Summary
- WWE SmackDown airs on Syfy on Feb. 13 and Feb. 20.
- The show returns to USA Network on Feb. 27.
- All episodes are available on Peacock the day after airing.
WWE SmackDown is temporarily relocating its Friday night broadcasts to the Syfy channel. This change is necessitated by the 2026 Winter Olympics, which are occupying the USA Network's schedule with 24/7 programming until February 22.
Fans can tune into "Friday Night SmackDown" on Syfy for the February 13 and February 20 airings. The show maintains its regular 8 p.m. ET start time. Viewers without traditional cable can stream "SmackDown" via DirecTV, which includes a live Syfy feed, or through Sling's Blue package.
Alternatively, every episode of "Friday Night SmackDown" becomes available on-demand via Peacock the day following its television broadcast. Peacock, as the official streaming partner for WWE, also hosts major live wrestling events. "SmackDown" is scheduled to resume its regular broadcast on USA Network beginning with the February 27 episode.
