WWE Raw will have three different broadcast times in the coming weeks

WWE Raw will change its start times over the next few weeks, in an attempt to adapt to the NFL season and the company's international schedule with Netflix.

This Monday the show will start at 7 p.m. ET, one hour earlier than usual. However, this will not be a permanent adjustment. On the broadcasts of October 6, 20, and 27, Raw will return to its traditional 8 p.m. ET time slot. The main reason is logistical: in cities like Dallas, Sacramento, or Anaheim, forcing fans to enter the arena at 4 p.m. on a Monday would be unfeasible.

The most striking change will come on October 13, when Raw will be broadcast from Australia after the Crown Jewel event. That day, the show will have an unusual start time: 8 a.m. ET (2 p.m. in Spain) to accommodate the time difference.

Sources close indicate that WWE and Netflix will continue to evaluate these adjustments and do not rule out regularly changing the start time of Raw based on key markets. For now, the company is analyzing whether episodes from Boston and the Madison Square Garden in New York will also have schedule changes.

These trials reflect WWE's search to maintain audience interest in the midst of competition with the NFL and at the same time adjust to its growing international schedule. Tonight, Monday Night Raw will take place in Raleigh, North Carolina, and will feature a match between Dominik Mysterio and Rusev for the Intercontinental Championship.
