WWE Bad Blood 2024 live stream: How to watch online today, start time, card
CM Punk and Drew McIntyre's brutal rivalry comes to an explosive head
WWE Bad Blood returns for the first time tonight – 27 years to the precise date of the very first Bad Blood, or Badd Blood as it was then, back in 1997. Here's how to watch WWE Bad Blood 2024 online, on TV ahead of the title matches, a huge tag team bout and what promises to be a brutal Hell in a Cell.
• Date: Saturday, October 5
• Start time: 6 p.m. ET / 3 p.m. PT / and Sunday 1 a.m. BST / 10 a.m. AEST
• U.S. — Watch on Peacock
• RoW — Watch on WWE Network
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk-free
For the first time since 2004, and taking place on the same date as the very first Bad Blood event no less, WWE Bad Blood 2024 emanates from Atlanta, Georgia's State Farm Arena today.
Depending on what reports you read, one of two matches will headline Bad Blood 2024. Some outlets believe CM Punk and Drew McIntyre bringing their rivalry to a blistering end within the confines of Hell in a Cell will close out Bad Blood, while the other school of thought is that the mammoth tag match pitting Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns against the 'new' Bloodline's Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu will headline this latest WWE Premium Live Event.
Elsewhere, the Judgment Day is involved in two matches, both of which involve former members of the faction. Women's World Champion Liv Morgan defends her title against the one-time face of the Judgment Day, Rhea Ripley, while Finn Balor and Damian Priest finally go one-on-one. For that Morgan vs. Ripley contest, poor Dominik Mysterio finds himself hanging above the ring in a shark cage.
As for the other match on the card, Nia Jax defends her WWE Women's Championship against Bayley. Of course, Bayley was the person Nia defeated for that title back at WWE SummerSlam in August.
With that said, here's our full guide to where to watch WWE Bad Blood 2024 online and on TV around the world.

WWE Bad Blood 2024 card, predictions and storylines
Emanating from Atlanta, Georgia's State Farm Arena today, WWE Bad Blood 2024 should be quite the Premium Live Event.
Taking place on the exact same date as the very first Bad Blood all the way back in 1997 - an PPV that saw the monster debut of a certain Kane - Bad Blood 2024 once again has a Hell in a Cell match grabbing all of the attention. Back in '97, it was Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker in the very first ever Hell in a Cell match, and this time it's CM Punk and Drew McIntyre who'll be butting within the ominous cell structure.
Speaking of ominous, anticipation is high for Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns teaming together to take on Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu of the 'new' Bloodline. Can Rhodes and Reigns co-exist, or will these long-time rivals implode against the might of Solo and Fatu?
In terms of title fights on the WWE Bad Blood 2024 card, it's the ladies who take charge on that front. Nia Jax defends the WWE Women's Championship against former champ Bayley, while Liv Morgan puts her Women's World Championship on the line against the ever-imposing Rhea Ripley. Of course, in that Morgan vs. Ripley contest, 'Dirty' Dominik Mysterio will be suspended above the ring in a shark cage.
Rounding out the WWE Bad Blood 2024 card, it's further Judgment Day shenanigans as Finn Balor battles the man he previously held tag told with, Damian Priest. With Balor and the Judgment Day regularly getting the better of Priest in recent weeks, can the Punisher get some semblance of revenge at Bad Blood?
- Tag Team Match: Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns vs. The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu)
- Singles Match: Damian Priest vs. Finn Balor
- WWE Women's Championship Match: Nia Jax (c) vs. Bayley
- Women's World Championship Match With Dominik Mysterio In A Shark Cage: Liv Morgan (c) vs. Rhea Ripley
- Hell In A Cell Match: CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre
