WWE NXT will move to The CW in 2024.
WWE is entering a five year deal with the company that will begin in October 2024 to bring NXT to a broadcast television network for the first time since its inception in 2010.
“We are thrilled to welcome the WWE brand into the CW Sports portfolio as they play an integral role in our mission to bring live sporting events to the network year-round,” said Dennis Miller, President, The CW Network. “WWE NXT is a perfect fit for The CW thanks to its dynamic young talent featuring the hottest rising stars in the sport and exhilarating, unpredictable weekly events. The passion and engagement of WWE’s fanbase is unmatched, and we are eager to grow that audience as WWE NXT’s new home on broadcast television.”
“The CW has made impressive moves over the past year with its live sports programming schedule,” said Nick Khan, WWE President. “It’s a truly exciting opportunity to expand NXT’s audience by bringing the show to broadcast television for the first time in NXT’s history.”
NXT will join a growing list of live sports content that The CW is working to shift the network over to after being the primary source of teen dramas since 2006. Currently, The CW is home to ACC football and basketball, Inside the NFL, LIV Golf League, and 100 Days to Indy. Starting in 2025, The CW will be the home of the NASCAR Xfinity Series, the deal will run until 2031.
