WWE Revenue Drops 1% In Q3 2026

TKO released its third quarter 2026 financial results. WWE revenue declined by one percent from the same period in the previous year.

The revenue total reached 399.3 million dollars. This figure reflects a decrease of 2.8 million dollars compared to the prior year.

Live events and hospitality revenue fell by 24.8 million dollars. The drop stemmed mainly from lower ticket sales due to the scheduling mix of events and reduced SummerSlam sales.

Three fewer main roster premium live events contributed to the live events revenue decline. This factor also affected other segments but was offset by gains elsewhere.

Partnerships and marketing revenue rose by 11.1 million dollars. The increase came from new partners and higher renewal fees despite the reduced number of premium live events.

Media rights, production and content revenue grew by 6.9 million dollars. Higher media rights fees, including the effect of a new ESPN distribution agreement that started in September 2025, drove the gain.

Consumer products licensing and other revenue increased by 4.0 million dollars. The rise was linked to stronger sales of WWE-branded products such as video games and trading cards.
