For years, TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs was a fixture of WWE’s main-roster pay-per-view calendar. Now the chaotic concept is coming home to the developmental brand, as WWE confirmed during NXT Halloween Havoc on October 31, 2026 that NXT TLC arrives on Saturday, December 12, 2026.
A promotional graphic aired during the Halloween Havoc broadcast confirmed the date, venue and broadcast details: Orlando, Florida, starting at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT, airing on The CW as another major NXT television special to close out 2026.

NXT TLC December 12: Main-Roster Concept Finds New Home
The announcement is notable because TLC was historically tied to WWE’s main roster, with the stipulation-themed show holding a regular slot on the annual pay-per-view schedule. Handing the branding to NXT opens the door to dangerous stipulation matches built around the brand’s hungry young roster — tables, ladders and chairs are now very much in play for the December event.
Which NXT Rivalries Will Get the TLC Treatment?
WWE has not announced any matches for the December 12 show, so it remains unclear which championships or rivalries will be featured. But with several weeks of NXT television between Halloween Havoc and TLC, there is plenty of runway to build toward the show.
The fallout from Halloween Havoc — including Kelani Jordan’s women’s title defense and Shiloh Hill’s cinematic victory — could easily feed into December’s card. NXT’s end-of-year special now has a name, a date and a home: Orlando, on The CW, on December 12.
