Smackdown moves to three hours on USA Network starting tonight

Starting tonight, Smackdown on USA Network reverts to its three-hour format and will remain as is for the next several months.

The blue brand went to three hours for the first time in January 2025 and stayed as a three-hour broadcast until June when USA Network premiered a new television series in the 10PM time slot.

The same pattern is expected to be followed in 2026, with Smackdown set to spend the first half of the year as a three-hour show.

Also, Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett will return to call the show from tonight, with the Raw and Smackdown commentary teams swapping places.

Tonight’s Smackdown will take place from the Keybank Center in Buffalo, New York. Tickets are available via Ticketmaster.com starting from $75.25.
