WWE has confirmed that SmackDown will expand from two to three hours, starting with its first broadcast of 2025.

In a post on WWE.com that sets out where to watch its weekly programming, the company stated:

SmackDown continues to air on USA Network every Friday night at 8/7 C in the U.S. At the start of 2025, SmackDown will expand to three hours starting with the Jan. 3 episode from Phoenix, Arizona.

SmackDown moved from FOX to the USA Network in September in a five-year deal. No details are yet known of a supplementary deal between USA and WWE for the extra hour of content per week.

WWE has not confirmed the weekly runtime for Raw, which debuts on Netflix worldwide on January 6th.
