Smackdown is officially moving back to a three-hour broadcast starting with the Friday, January 2 episode live from the Keybank Center in Buffalo, New York.

The change was announced last night on the show by WWE announcer Michael Cole.

Smackdown was a three-hour show for the first half of 2025 and it was in June when it went back to a two-hour broadcast after USA Network added a new show in that time slot.

The change is also expected to be for half of 2026 and due to the extra hour, there might be some additions to the Smackdown roster, which is already suffering as it is.

Tickets for this Smackdown are available via Ticketmaster.com.
