Fans in certain markets will have the chance to catch WWE Friday Night Smackdown and Big 12 college football live in the same weekend this fall.
As part of a partnership between the football conference and WWE, four episodes of Smackdown will head to Big 12 football markets in the coming months. The episodes will take place just one day before a game in that specific city takes place.
The events are all part of an expanded “multi-faceted” partnership between Big 12 and WWE, per an announcement made Wednesday.
The tour will start on August 22, when Smackdown heads to the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. A day later, Iowa State and Kansas State will meet in a special international matchup.
Then, a month later, the tour will pick back up with three stateside dates in October, heading to Ohio, Arizona, and Utah.
Here’s a look at all of the new Smackdown dates added as part of the schedule:
8/22/25: 3Arena, Dublin, Ireland (Ahead of Iowa State vs. Kansas State)
10/3/25: Heritage Bank Center, Cincinnati, Ohio (Ahead of Iowa State vs. Cincinnati)
10/24/25: Mullet Arena in Tempe, Arizona (Ahead of Houston vs. Arizona State)
10/31/25: Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah (Ahead of Cincinnati vs. Utah)
