WWE had initially scheduled the January 2, 2026 episode of SmackDown to take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and the January 5, 2026 episode of RAW at the KeySpan Arena in Buffalo, New York. However, the company has now decided to change these locations.
According to PWInsider.com, the January 2 episode of SmackDown will now be held in Buffalo, while the January 5 episode of RAW will take place in Brooklyn. The report did not specify the reason for the location switch, but fans who wish to obtain a refund can do so at their point of purchase.
These events will mark WWE’s first television shows in 2026. Following these dates, WWE will tour Europe, with the next SmackDowns scheduled for the Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany, on January 9 and the OVO Arena in London, England, on January 16. The upcoming RAWs will be hosted at the PSD Bank Dome in Düsseldorf, Germany, on January 12 and The SSE Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on January 19.
