The second night of action, look for even six more high-profile matches, including Roman Reigns defending his World Heavyweight Championship title belt against Seth Rollins, as well as more celebrity sightings in Minnesota.
Watch on DirectV
SummerSlam kicked off on Saturday (Aug. 1) and continues on Sunday (Aug. 2), beginning at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT each night. The two-night event takes place at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Grammy Award-winner Darius Rucker, who is a longtime WWE fan, is set to perform “The Star-Spangled Banner” to open SummerSlam on night two.
For 2026, both nights of SummerSlam are available to watch on ESPN+ via ESPN Unlimited. It’s not a pay-per-view event, but rather you’d need access to ESPN Unlimited to watch all of the WWE action. Although the sports streaming service doesn’t have a free trial to watch SummerSlam for free, you can sign up for a five-day free trial to DirecTV, which comes with access to ESPN Unlimited.

The service even offers a five-day free trial to watch for free, if you sign up now.
You can watch local networks, such as NBC, CBS and FOX, while you can watch many cable networks too, including FX, AMC, A&E, Bravo, Cartoon Network, ESPN, FS1, VH1, Fuse, CNN, Food Network, Lifetime, CNBC, BET, MTV, Paramount Network and many others.
