WWE announced during last Friday’s episode of SmackDown that the show will air on Syfy for the next two weeks, specifically on February 13th and 20th. This temporary change is due to the Winter Olympics taking place in Italy, which will be broadcast on the USA Network. Despite this move, SmackDown will still maintain its three-hour runtime. Previously, WWE had shifted RAW and NXT to Syfy in 2024 because of the Summer Olympics.
For international audiences, the show will continue to stream on Netflix as usual. The upcoming SmackDown episode will take place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, while the February 20th episode will be held at the FLA Live Arena in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
WWE SmackDown will return to the USA Network on February 27th. That episode will occur at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky, and will serve as the go-home show for the WWE Elimination Chamber premium live event at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
