WWE Smackdown will air on Syfy for two weeks, on February 13th and 20th, to accommodate the Winter Olympics coverage on USA Network. This scheduling change was confirmed during this week’s episode and is part of WWE’s arrangement amid the Olympic broadcasts from Italy.
Details of the Broadcast Locations and Continuity
The USA Network is airing the Winter Olympics over the next fortnight, necessitating Smackdown’s temporary move. WWE previously shifted Raw and NXT to Syfy during the Summer Olympics of 2024. Despite relocating, Smackdown will continue to run for a full three hours. International viewers can still watch the show on Netflix as usual.
The February 13th episode will be broadcast from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, while the February 20th show is set for the FLA Live Arena in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Return to USA Network and Upcoming WWE Events
WWE Smackdown will return to USA Network on February 27th, broadcasting from the KFC Yum Arena in Louisville, Kentucky. This episode will serve as the final show before the WWE Elimination Chamber event, which will take place at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
