Friday’s WWE SmackDown drew 1,113,000 viewers on Syfy, up from the prior week show’s 1,042,000 viewers. That week’s show was notable for SmackDown being preempted to Syfy due to USA Network’s commitments with the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
It drew a 0.29 rating in the 18-49 demographic, up from the prior week show’s 0.26 rating.
Last year’s SmackDown on February 21, 2025 drew 1,736,000 viewers and a 0.51 rating on USA Network. The February 23, 2024 episode drew 2,272,000 viewers on FOX.
