Short version — WWE Raw airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on Netflix, and the next episode is Monday, Oct. 26, from the Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif. The most recent one aired Monday, Oct. 19, from the Pechanga Arena in San Diego. No listing we checked on Tuesday, Oct. 20, shows a different start time for Oct. 26. Raw usually signs off between 10:20 and 10:30 p.m. ET.

When is the next WWE Raw, and where is it?

Date	Start (ET / PT)	Stream	Location	Note
Monday, Oct. 19	8 p.m. / 5 p.m.	Netflix	Pechanga Arena, San Diego	Aired
Monday, Oct. 26	8 p.m. / 5 p.m.	Netflix	Save Mart Center, Fresno, Calif.	Next Raw; listed as usual
Monday, Nov. 2	8 p.m. / 5 p.m.	Netflix	Barclays Center, Brooklyn	Raw and SmackDown double taping reported by Wrestling Inc (WWE's event calendar shows only the Brooklyn Raw); the Netflix listing we checked on Oct. 20 has no row for this date yet, so no start time is confirmed
Monday, Nov. 9	8 p.m. / 5 p.m.	Netflix	Bon Secours Wellness Arena, Greenville, S.C.	No Netflix listing row yet when we checked on Oct. 20
Monday, Nov. 16	8 p.m. / 5 p.m.	Netflix	Lenovo Center, Raleigh, N.C.	Listed as usual
Monday, Nov. 23	8 p.m. / 5 p.m.	Netflix	Intrust Bank Arena, Wichita, Kan.	Two Shows, One Night: RAW & SmackDown per WWE's event calendar; Netflix listing shows 8 p.m. ET

Where the Netflix listing has a row (Oct. 26, Nov. 16 and Nov. 23), it says 8 p.m. ET; the Nov. 2 and Nov. 9 rows are blank for now. The buildings match WWE's own event calendar. If a row changes, we change it here and on our start times page.

What time does WWE Raw start on Monday, Oct. 26?

8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific. WWE's schedule card, which we read on Tuesday, Oct. 20, reads "Monday at 8 ET/5 PT on Netflix," and the Netflix listing on The Futon Critic has Oct. 26 at 8:00 PM.

Raw is one live stream, not a TV feed that gets delayed by region. So the West Coast doesn't wait for a replay at 8 p.m. local. It's 5 p.m. in Los Angeles while it's 8 p.m. in New York, which puts the opening at 7 p.m. Central and 6 p.m. Mountain.

WWE Raw's next episode: Monday, Oct. 26, at 8 p.m. ET on Netflix from Fresno, Calif., after San Diego on Oct. 19 — Raw's stops: San Diego on Monday, Oct. 19, then Fresno on Oct. 26.

What time does Raw end?

There's no fixed end. Netflix doesn't have a show waiting behind it, so Raw runs until it's done.

We went through the logged runtimes on TVmaze. Sept. 14 ran 151 minutes, Sept. 21 ran 147, Sept. 28 and Oct. 5 each ran 142, and the Oct. 19 show in San Diego is logged at 139. That puts a finish somewhere between 10:19 and 10:31 p.m. ET.

Has Raw's start time changed this year?

Seven times in 2026, by our count of the listings. Five were afternoon shows from Europe. The other two were 6 p.m. ET starts in North America.

Date	Start (ET)	Where (per TVmaze)
Monday, Jan. 12	2 p.m.	Düsseldorf, Germany
Monday, Jan. 19	3 p.m.	Belfast, Northern Ireland
Monday, June 1	2 p.m.	Turin, Italy
Monday, June 8	2 p.m.	Paris
Monday, June 22	2 p.m.	London
Monday, June 29	6 p.m.	Atlantic City, N.J.
Monday, Aug. 24	6 p.m.	Ottawa, Ontario

Netflix announced the European times in its own schedule posts. For the Aug. 24 show, Wrestling-Online reported that Raw began at 6 p.m. ET "due to a double taping" in Ottawa.

Two dates to watch: Monday, Nov. 2, in Brooklyn, and Monday, Nov. 23, in Wichita, Kan. WWE's event calendar calls the Wichita night "Two Shows, One Night: RAW & SmackDown," and Wrestling Inc reported the Brooklyn night as a double taping ahead of the trip to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel. The Netflix listing showed 8 p.m. ET for Nov. 23 when we checked on Tuesday, Oct. 20, but had no row yet for Nov. 2. We found no WWE or Netflix announcement of a different time for either night. Until one is published, 8 p.m. ET is the usual slot, not a confirmed Nov. 2 time.

How do I watch Raw on Netflix, and does my plan matter?

Your plan doesn't matter. Netflix's help center says live events come with every plan at no added cost, though it also says live programming can carry commercial breaks on all of them. We read that page on Oct. 1 at 4:45 a.m. ET.

Raw isn't the only show with a schedule quirk in October. Over on TBS, AEW Dynamite moved to a Tuesday on Oct. 6 and aired a combined Dynamite and Collision show on Wednesday, Oct. 14; that page and the rest of our AEW coverage track the change. Raw, SmackDown and NXT pages collect on our WWE page.

👉 Next Raw: Monday, Oct. 26, 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on Netflix from Fresno.

FAQ

Is there a new WWE Raw on Monday, Oct. 26? Yes. WWE's schedule card has Raw every Monday at 8 p.m. ET, and WWE's event calendar has a Raw booked at the Save Mart Center in Fresno for that date. The most recent episode aired Monday, Oct. 19, from San Diego.
