WWE SmackDown Moving to SyFy for Two Weeks

WWE SmackDown is making a short-term move—and fans need to adjust their remotes.

The February 13 and February 20 editions of SmackDown will temporarily shift from USA Network to SyFy due to NBCUniversal’s coverage of the Winter Olympics. Despite the network change, both episodes will stick to the usual 8:00 PM ET start time and continue running for three hours.

This switch comes as the Winter Games take over USA Network from February 6 through February 22, with events being broadcast from Lombardy and Northeast Italy across NBC, USA, and other partner platforms.

SmackDown will return to USA Network on February 27—just one night before the Elimination Chamber premium live event, making that episode a key stop on the road to WrestleMania.

While the move is only for two weeks, the timing is important as WWE continues to ramp up its major storylines heading into one of the biggest stretches of the year.

Will this brief shift impact viewership or storyline momentum heading into Elimination Chamber? Let us know how you feel about the move and whether you’ll be tuning in on SyFy.
