ticket for the event before April 1 (or March 31 if you want to watch the WWE Hall of Fame as well).

Can You Watch Wrestlemania 39 with a Free VPN?
You can watch Wrestelamania 39 with a free VPN. But we advise against it. Free VPNs have a lot of limitations, which can make it difficult, or sometimes impossible, to unblock geo-restricted content. Here’s why:
- Laggy stream: Free VPNs have limited bandwidth, which will lead to a lot of buffering and low-quality video. This is especially true when watching lengthy and popular events, as the small servers can be stretched thin.
- Limited server network: Free VPNs usually only let you use 2-3 servers. That’s not enough to circumvent geo-restrictions, as the few IPs of the VPN will likely get flagged and blocked by platforms like Peacock.
- Data caps: Free VPNs don’t let you use their servers forever. Most of them have strict data caps (around 500 MB per day to a few GB per month), which is not enough to enjoy Wrestlemania 39 in its entirety. You might get an hour at most, but you’ll certainly be out of lucky for both nights.
Wrestlemania 39: Everything You Need to Know
Wrestlemania is one of the “Big Five” WWE events, and the 39th edition promises to live up to the amazing standard set by Triple H and his creative team have set up this past year.
The event will be held with WWE’s Raw and Smackdown divisions and will be stretched over 2 nights, on Saturday and Sunday, April 1 and 2, 2023.
Wrestlemania 39 Goes Hollywood will take place at the SoFi Stadium in Great Los Angeles, California and kicks off at 8:00 PM (ET). But viewers from around the world can tune into the PPV event via Peacock, The WWE Network, Binge and more.
So who will be scrapping? Headlining the event is a title fight between Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns, for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship. Roman Reigns has dominated the WWE in the past years, holding the Universal Champion title for over 940 days. Meanwhile, Cody Rhodes had a spectacular return to the promotion from a pectoral injury and earned his slot at Wrestlemania following a Royal Rumble victory. The fight will take place on the second night, and whether or not Reigns loses his title is bound to keep fans on the edge of their seat.
But that’s not the only match to look forward to. Rhea Ripley will take on Charlotte Flair for the WWE Smackdown Women’s Championship, Bianca Belair will also defend her Raw Women’s belt against Asuka, and United States Champion Austin Theory will take on the legendary John Cena.
Brock Lesnar will collide with the Nigerian Giant, Omos, while Logan Paul and Seth “Freakin” Rollins will settle their longstanding beef. Anyone can get pinned when WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther defends his title in a Triple Threat Match against Sheamus and Drew McIntyre. Of course, many more headliners will make an appearance at Wrestlemania 39.
