How to watch the World Wrestling Championships 2026 in Astana
The World Wrestling Championships 2026 will take place in Astana, Kazakhstan, at Barys Arena from October 24 to November 1, featuring men's freestyle, women's wrestling and Greco-Roman events. Live coverage will be available on the subscription service UWW+ with regional restrictions, and the tournament will be streamed in the United States on FloWrestling; there is no confirmed television broadcaster in India.
Astana was named the replacement host after the championships were originally scheduled for Manama, Bahrain, and the event will run for nine days at Barys Arena. The competition encompasses multiple weight categories across the three styles. The Indian contingent is led by Sujeet Kalkal in men’s freestyle and Neha Sangwan in the women’s team, with Greco-Roman competitors including Nitesh Siwach and Sunil Kumar. Organizers and broadcasters list UWW+ as United World Wrestling’s official subscription-based streaming platform for the championships.
UWW+ will offer live matches and video-on-demand access, with daily and tournament passes available through the service’s website and mobile app. Availability of individual live events on UWW+ may vary by region, and viewers should consult the platform for specific event listings. Users can access the UWW mobile app to stream matches and watch on-demand content where regional rights permit.
In the United States, the championships will be streamed live on FloWrestling, accessible via the FloWrestling website and supported FloSports apps on mobile devices and compatible televisions. FloWrestling subscribers can use those platforms to follow sessions as they are broadcast. Fans are advised to verify device compatibility and subscription requirements for FloSports apps ahead of the tournament.
There is currently no confirmed television broadcaster in India for the World Wrestling Championships 2026; Indian viewers who want live coverage will need to subscribe to UWW+. Fans outside India may also use UWW+ subject to regional broadcast restrictions, so those planning to watch should confirm regional access.
