What Shows Are On The USA Network

For people who have Directv, the USA Network is going to be on Channel 242.

That’s the right channel throughout the country.

Most of the time, the USA Network plays syndicated TV shows like Law and Order SVU and Chicago Fire but they also have some original content and sporting events.

In terms of original content, the most prominent currently airing shows on the USA Network are Chucky and Christley Knows Best.

The kind of sporting events you can watch on the USA Network today include the Premier League soccer events in the morning and some WWE events during the weekdays.

USA Network Channel DirecTV Schedule

The schedule for the USA Network on Directv and other satellite TV and cable networks is as follows.

During the daytime, the USA Network throws marathons of various syndicated shows they have the rights for the whole day.

The current shows are 911, Chicago Fire, Law and Order SVU, and Chicago PD.

Prime time is usually around 8PM.

Right now, the main original content on the USA Network is WWE Monday Night Raw, WWE NXT, and Chucky.

Some exciting news is that WWE Smackdown is going to the USA Network in 2024.

When there’s no WWE or a new show on, the network will sometimes play movies like the more recent Jurassic Park films or some Tyler Perry movies.

For weekends, the most prominent events take place in the morning and are soccer and Premier League related and Nascar events.

Watching Alternatives

In addition to Channel 242, Directv customers have two other ways to watch the USA Channel.

One is logging into the USA Network website/app with your Directv login and the other is Directv stream.

Directv stream in our opinion and experience is a much better option.

The reason for this is because it has fewer ads and you can navigate to other channels besides USA and the other channels that Comcast owns.

At least you have options – that wasn’t always the case.

The USA Network is still a key channel on the bundle and we hope that they can recapture some of that magic of the early 2000s.
