WWE SmackDown, also known asFriday Night SmackDown or simplySmackDown, is an Americanprofessional wrestling television program produced byWWE. It airslive every Friday at 8 p.m.Eastern Time (ET) onUSA Network in the United States, and in most international markets onNetflix.
SmackDown is the most viewed television show on Friday nights in the United States.[3]Fox Deportes simulcasts the program withSpanish-language commentary. The show features characters from theSmackDownbrand, to which WWE wrestlers are assigned to work and perform. It is considered to be one of WWE's two flagship programs, along withMonday Night Raw.[4]
SmackDown! debuted inKemper Arena inKansas City, Missouri onUPN on April 29, 1999, and was formerly broadcast on Thursday nights. The show moved to Friday nights on September 9, 2005, and began airing onThe CW in September 2006, after themerger of UPN and the WB. The show later moved toMyNetworkTV in October 2008.[5][6] On October 1, 2010,SmackDown moved to cable networkSyfy,[7][8] and eventually returned to Thursdays on January 15, 2015.[9] The show then moved to the sibling USA Network on January 7, 2016,[10][11][12] and later that year, beginning on July 19,SmackDown began broadcasting live on Tuesday nights.[13]SmackDown's move to Fox on October 4, 2019 marked the show's return to Friday nights and over-the-air broadcast television (as well as the second timeSmackDown has aired on a Fox-owned network). On September 13, 2024, the show returned to USA Network.[14]
SmackDown has been broadcast from over 100+ arenas, 100+ cities and towns, and ten countries:United States,Canada,United Kingdom,Italy,Japan in 2005,Mexico in 2011,France,Saudi Arabia, andGermany in 2024 andSpain in 2025. Prior to switching to its current live format, taped episodes premiered a few hours earlier in Ireland and the United Kingdom than in the United States (and a day earlier in Australia, Canada, Singapore, and the Philippines) due to time differences. For international broadcast listings,see below. The show celebrated its 15th anniversary on October 10, 2014,[15] and the 1000th episode on October 16, 2018.
TheWWE Network ceased operations in the United States on April 4, 2021, with all content moved toPeacock which now has all previous episodes ofSmackDown. Recent episodes are still available for on-demand viewing 30 days after the original air date.

WWF SmackDown! was set up to compete againstWorld Championship Wrestling (WCW)'s Thursday night show,Thunder.SmackDown! first appeared on April 29, 1999, using theRaw set as a single television special onUPN. On August 26, 1999,SmackDown! officially debuted on UPN. LikeThunder,SmackDown! was recorded on Tuesdays and then broadcast on Thursdays. The new WWF show was so popular that WCW movedThunder to Wednesdays so that it would not compete directly. Throughout the show's early existence,The Rock routinely calledSmackDown! "his show", in reference to the fact that the name was derived from one of hiscatchphrases, "Layeth the Smack down".[16] In March 2002, WWF implemented the "brand extension", under whichRaw andSmackDown! would have separate rosters of performers that are exclusive to their respective programs and events, and be positioned in-universe as competing "brands" (in a manner reminiscent ofathletic conferences).[17]
In the 2004–05 season,SmackDown! had an average viewership of 5.1 million viewers, making it UPN's second-highest-rated series behindAmerica's Next Top Model. With the cancellation ofStar Trek: Enterprise,SmackDown! moved into its former timeslot on Friday nights for the 2005–06 season, beginning September 9, 2005. WWE subsequently announced that the show would be renamedFriday Night SmackDown! to emphasize the new scheduling.[18]
In January 2006,CBS Corporation andWarner Bros. Entertainment announced that UPN andThe WB would merge to form a new network known asThe CW that fall. As part of the announcement, The CW announced that it would renewFriday Night SmackDown! for two more seasons as part of its launch schedule—which drew from the strongest programs of its two predecessors.[19] On September 22, 2006,Friday Night SmackDown! aired its first ever episode on The CW.
The CW declined to renewSmackDown, resulting in the series being picked up in October 2008 byMyNetworkTV, a second new network that had been formed byFox Entertainment Group to take on former UPN and WB affiliates who were not selected to join The CW.[20] Retaining its previous Friday-night time slot, the season premiere ofSmackDown on MyNetworkTV was the highest-rated program in that night on the network, with 3.2 million viewers.[21] On March 20, 2009,SmackDown celebrated its 500th episode.[22]
On October 1, 2010, as part of a new broadcast deal withNBC Universal,SmackDown moved toSyfy, retaining its Friday night timeslot.[7] Prior to this premiere ofSmackDown, Michael Cole hosted a "pre-game" show. The move saw Syfy paying close to $30 million for the show as opposed to the $20 million paid by its former network MyNetworkTV.[8]
During the August 29, 2011 episode ofRaw, WWE dissolved the brand extension, thus allowing performers to appear onRaw andSmackDown at any given time without restriction.[23] The October 14, 2011, episode madeSmackDown the second-longest-running weekly episodic television series of American television history (behindRaw, which surpassed that mark on August 1, 2005). On January 18, 2013,SmackDown celebrated its 700th episode.
On October 10, 2014,SmackDown celebrated its 15-year anniversary.[15] To help celebrate the 15th anniversary,Stephanie McMahon came out first, then Laurinaitis and Long, respectively, the latter of which kept one-upping each other for the main event of the night until McMahon decided to keep the15-man tag team match that Long suggested, on the condition Laurinaitis and Long be the captains of each team like atWrestleMania XXVIII.[24] Long's team won the match.[25] On December 16, 2014,SmackDown aired a live 800th episode special on Syfy's sister channelUSA Network,SuperSmackDown Live!, featuring a main event betweenDolph Ziggler andSeth Rollins.[26]
In January 2015,SmackDown returned to a Thursday time slot. The return to Thursday nights was expected to help attract a younger audience to Syfy, as well as more premium advertising dollars from marketers, who tend to spend more to promote their products, especially film releases, on the night as consumers head into the weekend.[27] The lastSmackDown airing on a Friday night had 2.43 million viewers with a 0.7 share.[28] On January 7, 2016,SmackDown moved to USA Network, remaining on Thursday nights.[10][11][12] With the move, all top three WWE programs—Raw,SmackDown andTough Enough—would air on the same network for the first time ever.[11][29]
On May 25, 2016, as part of the re-implementation of thebrand extension and split betweenRaw andSmackDown, it was announced thatSmackDown would move to Tuesday nights and be broadcast live.[30] On the July 11, 2016 episode ofRaw,Vince McMahon namedShane McMahon the commissioner of SmackDown.[31] Then next week onRaw,Daniel Bryan was revealed as the new SmackDown General Manager.[32] On July 22, 2016, general manager Daniel Bryan revealed the new SmackDown logo on his official Twitter page, renaming the showSmackDown Live.[33] On April 10, 2018, SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon announced that Daniel Bryan was back as a full-time WWE wrestler and namedPaige the new general manager.[34]

On June 26, 2018,Fox announced a five-year agreement to airSmackDown, in a deal worth $205 million per year.SmackDown would debut on October 4, 2019, with its first episode being the20th Anniversary special. The episode also marked the return ofSmackDown to Friday nights and the return of WWE programming to Fox for the first time since Fox aired the November 14, 1992 episode ofSaturday Night's Main Event.[35][36][37] The agreement came as WWE's previous broadcast deal with USA Network to air bothSmackDown andWWE Raw was set to expire, and as Fox has increasingly emphasized live sports programming and non-scripted entertainment in the wake of its then-upcoming sale of itsin-house studios toDisney. Fox had hoped to acquireRaw for the Fox network andSmackDown forFS1.[38][39] However, amid a competitive bidding situation, NBCUniversal focused its efforts on renewingRaw, freeing up Fox to pursueSmackDown.[40] In particular, Fox promised a larger amount of promotion forSmackDown during itssports programming, as well as a WWE-oriented studio show (WWE Backstage) on FS1.[41]
From March 13, 2020, all WWE touring shows were cancelled indefinitely due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, withSmackDown,Raw, and pay-per-views being broadcast from a studio in theWWE Performance Center inOrlando, Floridawith no audience beginning that night. The ensuing episode also featuredTriple H as a guest commentator, and an encore presentation of theElimination Chamber match for theSmackDown Tag Team Championship from thetitular pay-per-view the previous Sunday.[42][43] On August 17, WWE announced thatSmackDown,Raw, and pay-per-views would move out of the Performance Center to the "WWE ThunderDome" at Orlando'sAmway Center, beginning withSmackDown on August 21. The program continued to be broadcast behind closed doors, but with avirtual audience and enhanced arena production.[44][45] WWE returned to hosting and touring shows for both theSmackDown andRaw brands in June 2021.[46]
Since the move to Fox,SmackDown has occasionally been pre-empted to FS1 due to conflicts with other Fox Sports programming airing in primetime, particularly theMajor League Baseball postseason.[47][48] In one instance in October 2019 due to theWorld Series, an hour-long version of the episode aired on Fox the following Sunday afternoon.[49][50]
In conjunction with the2023 Money in the Bank event, which was held atThe O2 Arena inLondon, England, on July 1, the June 30, 2023, episode ofSmackDown was held at the same venue, and broadcast live onBT Sport in local primetime hours for the first time.[51] In 2024, the program aired episodes from other countries for the first time in conjunction with other WWE PPV's, including May 3 forBacklash France (LDLC Arena inDécines-Charpieu, Lyon, France), May 24 forKing and Queen of the Ring (Jeddah Super Dome inJeddah,Saudi Arabia),[52] and August 31 forBash in Berlin (Uber Arena inBerlin, Germany).[53]
On September 21, 2023, it was announced thatSmackDown would return to USA Network in October 2024, following the expiration of WWE's contract with Fox. The agreement with NBCUniversal was reported to be valued at $1.4 billion over five years, an increase over the previous agreement. As part of the agreement, WWE also agreed to produce four primetime specials for sister broadcast networkNBC per-year;[54] these specials were later revealed to be a second revival ofSaturday Night's Main Event, which premiered on December 14, 2024.[55]
The original date ofSmackDown's return to USA Network was October 4, 2024, the fifth anniversary of its premiere on Fox, however, Fox had originally planned to move the final three episodes ofSmackDown to FS1 to accommodate the premiere ofFox College Football Friday in its former time slot.[56] On May 9, 2024, USA Network announced thatSmackDown would return to the channel on September 13, 2024, retaining its Friday-night timeslot.[57]
On December 20, 2024, WWE announced thatSmackDown would expand to three hours beginning January 3, 2025, replacingNXT Level Up.[58][59] AsNetflix acquired the rights to WWE programming outside of the United States, andRaw globally starting January 2025, that episode ofSmackDown was streamed onYouTube internationally in the interim.SmackDown's formal Netflix debut was on the January 10 episode, following the debut ofRaw on Netflix.[60]
WWE tapedSmackDown on Tuesday evenings to air on Thursday evenings on UPN the same week. However,SmackDown had aired occasional live specials on Tuesday nights (which are then replayed in its usual Thursday night timeslot). The show began broadcasting inHD beginning with the January 25, 2008 episode ofSmackDown, where a new set (which became universal for all WWE weekly programming) debuted. Following the first broadcast in HD, theexclamation mark used since the show's inception disappeared from all references pertaining to "SmackDown", including the official logo, which resembles the 2001–2008 logo, but with a darker blue scheme.

The early set included an oval-shapedTitanTron entrance and stage (dubbed the "Ovaltron")[61] which made it stand out from theRaw Is War set with its rectangular Titantrons. Later productions gained the ability to move the Ovaltron either to the left or to the right of the stage. In August 2001, as part of celebratingSmackDown!'s second anniversary, the show received a newlogo and set, which consisted of a fist centered above the entrance with the WWF/E scratch logo above it, and many glass panes along the sides strongly resembling shattered glass with two TitanTrons on each side. From September 23, 2004, to September 26, 2008, the theme song forSmackDown! was "Rise Up" byDrowning Pool, with variations, making it the longest tenured theme song used in the program.
WheneverSmackDown! shared the arena withRaw during the 2005–2007 period in a form of a supershow, theSmackDown! stage utilized all or some components of the same set fromRaw.
From November 2, 2012 until April 18, 2014,SmackDown began using "Born 2 Run" by 7Lions as itstheme song, with "This Life" byCFO$ and Cody B. Ware serving as the secondary theme, then a swap was made, as "Born 2 Run" was used as a secondary theme, when "This Life" is used asSmackDown's main theme. Prior to November 2, 2012,SmackDownopened with "Know Your Enemy" byGreen Day while "Hangman" byRev Theory served as the secondary theme song.[62] UponSmackDown's debut on Syfy in 2010, it replaced the previous theme song "Let it Roll" by Divide the Day.[63]
As of August 3, 2012, the show has used the modified WWE HD universal set, which debuted atRaw 1000 on July 23.[64] From September 21, 2012, until October 26, 2012, October 4, 2013, until November 1, 2013, October 3 and 31, 2014, and October 2 and 30, 2015, WWE worked in conjunction withSusan G. Komen for the Cure to raise awareness forbreast cancer by adorning theSmackDown set with pink ribbons and a special pink middle-rope in the ring.SmackDown's ring ropes were usually blue from 1999 to 2012 (although they were black for a period between 2001 and 2002). They remained blue until December 2012 when they were permanently changed to white, with all WWE programming now using white ring ropes. On August 22, 2014,SmackDown switched to a full 16:9 letterbox presentation, with a down-scaled version of the native HD feed on a 4:3 SD feed.
Although the graphics were re-positioned,SmackDown continued to use a variation of the graphics package that had been in use since its first HD broadcast in January 2008, until the show moved to Thursday nights on January 15, 2015, when an all-new graphics package (now optimized for the 16:9 format) and intro video were introduced along with a revisedSmackDown logo. On March 26, 2015, WWE added a smallLED board to the left side of the ring onSmackDown, similar toRaw. On the September 14, 2015 season premiere ofRaw, the middle rope was colored gold. Throughout the month of October 2015, the WWE broadcast table, entrance ramp, and ring skirts were co-branded with Susan G. Komen for the cure of breast cancer.[65] Also, the middle ring rope was pink to promote the fight against breast cancer.[65] Following the brand split in 2016, the ropes return to its original blue color as well as debuting a new set. The post brand extension set was almost identical to theTLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs set from 2009 to 2013 and caused some negative feedback among online fans for re-using an old stage design. A month after the new set debut, a more distinctive and elaborate stage was created for SmackDown. The stage used was a new design with multiple LED side panels on each side with a titan-tron in a semi circle in the center. The new set also introduced LED floor panels on the entrance ramp. Feedback was more positive for this set design.[citation needed]
With the shift to Fox, bothRaw andSmackDown introduced new sets during their "premiere week". The new set featured a large TitanTron screen, with semi-arches partially resembling the originalSmackDown stage.[66]
Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, all WWE programs suspended touring shows from mid-March 2020 through mid-July 2021. AllSmackDown broadcasts were filmedbehind closed doors with no in-person spectators, initially from theWWE Performance Center in Orlando, before returning to an arena setting with a closed set known as the "ThunderDome"—which featured a larger-scale production more in line with its PPV shows, but with avirtual audience displayed on agrandstand constructed from video boards.[44][45][67]
With the return to live shows in July 2021, a new universal stage was adopted by bothSmackDown andRaw, with a high-resolution LED screen, and increasing use ofaugmented reality graphics for the television production.[46]
Since January 3, 2025,SmackDown introduced a blue ring mat. The new standard announce table design, which debuted onthe Raw debut on Netflix, was unveiled the next week.[68]

Notes
On July 10, 2007,Merriam-Webster included the wordsmackdown inWebster's Dictionary.[76][77] Merriam Webster defined a "smackdown" as:
TheOxford English Dictionary traces the use of the wordsmackdown in English back at least as far as 1990, but notes that a professional wrestling television show "popularized" the term.
Throughout its broadcast history, the show has aired editions that have different themes. These include tributes to various professional wrestlers who have recently died or retired from actively performing, and episodes commemorating various show milestones or anniversaries.
AlthoughSmackDown has been the second-largest show in the WWE, the company's use of the term went beyond its namesake program. During the2000 U.S. election campaign, the WWE launched theSmackDown! Your Vote program.[78]
The name was also used when WWE released its 2015 filmThe Flintstones & WWE: Stone Age SmackDown! andWWE Network's showKitchen SmackDown!.[79]
The wrestlers featured on WWE take part in scriptedfeuds andstorylines. Wrestlers are portrayed asheroes,villains, orless distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match.
The primary commentators forSmackDown areJoe Tessitore andWade Barrett. Additional commentary has been provided byTazz,Jim Ross,Josh Mathews,Mauro Ranallo,Tom Phillips and others since its creation.
Since March 2025, Mark Nash is WWE SmackDown's lead ring announcer.
