Friday’s WWE SmackDown drew 1,038,000 viewers on USA Network, down from the prior week show’s 1,089,000 viewers. That week’s show was notable for SmackDown airing at its usual live timeslot on USA Network following the prior week’s show airing at an earlier than usual start time on Netflix internationally and being on a tape delay in the United States due to it airing live in Italy.
It drew a 0.20 rating in the 18-49 demographic, down from the prior week’s 0.24 rating.
In terms of notable sports competition, the 2026 FIFA World Cup game of United States vs. Paraguay drew 18,037,000 viewers on FOX.
Last year’s SmackDown on June 13, 2025 drew 1,401,000 viewers and a 0.38 rating on USA Network. The June 14, 2024 episode drew 1,959,000 viewers on FOX.
