WWE SmackDown Makes Historic Debut in Germany
In August 2024, WWE SmackDown is scheduled to be held in Germany, marking the inaugural occurrence of the event in the country.
WWE has revealed that the Friday, August 30, 2024, episode of SmackDown will take place at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany. Additionally, the same venue is set to host WWE’s Bash in Berlin premium live event the following night.
#SmackDown will emanate from Germany for the first time ever when @MBArenaBerlin hosts on the night before #WWEBash in Berlin on Friday, Aug. 30, 2024!

The Bash in Berlin event scheduled for 2024 will mark the first time Germany hosts a significant WWE PPV event. Backlash PLE event set for Lyon-Decines, France in May will be preceded by a SmackDown held at the same venue, LDLC Arena.
WWE has not yet disclosed any arrangements for the Friday preceding February’s Elimination Chamber event in Perth, Australia. Consequently, it’s anticipated that the February 23 SmackDown will likely be pre-recorded a week earlier from a location in the United States.
