WWE NXT Rating, Audience Hit Highest Points Since February

This week’s WWE NXT had a reprieve from FIFA World Cup competition and hit five-month ratings and audience highs as a result. Tuesday night’s episode brought in a 0.12 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic and 691,000 viewers per Programming Insider. Those numbers are up 71.4% and 16.7% respectively from the previous week’s 0.07 demo rating and audience of 592,000.

The demo rating was the highest for the show since the February 10th episode also had a 0.12. Meanwhile, the total viewership was the best since the February 17th show had 744,000 viewers. America’s Got Talent on NBC led the way with a hefty 0.43 demo rating and 4.986 million viewers, followed by Masterchef on FOX (0.32 demo rating, 1.482 million)

As a reminder, Nielsen made an adjustment to its Big Data + Panel numbers in late January, and even the original Big Data + Panel ratings makes ratings difficult to compare to pre-change weeks. That said, WWE NXT is averaging a 0.086 demo rating and 600,000 viewers in 2026 compared to a 0.163 and 713,000 for the same time period in 2025.
