If you’re in the UK and searching for what time SmackDown is on tonight, we’ve got you covered with all the details you need – start time, where to watch, full match card, and venue info.
WrestleMania 41 is just over a week away, and the final episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown before WWE’s biggest weekend of the year promises to deliver major moments and matches.
What Time Is SmackDown on Tonight UK?
WWE SmackDown will air live in the UK at 1:00 AM BST in the early hours of Saturday, April 12, 2025.
This is due to the five-hour time difference from the United States, where SmackDown is broadcast live every Friday at 8 PM Eastern Time.
The show is scheduled to run for three hours, concluding at 4:00 AM BST.
For UK fans, this means either staying up through the night or catching the replay at a more convenient time.

Where to Watch WWE SmackDown in the UK
Although SmackDown is broadcast on USA Network in the US, UK viewers can watch WWE SmackDown live on Netflix.
A standard Netflix UK subscription includes access to the live broadcast at no additional cost. The monthly subscription is currently priced at £5.99 and can be cancelled at any time.
If you’re unable to watch live, the full episode will also be available on demand shortly after the live broadcast ends, allowing you to catch up at a time that suits you.
This marks part of WWE’s new global partnership with Netflix, replacing previous UK broadcasts that aired on BT Sport.
Is SmackDown 2 or 3 Hours?
WWE SmackDown has a runtime of 3 hours. The show begins at 8 PM ET in the United States and airs from 1:00 AM to 4:00 AM BST for viewers in the UK.
While SmackDown traditionally was a two-hour weekly broadcast, it expanded to three hours in January 2025.
Where Is SmackDown Tonight?
Tonight’s SmackDown (April 11, 2025) will be broadcast live from the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington.
It will be the 10th episode of SmackDown at the venue, which has also previously hosted a couple of WWE’s pay-per-view events too.

Tiffany Stratton and Charlotte Flair are also expected to continue their tense build toward their WWE Women’s Championship match.
And finally, Randy Orton is without a WrestleMania opponent after an injury to Kevin Owens, but following his shocking RKO on General Manager Nick Aldis last week, there may be consequences in store.
WWE SmackDown Start Time UK
To summarise, SmackDown starts at 1:00 AM BST for viewers in the United Kingdom.
This time slot is consistent with WWE’s live broadcast schedule for Friday Night SmackDown throughout the year. The show typically finishes around 4:00 AM BST.
Whether you’re staying up late or catching up in the morning, you can stream the full episode live or on demand via Netflix UK with a standard subscription.
