The CW Network will become the official broadcast home to WWE NXT starting in October 2024.
WWE NXT showcases the professional wrestling league’s up-and-coming talent, and this marks the first time that WWE NXT will be seen on a broadcast television network. The Stamford-headquartered WWE signed a five-year agreement with the network, which will present the NXT events on a weekly schedule.
“We are thrilled to welcome the WWE brand into the CW Sports portfolio as they play an integral role in our mission to bring live sporting events to the network year-round,” said Dennis Miller, President, The CW Network. “WWE NXT is a perfect fit for The CW thanks to its dynamic young talent featuring the hottest rising stars in the sport and exhilarating, unpredictable weekly events. The passion and engagement of WWE’s fanbase is unmatched, and we are eager to grow that audience as WWE NXT’s new home on broadcast television.”
“The CW has made impressive moves over the past year with its live sports programming schedule,” said Nick Khan, WWE President. “It’s a truly exciting opportunity to expand NXT’s audience by bringing the show to broadcast television for the first time in NXT’s history.”
