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
