Live events on Netflix are accessible globally, though language availability varies by event.

Enjoy sports, stand-up comedy, award shows, and other special events that stream live on Netflix. Here’s a list of upcoming live events and recurring live series, and be sure to check Tudum often for information on new offerings. 

Live events allow you to rewind, pause, play from the beginning, or jump to live at any point during the livestream. They can also be watched afterward.

You can watch live on most newer devices, including:

• Smart TVs
• Streaming media players
• Android phones and tablets
• iPhones and iPads
• Mac and Windows computers
• Game consoles

Make sure your device is running the latest version of the Netflix app to watch live.

Some things to remember:

• Most newer devices are supported. If you see a message that an app update is needed, you may also want to check that your operating system is up-to-date.
• If you’re getting a message that your device doesn’t support livestreaming, you’ll need to use a different device to watch live.
• Casting or mirroring from a mobile device or Chrome browser isn’t supported when watching live. You can still watch the livestream on your supported mobile device or in a Chrome browser.

There are a small number of devices not listed above that don’t support watching live. This is typically because the Netflix app or software on the device can’t be updated to a version that supports livestreaming, or is no longer actively supported.

If you don’t have a supported device, live events will typically be made available a few days after the livestream to watch just like other titles on Netflix. You’ll see a message that your device doesn’t support livestreaming until then.

Note: The title won’t always be available immediately following the livestream if your profile language settings are different from the original language of the live event. Once subtitles are complete and available in your preferred viewing language, you’ll be able to watch.

Live events, special events, or other new features may contain commercial breaks across all our plans. TV shows and movies that are not live are free of commercial breaks on ad-free experiences, but they may have other types of commercial content. Following the end of a live event, commercial breaks will be removed on ad-free experiences.

Note: In some cases within ad-free experiences, ads may be present for a short amount of time after the event is live, but can be fast-forwarded through.
