It looks like WWE has found a new home for SmackDown Live.
ESPN is reporting that FOX has reached an agreement with WWE to air SmackDown Live.
ESPN Senior Writer Darren Rovell is reporting that a deal was reached after FOX came to WWE with what was described as a “massive” offer. Specific terms of the agreement, past the point that the deal is scheduled to begin in October of 2019, are unknown as of this writing.
A representative for WWE declined to comment. A Fox spokesperson could not be reached for comment as well.
SmackDown Live has aired on NBCUniversal networks since October of 2010, as they called SyFy their weekly cable television home from 2010 to 2015 before moving to the USA Network in January of 2016, where they still broadcast live every Tuesday night.
In 2018, SmackDown Live averaged 2.59 million viewers per week.
