The broadcast schedule for WWE RAW is slated for multiple alterations over the next three months, impacting viewers on Netflix internationally and its traditional domestic time slot. The changes will affect specific dates in August, September, and October, including a special live broadcast from Australia.
For the remainder of August, RAW will air live for its international audience on Netflix at 3 PM EST. This schedule applies to the August 25th episode and the broadcast following Clash in Paris. During this period, SmackDown will also be taped and aired earlier for the international Netflix audience, though it will maintain its standard time slot for viewers in the United States.
Following the August adjustments, a different shift is scheduled for three consecutive episodes in September. The RAW broadcasts on September 15, September 22, and September 29 are advertised to begin one hour earlier, at 7 PM EST. According to a report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, it is not yet confirmed if this first hour will be an untelevised segment for the live crowd or if the televised portion of the show will officially begin an hour early. The report also noted this is likely not a permanent change related to the NFL, as future RAW episodes are advertised for their regular start time.
The final announced change will take place on October 13, when RAW broadcasts live from Perth, Australia. This international event will result in a live airtime of 8 AM EST and 5 AM PST for viewers in the United States. That week’s episode of SmackDown will also air live from Australia at the same time but will be broadcast on a 12-hour delay in the U.S., airing at its usual time.
