WWE SmackDown, auch bekannt als Friday Night SmackDown oder einfach SmackDown, ist eine US-amerikanische Wrestling-Show, die von WWE produziert wird und derzeit jeden Freitag um 20 Uhr live auf Fox ausgestrahlt wird. Die Show gilt derzeit neben Raw als eine von zwei Flaggschiff-Shows der WWE. Seit der Wiedereinführung der Brand Extension im Jahr 2016 treten Wrestler wieder exklusiv für Raw oder SmackDown auf. SmackDown! debütierte am 29. April 1999 auf UPN und wurde früher am Donnerstagabend ausgestrahlt. Die Show wurde am 9. September 2005 auf Freitagabend verschoben und wechselte, nach der Fusion von UPN und The WB, im September 2006 zu The CW. Im Oktober 2008 wechselte die Show zu MyNetworkTV. Am 1. Oktober 2010 wechselte SmackDown zu Syfy und kehrte am 15. Januar 2015 wieder zum Donnerstagabend zurück. Die Show wechselte dann am 7. Januar 2016 zum USA Network und später in diesem Jahr, beginnend am 19. Juli 2016, begann SmackDown mit der Live-Übertragung am Dienstagabend. Der Wechsel von SmackDown zu FOX am 4. Oktober 2019 markierte die Rückkehr der Show zum Freitagabend. Aktuelle Folgen sind 30 Tage nach dem ursprünglichen Ausstrahlungsdatum On-Demand auf dem WWE Network verfügbar. In Deutschland sendet ProSieben Maxx jeden Samstagabend eine aktuelle Folge für den deutschsprachigen Markt.
