TKO COO Mark Shapiro on WWE & NBC Universal Being “Keen” on Renewing WWE PLE Content Deal for Peacock
Monday’s Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference event featured TKO Group COO Mark Shapiro as a guest. One of the topics discussed included Shapiro’s thoughts about WWE and Comcast being “keen” on renewing their WWE PLE content deal for NBC Universal’s Peacock.
“We will get into discussions soon — in the next quarter — when it comes to the PLE’s. That deal comes up early to mid-part of 2026. Our conversations on our renewal start relatively soon. In speaking with all the powers at be at Comcast, they are keen to renew and we’re excited to have those conversations. And by the way, Peacock has been a crazy good partner, we’ve been a huge driver of that platform — both in terms of acquisition and retention — and they are making it a priority, so we’re keen to renew with them.”
WWE’s current media rights deal with Peacock is set to expire in March of 2026.
