WWE Money in the Bank starts at 7 p.m. ET on the night of the event
WWE Money in the Bank is a premium live event held once per year, usually in the spring or early summer. The main card kicks off at 7 p.m. Eastern Time. If you want to watch the pre-show matches, those typically begin one to two hours earlier — check WWE's official schedule for the specific event year, since timing can shift year to year.
The event airs live on Peacock (the NBC streaming service) if you have a subscription. It also streams on traditional pay-per-view through cable and satellite providers, though those routes cost more. The entire broadcast, including pre-show, usually runs four to five hours total from the moment coverage begins until the final match concludes.
Key Takeaways
- The main card starts at 7 p.m. ET; pre-show matches begin earlier, typically around 5 or 6 p.m. ET depending on the year.
- Peacock subscribers can watch the full event as part of their membership with no additional cost beyond the subscription.
- Cable and satellite pay-per-view is available but costs extra on top of your provider bill.
- The entire broadcast runs roughly four to five hours from pre-show through main event conclusion.
- WWE announces the exact start time for each Money in the Bank event on their official website and social media accounts weeks in advance.
Where to find the exact start time for this year's event
WWE posts the official start time on WWE.com and on their social media accounts (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook) several weeks before the event. The timing can vary year to year, so do not assume it is always 7 p.m. — check the official source to be certain of the exact time for the specific event you plan to watch.
Your cable or satellite provider's guide will also list the start time if you plan to order through them. Peacock displays the start time in the app itself once you navigate to the event listing. Both sources update as the event date approaches, so checking a few days before ensures you have the most current information.
Time zone conversions for Money in the Bank
If you live outside the Eastern Time zone, here is how 7 p.m. ET converts to your local time:
| Time Zone | Start Time |
| Eastern (ET) | 7 p.m. |
| Central (CT) | 6 p.m. |
| Mountain (MT) | 5 p.m. |
| Pacific (PT) | 4 p.m. |
| Alaska (AKT) | 3 p.m. |
| Hawaii (HST) | 1 p.m. |
These conversions assume the standard time zone offset. During daylight saving time transitions, the differences remain the same — all zones shift together, so the relative timing stays consistent. If you are unsure which time zone you are in, your phone or computer settings will show your local time zone name.
Watching the pre-show matches
The pre-show typically starts one to two hours before the main card. These matches are included with Peacock and pay-per-view purchases, so you do not need to pay extra to watch them. The pre-show features lower-card wrestlers and sometimes includes matches that determine who enters the Money in the Bank ladder match later in the night, making it worth watching if you want the full story.
If you are ordering through cable or satellite, the pre-show usually begins broadcasting at the same time the main event broadcast starts on your TV guide, though the actual pre-show content may have started streaming online earlier. Check your provider's listing to confirm when their broadcast begins, as some providers delay the pre-show start on cable while it runs earlier online.
How long the event runs
Money in the Bank typically runs four to five hours total, including the pre-show. The main card alone (without pre-show) usually lasts three to four hours. The exact length depends on how many matches are scheduled and whether any matches go longer than expected due to crowd reaction or storyline developments.
Plan to have the evening free if you want to watch from start to finish. If you only want to catch the main event and skip the pre-show, you can tune in closer to 7 p.m. ET, though you may miss storyline setup that happens earlier in the broadcast. Many fans watch the pre-show while doing other things and then give full attention to the main card matches.
Streaming and replay options after the event
Peacock keeps the full event available on-demand after it airs, so you can watch it anytime afterward at your own pace. This means if you cannot watch live, you can still see the entire broadcast without spoilers if you avoid social media and wrestling news sites until you have watched.
Pay-per-view through cable or satellite typically allows replays for 24 to 48 hours after the event ends, depending on your provider. After that window closes, your only option is Peacock if you want to rewatch the full event. Some clips and highlights appear on WWE's free YouTube channel after the event, but the full broadcast requires payment through one of these two methods.
