WWE Money in the Bank airs on Saturday evenings, typically starting at 8 p.m. ET on Peacock

WWE Money in the Bank is an annual wrestling event, not a banking product. If you arrived here looking for information about actual bank accounts or financial transactions, you're on the wrong page. This article covers the wrestling event only.

The event airs live on Peacock (NBC's streaming service) on a Saturday in early summer, usually June. Start times vary slightly by year, but the main card typically begins at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT. The exact date and time shift annually, so checking Peacock's schedule or WWE's official website the week before is the only reliable way to confirm.

If you have a Peacock subscription, you can stream it directly. If not, Peacock offers a free tier with ads, though premium events like Money in the Bank usually require a paid subscription (Premium or Premium Plus). Some cable providers also carry the event on pay-per-view, though this option costs significantly more than a streaming subscription.

Key Takeaways

  • Money in the Bank airs live on Peacock on a Saturday in early summer, starting around 8 p.m. ET.
  • You need a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus subscription to watch, or access through a cable provider's pay-per-view option.
  • The exact date and time change each year, so confirm on Peacock or WWE.com the week of the event.
  • The event features the signature "Money in the Bank" ladder match, where wrestlers compete for a briefcase containing a title shot.
  • Pre-show coverage begins 30 to 60 minutes before the main card and is included with your Peacock subscription.

How to Find the Exact Air Date and Time

WWE announces the Money in the Bank date months in advance, but the specific start time is usually confirmed closer to the event. Peacock displays the time in your local timezone once you log in, so you don't have to do the math yourself.

You can also check WWE.com or the WWE app for the official schedule. Both show the card, start time, and any pre-show events that air before the main card begins. Pre-shows typically start 30 minutes to an hour earlier than the main event. Setting a reminder on your phone or calendar prevents you from missing the start time.

Streaming Options and Subscription Requirements

Peacock Premium costs around $6 per month with ads or $12 per month without ads. Premium Plus (the ad-free tier with offline downloads) runs about $20 per month. Money in the Bank is included with any paid tier; the free version does not carry premium live events.

If you already subscribe to Peacock for other content, you don't pay extra to watch Money in the Bank. If you don't have a subscription, you can sign up just before the event or use a free trial if one is available in your region. Most free trials last seven days, which gives you time to watch the event and cancel if you don't want to keep the subscription.

Cable and satellite providers (Comcast, DirecTV, Dish, etc.) sometimes offer Money in the Bank on pay-per-view for $50 to $80, depending on your provider. This is more expensive than a Peacock subscription and is a one-time purchase for that event only. If you watch wrestling events regularly, a Peacock subscription becomes the cheaper option over time.

What Happens Before and After the Main Event

WWE typically airs a pre-show starting 30 to 60 minutes before the main card. The pre-show includes matches that don't make the main broadcast and is free on Peacock and WWE's YouTube channel. It's a good way to start watching early without paying extra.

After Money in the Bank ends, WWE usually airs a post-show recap or analysis on their social media channels and the WWE app. The next episode of Raw or SmackDown (WWE's weekly shows) will feature fallout from the event, so if you miss Money in the Bank, you can catch highlights there. Peacock keeps the full event available on-demand for several days after the live broadcast.
