Friday Night SmackDown will move networks during USA Network’s coverage of the Winter Olympics.
The Olympics will begin on February 6 and run until February 22 in Italy, and will include 24/7 coverage on the USA Network, which is the domestic broadcaster of Friday Night SmackDown.
Due to the Olympics, SmackDown is set to air on Syfy on Friday, February 13 & February 20 in its regular three-hour format from 8 – 11 p.m. ET, which a spokesperson from USA Network confirmed to POST Wrestling.
The February 13 edition of SmackDown airs from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, and the following week’s episode takes place in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at the FLA Live Arena.
SmackDown returns to the USA Network on February 27 in Kentucky on the night before the Elimination Chamber premium live event.
Thanks to Devin Cutting for the initial tip that SmackDown was not listed on the USA Network’s schedule during those two weeks
