Professional wrestling doesn't have a "season" like other sporting events, but unarguably the most exciting time of the year is the annual Road to WrestleMania, which once again kicks off with Sunday night's Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
WWE Royal Rumble 2015: Time, TV schedule and online streaming
The greatest gimmick match of the year takes place on Sunday night. Find out how you can watch it live.
Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.
The event begins at 8 p.m. ET on pay-per-view and the WWE Network. If you subscribe to WWE Network (still only $9.99 a month), you’ll be able to stream the Royal Rumble live on any number of devices. There will be an hour-long, live pre-show beginning at 7 p.m. on the Network, featuring an exclusive “Kickoff Match” pitting The New Day against the trio of Adam Rose, Cesaro and Tyson Kidd.
If you prefer to watch through your cable box, the Rumble will set you back a minimum of $59.99 if you order on traditional pay-per-view. Many large providers, like Time Warner Cable and Charter, will still carry the PPV, even though some providers like Dish Network and DIRECTV have dropped WWE's PPVs from their schedule.
