NXT Halloween Havoc 2026 (also promoted as NXT Halloween Havoc: Orlando) is an upcoming professional wrestling premium live event (PLE) and television special produced by WWE for its developmental brand, NXT. It is WWE’s seventh annual Halloween Havoc for NXT and the 19th Halloween Havoc event overall.
The event takes place on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. It will be simulcast on The CW’s linear channel and ESPN Unlimited in the United States, marking the first Halloween Havoc to air on both services. Danhausen is the host.
Background
Halloween Havoc is a professional wrestling event first held in 1989 as part of October’s Halloween festivities. It was originally produced as an annual pay-per-view by World Championship Wrestling (WCW) from 1989 to 2000. After WWE acquired WCW in 2001, the event was revived as an annual NXT show beginning in 2020.
The 2020, 2021, and 2023 editions aired as television specials of the NXT program on the USA Network. The 2022 event was a premium live event, the 2023 edition spanned two nights, and it returned as a one-night PLE in 2024.
On August 30, 2026, at Heatwave, NXT General Manager Robert Stone announced that the seventh NXT Halloween Havoc (and 19th overall) would take place on Saturday, October 31, coinciding with Halloween. Danhausen was revealed as the host on the October 13 episode of NXT.
Broadcast
In the United States, the event will air as a television special on The CW’s linear channel—the first Halloween Havoc on the network—following the shift of NXT PLEs to The CW in June 2026 after WWE’s Peacock agreement for those events ended. Per a deal between ESPN and The CW, CW Sports broadcasts (including NXT programming) have been simulcast on The CW and ESPN Unlimited since August 4, 2026. ESPN Unlimited has carried WWE’s main-roster PLEs since September 2025.
Outside the United States, the event will air on SuperSport in Sub-Saharan Africa and on Netflix in most other territories.
