Alex Honnold vs Taipei 101. Historic live climb on Netflix!

Calendar 1/24/2026

Netflix is gearing up for one of the most exciting events in its history. Soon, viewers around the world will be able to watch live as climbing legend – Alex Honnold – attempts to conquer one of the tallest buildings on the planet.

Extreme Live Event!

Alex Honnold, the man who shocked the world by climbing without harnesses on El Capitan (captured in the Oscar-winning “Free Solo”), this time is swapping natural rock for glass and steel. His target is Taipei 101. That’s the 508-metre giant that was the tallest building in the world for years. This event is part of Netflix's new strategy focusing on unique live content. The lack of editing and margin for error makes this one of the most thrilling programs in the platform's history.

When to watch?

Due to the time difference, fans of extreme challenges will have to prepare for a late-night viewing. The broadcast will take place overnight from Friday to Saturday.

Key event details:

  • Date: 24 January 2026

  • Time: 2:00 AM CET

  • Location: Taipei 101, Taiwan

  • Platform: Netflix (live stream)
