What Time Does WrestleMania 33 Start? 2017 WWE PPV Includes 13 Matches, Kickoff Show

WrestleMania 33 is easily WWE’s biggest event of 2017, and it will be reflected in the length of Sunday’s show. Between the kickoff show and the actual pay-per-view, the 13 matches on the card could span more than six hours.

In order to catch every second of the action, fans should tune into WWE Network at 5 p.m. EDT when the kickoff show begins. The second hour of the kickoff show moves over to TV on USA at 6 p.m. EDT, and the PPV has a start time of 7 p.m. EDT.

WWE PPVs usually end before 11 p.m. EDT (most start at 8 p.m. EDT), but that might not be the case Sunday night at Camping World Stadium in Orlando. WrestleMania 32 lasted well past 11 p.m. EDT a year ago, and this year’s show features even more matches.

Three matches are set to conclude before the PPV starts at 7 p.m. EDT. The Cruiserweight Championship Match, the SmackDown Women’s Championship Match and the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal are all scheduled for the kickoff show.

Aside from the 10 matches that will begin after 7 p.m EDT, WrestleMania 33 will feature various segments that don’t include any wrestling at all. Two different musical performances are scheduled, and The New Day should have a few segments as the hosts of WrestleMania 33.

WrestleMania usually features a segment honoring the recent WWE Hall of Fame inductees, and Kurt Angle will likely be honored in front of the crowd as the headliner of this year’s class. The Rock isn’t scheduled to be at WrestleMania 33, but he’s made a surprise appearance at WrestleMania in each of the last three years.

The WrestleMania main event is usually one of the longest matches on the show, but that probably won’t be the case Sunday. Goldberg and Brock Lesnar are expected to close the show, and it’s hard to believe they will have a match that lasts for more than a few minutes.
