As a WrestleMania weekend tradition, NXT Stand and Deliver kicked off the PLE part of WrestleMania weekend since 2021 (or actually 2016 if you’d like to count the TakeOver era). However today, this will change as NXT’s biggest event got its own weekend this year.
WWE SVP Talent and Development Shawn Michaels announced on X that NXT Stand and Deliver will have its own weekend on April 4th and will eminate from The Factory at The District in St. Louis, Missouri. The Factory has held the second-ever NXT TV episode on The CW in 2024 and has a capacity of 3000 people. With this news, the 4/3 episode of Friday Night SmackDown on USA/Netflix will eminate from the Enterprise Center in the same city.
The show will likely air at 7 PM EST/12 AM BST with a one-hour Countdown to pre-show on YouTube. If the start time changes, please check the Upcoming Events page. WWENetflixNews will provide coverage of this event either live or delayed.
With this, however, a new question pops up: where will it air? The show will air on Netflix outside of the United States and the WWE Network in select countries like Germany, but as the NXT PLE portion of WWE’s deal with Peacock comes to a close in March 2026, it is not likely that Peacock will carry the 2026 Stand and Deliver event. There has been no word on where the event will air domestically, with chances of such rights going to Netflix akin to the PLE archive or even for free on YouTube, which would be the inverse of what most WWE programming does for international broadcasting. As of this writing, NXT Vengeance Day on March 7th will likely be Peacock’s last NXT Premium Live Event with no indication of the deal being renewed. The press release below hasn’t released any broadcast information either, so stay tuned on this site for more news when we get it!
Below is the press release of the event:
February 25, 2026 – As announced earlier today by WWE Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative Shawn Michaels, Stand & Deliver, NXT’s annual marquee event, will emanate live from The Factory at The District in St. Louis on Saturday, April 4.
The Premium Live Event will feature high-stakes championship matches and showcase the brightest young talent in sports entertainment, including NXT Champion Joe Hendry, NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne, NXT North American Champion Myles Borne, NXT Women’s North American Champion Izzi Dame and others.
Tickets for Stand & Deliver will go on sale starting Wednesday, March 4 at 10am local via Ticketmaster.com. Fans can purchase tickets during an exclusive presale by visiting Ticketmaster.com starting Tuesday, March 3 at 10am local.
