WWE has announced an upcoming Tuesday night edition of SmackDown, taking place at the O2 Arena in London, England on June 23.

That date is one of two new additions to the upcoming European tour schedule, as well as a live event at Utilita Arena in Sheffield on June 24.

The listing still names the show as ‘Friday Night SmackDown,’ so it appears it may still air on Friday, just being taped on the Tuesday, which is the day after Raw also takes place at the O2.

Typically, European shows aired live on Netflix and on delay on USA Network in the US, but that’s when they’ve been taped on the same day a few hours earlier, not several days prior.

WWE announced today:

May 7, 2026 – WWE today announced that SmackDown will head to London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday, June 23, the night after Raw emanates from the same venue.

Additionally, Sheffield’s Utilita Arena will host a live event as part of WWE’s upcoming European Summer Tour on Wednesday, June 24,

Fans can purchase tickets for SmackDown in London and the event in Sheffield during an exclusive presale starting on Tuesday, May 12, at 10am BST. Tickets will be available on general sale starting Thursday, May 14, at 10am BST by visiting www.wwe.com/events.

The new dates for London and Sheffield join the previously announced European Summer Tour which will see events across May and June in the UK, Spain, France, Portugal and WWE’s first-ever Premium Live Event in Italy.
