Fans in the UK must refrain from breaking a key law, or else they could face a fine of up to £1,000 plus court costs. TV Licences are a necessity to watch any type of live content as it is broadcast, and as per the TV Licensing website, it is applicable to anything that is 'live on streaming services'.
Anyone tuning in for the Elimination Chamber will need to have paid for a TV licence.

Daniel McAfee, Head of Legal Operations at Lawhive, said: "Under UK law, any live television broadcast requires a valid TV licence, regardless of the streaming platform.
“We have a duty to enforce the law when there is evidence that someone has avoided paying for a TV Licence."
