WWE Smackdown Rating & Audience Back Up In Return To FOX

WWE Smackdown made its return to Fox last week after a one-week move to FOX Soorts 1 and the ratings & audience were predictably back up. Friday’s show brought in a 0.53 rating in the 18 – 49 demographic and 2.119 million viewers per TV Sports Ratings. Those numbers are up 51.4% and 81.1% respectively from the previous week’s 0.35 demo rating and audience of 1.145 million on FOX Sports 1.

Outside of last week’s show, which was obviously on a much-less seen cable network, Smackdown had its lowest demo rating and audience in eight weeks, since the September 8th episode also had a 0.53 and 2.094 million viewers.

Smackdown is averaging a 0.600 demo rating and 2.273 million viewers in 2023, compared to a 0.513 demo rating and 2.121 million viewers for the same time period in 2022.
