It’s January 4th in Japan, which means it’s finally time for the annual Wrestle Kingdom megashow inside the Tokyo Dome.

Wrestle Kingdom is New Japan Pro Wrestling’s version of WrestleMania, and WWE stars Shinsuke Nakamura and AJ Styles faced off in the 2016 edition just 12 months ago.

Wrestle Kingdom 11 will begin at 3:00 a.m. ET on January 4th


So how can you watch? New Japan will broadcast Wrestle Kingdom with English-language commentary online via NJPWWorld.com.

You can subscribe to NJPW World here, and it works similarly to the WWE Network.
