Friday’s WWE SmackDown drew 1,379,000 viewers on USA Network, up from the prior week show’s 1,113,000 viewers on Syfy. That week’s show was notable for SmackDown returning to USA Network after being preempted to Syfy the prior two weeks due to USA Network’s commitments with the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
It drew a 0.34 rating in the 18-49 demographic, up from the prior week show’s 0.29 rating.
Last year’s SmackDown on February 28, 2025 drew 1,731,000 viewers and a 0.52 rating on USA Network. The March 1, 2024 episode drew 2,384,000 viewers on FOX.
