How to watch WrestleMania 40 online: live stream the WWE wrestling event

The biggest WWE event of the year hits the big four-oh this year, with Wrestlemania XL marking a major anniversary for the annual wrestling exhibition when it takes place on Saturday, April 6, and Sunday, April 7.

Wrestlemania 40 moves to Philadelphia this year, and it's a major event in a few ways. It's the last Wrestlemania not to be airing on Netflix in most places around the world, plus it's the first Wrestlemania to be organized by WWE's new parent company Endeavor (which also does UFC). Most importantly, it'll mark the wrestling return of Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson after eight years away.

Unlike last year's Wrestlemania, there's no specific theme for Wrestlemania 40, but that doesn't mean the match cards are any lighter than ususal. There are due to be at least 13 matches over the two nights of wrestling.

Excited? Here's how to watch Wrestlemania 40 from wherever you are.
