Sunday Night’s Main Event: Start Time, Streaming, and Match Card
I checked WWE, Peacock, and the venue’s official listings to sort out when Sunday Night’s Main Event streams and what is on the announced card.
Why I looked this up
I noticed people searching for “Sunday Night Main Event,” along with questions about Cody Rhodes, the start time, and where to watch. The similar names—Sunday Night’s Main Event and Saturday Night’s Main Event—made the basic details less obvious than I expected, so I went directly to the current WWE, Peacock, and venue listings.
The key details
WWE’s official preview schedules Sunday Night’s Main Event for Sunday, September 6, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT. It says viewers in the United States can stream the show on Peacock, while YouTube is the platform listed for international viewers.
Peacock’s official WWE page separately identifies the September 6 event as a Peacock stream. For someone watching in the United States, that makes Peacock—not the international YouTube stream—the relevant destination.
The show is scheduled from State Farm Arena in Atlanta. The arena’s event listing gives a 7:30 p.m. event time and says doors open at 6:00 p.m. Those are the venue’s posted times; WWE separately lists the broadcast for 8:00 p.m. ET.
Here is the distinction I would keep in mind:
| What I am checking | Official listing |
|---|---|
| U.S. stream | Peacock |
| WWE broadcast time | 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT on September 6 |
| Venue | State Farm Arena in Atlanta |
| Arena event time | 7:30 p.m. |
| Arena doors | 6:00 p.m. |
I would use WWE’s time when deciding when to watch and the arena page’s schedule when dealing with in-person admission. The official pages present those as separate listings, so I would not treat the arena’s 7:30 p.m. time as the streaming start.
What is on the announced card
The WWE preview lists Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton among the featured matches. It also lists Oba Femi vs. Bron Breakker; Baron Corbin vs. Lil Yachty; and Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and Tatum Paxley vs. Jade Cargill, Michin, and B-Fab. WWE also says Quavo is scheduled to open the show.
One stipulation stood out to me: WWE says that if Lil Yachty lasts five minutes against Baron Corbin, Trick Williams receives a United States Championship rematch that same night. That makes the five-minute condition useful context rather than just another name on the card.
What I found after digging further
My practical checklist ended up being short:
- Confirm the date as Sunday, September 6, 2026.
- Use 8:00 p.m. ET as the WWE-listed broadcast time.
- Use Peacock for the U.S. stream.
- Treat the arena’s 7:30 p.m. event time and 6:00 p.m. door time as in-person information.
- Check WWE’s event page for the announced card rather than relying on search phrases or discovery feeds.
The main thing I learned is that the similarly named event and the different venue and broadcast times are easier to understand once each question is matched to the official page responsible for it.
