How to Watch Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua on Netflix (is it really “free”?)
Yes. “Free” in this case means no separate PPV purchase. If you’re already a Netflix subscriber, you can watch the main card live inside the Netflix app.
If you don’t have Netflix, you’ll need to subscribe. And if you’re searching “Netflix free trial for Jake Paul vs Joshua.” Netflix’s Help Center states it does not offer free trials.
Fans are also searching “what channel is Jake Paul vs Joshua on,” and the answer is: it’s not on cable, the main card is only on Netflix (with prelims on Tudum). If you’re asking “can I watch on my phone” or “can I watch on my laptop,” yes. The Netflix app and Netflix.com work the same way they do for any stream, as long as your plan supports streaming on that device.
Another common last-minute question is “can I rewatch Jake Paul vs Joshua?” Netflix typically keeps major live events available afterward, but the timing can vary by region and licensing. If you miss the beginning, open Netflix and use the event tile/search bar. Many live events also allow you to jump back to the start once the stream is archived.
What time does Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua start?
Netflix’s official listing breaks it into two parts:
The preliminary card begins at 4:45 p.m. ET, and it streams on Tudum. The main card starts at 8 p.m. ET and streams live on Netflix.
One important note for fans searching “ring walk time” or “main event time”: in boxing, walkouts can slide later depending on how long earlier fights last. The safest move is to be in Netflix right at the main-card start.
How to watch on TV, phone, or laptop (and avoid last-minute chaos)
The most common fight-night searches are basically tech panic: “Netflix live stream not working,” “buffering,” “error code,” and “can I watch on my Smart TV.”
A simple checklist usually prevents 90% of issues:
- Update the Netflix app before the stream starts.
- Restart your Smart TV/streaming device (Roku/Fire TV/Apple TV).
- Log in early and keep the stream open once it begins.
- If your Wi-Fi is shaky, move closer to the router or use ethernet if possible.
