WWE SmackDown Preview for February 20, 2026: Confirmed Matches, Start Time and How to Watch

The February 20 episode of Friday Night SmackDown will continue building toward the Elimination Chamber premium live event. That’s why WWE has put together a strong lineup to keep fans entertained from the start of the show.

Men’s Elimination Chamber Qualifier: Trick Williams vs. Carmelo Hayes vs. Damian Priest

Trick Williams will duke it out with Carmelo Hayes and Damian Priest in the Men’s Elimination Chamber qualifying match. Williams and Hayes have a ton of history but fans shouldn’t count out Priest either, so it remains to be seen who will qualify in the end.

Women’s Elimination Chamber Qualifier: Nia Jax vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Kiana James

The Women’s Elimination Chamber qualifying match will see Charlotte Flair square off against Nia Jax and Kiana James. All three competitors have been feuding with each other for the past few weeks, but only one can qualify, so we’ll have to see who’ll pick up the win in the end.

Oba Femi vs. Kit Wilson

Also announced for Friday night, Oba Femi will go one-on-one with Kit Wilson. The Pretty Deadly member called Femi out for his toxic masculinity last week, but he’ll likely regret it when he faces the Ruler on SmackDown this week.
