Following the announcement earlier today that WWE SmackDown will be airing live on the USA Network from July 19th, Sky Sports in the United Kingdom and Ireland have announced that the show will also air live at the same time as the USA Network broadcast.

In regards to the announcement, Sky Sports released the following statement, “We are delighted that WWE, one of our longest standing partners, will be broadcasting SmackDown live and Sky Sports will be broadcasting this across our platforms and services to our customers live on a Tuesday night. Alongside live coverage of RAW on Mondays, this further strengthens Sky Sports as the home of WWE in the UK and Ireland. Viewers will also be able to keep up with WWE content via multiple repeat broadcasts and across catch-up services.”

The current WWE and Sky deal runs until 2019.
