WWE Raw currently runs for about two hours per episode. This change took effect starting October 7, 2024, when WWE Raw was shortened from its previous three-hour format that had been in place since 2012. The two-hour format is set to continue through the end of 2024 while the show airs on USA Network, before moving to Netflix in January 2025. However, it is not yet clear if the two-hour length will remain once Raw transitions to Netflix, as WWE's Chief Content Officer Triple H has indicated the show’s length may vary based on content needs rather than a fixed time slot
. Recent episodes on Netflix have varied between about 1 hour 50 minutes to 2 hours 39 minutes, reflecting this flexible approach to runtime
. Previously, Raw was a consistent three-hour program on traditional TV for over a decade. In summary:
- Until October 6, 2024: 3 hours
- From October 7, 2024 to end of 2024: 2 hours
- From January 2025 on Netflix: variable, roughly around 2 hours but flexible
