WWE Night of Champions will stream in the U.S. exclusively on the ESPN App on Saturday, June 27, at 1 p.m. ET, emanating from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The Premium Live Event is available to fans with an ESPN Unlimited plan — either directly or through a traditional pay TV package.

The event will also feature the King of the Ring Final, as Oba Femi faces Jey Uso, and the Queen of the Ring Final, with IYO SKY taking on Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan. Both matches will air live on ESPN, with the winners earning championship opportunities at SummerSlam in August.
