Sky Sports has confirmed that changes will be made to WWE programming over the Christmas period.

This is due to the ongoing Darts World Championship that will be taking place from today and concluding on New Year’s Day. This has meant that the usual channel for WWE, Sky Sports Arena, has become Sky Sports Darts for this period.

Sky has outlined the following scheduling and channel changes:

Monday December 17: Raw will be on Sky Sports Mix at 1am, with the repeat the following day at 10pm on Sky Sports Action Tuesday December 18: SmackDown will be on Sky Sports Action at 1am, with the repeat the following day at 11pm also on Sky Sports Action Christmas Eve: Raw will be on Sky Sports Mix at 1am, with the repeat at midnight on Boxing Day on Sky Sports Mix Christmas Day: SmackDown will not air live but will be available at 1am via On Demand, at 10pm on Boxing Day on Sky Sports Mix, and with the repeat at 10pm on December 27 on Sky Sports Action New Year’s Eve: Raw will be on Sky Sports Action at 1am with the repeat at 9pm on Sky Sports Action on New Year’s Day. New Year’s Day: Smackdown will be at 1am on Sky Sports Action with the repeat at 10pm on Wednesday January 2. Then from the January 7 onwards everything reverts back and WWE returns to its traditional home on Sky Sports Arena.

It is also noted that if you record your WWE programming via the Series Link function, there’s a chance it may not track the channel changes, so is something to keep an eye on.
