How to Watch NXT on USA Network: Full Match Card, Live Stream and More

WWE is pulling out all the stops for NXT’s first two-hour live episode on Wednesday.

The company made the major decision in August to move the show from its previous tape-delayed spot on the WWE Network streaming service to a live, two-hour slot on USA Network in response to upstart All Elite Wrestling’s launch on TNT, also on Wednesday nights. AEW’s Dynamite makes its long-awaited debut this Wednesday.

NXT made its USA Network debut on Sept. 18 but the first two episodes aired for only one hour on USA, with the second hour on the WWE Network, due to a programming conflict on USA. This week’s broadcast marks the first time that both hours will air on USA. It will air with limited commercial breaks.

The show is loaded with marquee matches, as three of the brand’s four championships will be on the line.

How to watch

Location: Winter Park, Fla.

Time: 8 p.m. ET

TV channel: USA Network

Live stream: Watch (through your cable provider) on USANetwork.com or download the USA app.
