Live events on Netflix
Watch comedy specials, reunions, and other events that stream live as they happen on Netflix. Live events allow you to rewind, pause, play from the beginning, or jump to live at any point during the livestream and can also be watched afterward.
You can watch live on most newer devices, including
-
Smart TVs
-
Streaming media players
-
Android phones and tablets
-
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
-
Computer browsers
-
Game consoles
Make sure your device is running the latest version of the Netflix app to watch live.
If watching live isn't supported on your device, these events are available a few days later for you to watch anytime, like other titles.
While our ad-free plans don’t include commercial breaks in on-demand titles, there may be limited commercial content, such as branded content or sponsorship messaging. We may also offer our members the chance to enjoy additional features like live or special events. Members under any of the subscription plans may have commercial breaks and other types of commercial messages on such content or additional features.

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.
