NXT UK was a brand of the American professional wrestling promotion WWE that was introduced in December 2016. Brands are divisions of WWE's roster where wrestlers are assigned to perform on a weekly basis. Wrestlers assigned to NXT UK primarily appeared on the brand's weekly television program, NXT UK, and the brand's periodic livestreaming events. The brand served as a sub-brand of WWE's developmental territory, NXT, with NXT UK wrestlers also occasionally appearing on its show, NXT, as well as NXT's major events. Unlike WWE's other brands, NXT UK was produced exclusively in the United Kingdom and was specifically centered on wrestlers from the country.
The brand went on hiatus following the Worlds Collide event on 4 September 2022. It will be relaunched as NXT Europe, expanding into a pan-European brand to include wrestlers from all European countries. The relaunch was originally to occur in 2023 but was delayed indefinitely due to the WWE–UFC merger as divisions of TKO Group Holdings, which was finalized in September 2023.
