The excitement surrounding the WWE Royal Rumble 2025 is palpable as fans eagerly anticipate one of the marquee events on the wrestling calendar, set to take place at the iconic Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana. Scheduled for Saturday, February 1, this year’s Royal Rumble promises high-stakes matchups, including two thrilling 30-superstar over-the-top-rope elimination battles.
One of the most noteworthy aspects of this year’s Rumble is the lineup of superstars expected to participate. Heavyweights like John Cena, Roman Reigns, and CM Punk will compete alongside women wrestling icons such as Charlotte Flair. The stakes couldn't be higher, as both the men's and women's winners will earn coveted spots headlining WrestleMania later this year at Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas.
The format of the Royal Rumble itself is intense. The match begins with two superstars already inside the ring, and every 90 seconds, another competitor joins the fray. To secure victory, participants must eliminate their opponents by tossing them over the top rope, ensuring both feet touch the floor outside. This continues until only one competitor remains, claiming the victory and the guaranteed World Championship match at WrestleMania.
To catch all the action live, tune in to Peacock, which remains the exclusive streaming platform for WWE Premium Live Events within the United States. The main event will commence at 8 PM ET, following the kickoff show starting at 7 PM ET. New subscribers can benefit from Peacock’s 7-day free trial, simply by signing up prior to the event—just be sure to cancel to avoid automatic charges post-event.

Program availability varies by region, so fans should check their local listings—including TNT Sports or BT Sport for viewers from the UK, Sportsnet for Canadian fans, and Sony Sports Network for those located in India, where the Royal Rumble is set to broadcast live.
