WWE Saturday Night's Main Event (May 23): Full Card, Start Time & How to Watch Live
WWE Saturday Night's Main Event XLIV takes place this Saturday, May 23. The "XLIV" marks the 44th installment of the revived primetime special, a series that originally debuted in 1985 as part of WWE's historic partnership with NBC.
That legacy continues in a modern format. While WWE's premium live events now stream through ESPN Unlimited, Saturday Night's Main Event remains a separate property. In the United States, this edition will stream exclusively on Peacock.
WWE has announced four matches for the card, including three tag team bouts. That structure typically means more stars on screen and more entrances for the live crowd, even if the number of singles matches is limited. The lineup is evenly split between men's and women's divisions, anchored by a singles Intercontinental Championship match featuring one of WWE's fastest-rising stars.
Below is the full card, along with start time and streaming details.
