Where is WWE SmackDown tonight? (Feb 17, 2023): Location, timings, match card, and more

Before the roster hits Elimination Chamber, the penultimate episode of WWE SmackDown may have some surprising additions in store for the premium live event. A total of five matches have been slotted in for the Saturday extravaganza so far.

The February 17, 2023, edition of Friday Night SmackDown will emanate from the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is a convenient option considering that the Elimination Chamber will occur at the same place the following night. Established in March 1996, the largest ice hockey arena in the world is home to the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League (NHL).

With a capacity of over 20,000 fans for sports entertainment, the Bell Centre has been the platform for multiple RAW and WWE SmackDown shows since the 1990s. It boasts a record of hosting three pay-per-views: Survivor Series 1997, No Way Out 2003, and Breaking Point 2009. It was also the place of the infamous Montreal Screwjob.

Brock Lesnar has good memories of the Montreal-based stadium. He made his WWE debut at the Bell Centre on the March 18, 2002, episode of RAW. The Beast Incarnate will be in action at the same spot for the Elimination Chamber show.
