Fox will offer live-streaming via FoxSports.com and the Fox Sports App no matter where you are located. So those on the west coast can watch live at 5 p.m. PT instead of waiting until 8 p.m. PT if they desire and have the correct authorization to use the streaming service. Episodes will also be available on-demand on the Fox Sports app for 30 days.

SmackDown will officially move to Fox beginning on Oct. 4 at 8 p.m. ET. A special Blue Carpet event is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on Oct. 4 to help ring in the big move.
