Netflix is preparing for one of the most exciting events in its history. Soon, viewers around the world will be able to follow the live attempt to scale one of the tallest buildings on the globe by climbing legend – Alex Honnold.
Extreme live event!
Alex Honnold, the man who shocked the world with his unprotected climb of El Capitan (captured in the Oscar-winning "Free Solo"), is this time swapping natural rock for glass and steel. His goal is Taipei 101. This 508-metre giant was the tallest building in the world for many years. This event is part of Netflix's new strategy, focusing on unique, live-streamed content. The absence of editing and margin for error makes it one of the most gripping programmes in the platform's history.
When to Watch?
Due to the time difference, fans of extreme challenges will need to prepare for a late-night viewing. The broadcast will take place on the night from Friday to Saturday.
Key event details:
Date: 24 January 2026
Time: 2:00 AM CET
Location: Taipei 101, Taiwan
Platform: Netflix (live broadcast)
