On August 24, 2025, at Heatwave, it was announced that the sixth Halloween Havoc for the NXT brand, and 18th overall, would be held as a livestreaming event on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at the Findlay Toyota Center in Prescott Valley, Arizona. The event will be available to livestream on Peacock in the United States, Netflix in most international markets, and the WWE Network in any remaining countries that have not yet transferred to Netflix due to pre-existing contracts. This marks the first Halloween Havoc to livestream on Netflix following the WWE Network's merger under the service in January in those areas.[5] Beginning with Halloween Havoc in 2024, all major NXT events (with the exception of the 2025 Great American Bash & the 2025 No Mercy which was changed in promotional purposes) are branded solely with the WWE logo instead of the NXT logo. However while it was promoted as WWE, this was later changed with the addition of the NXT logo.

The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines. Results are predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand, while storylines are produced on WWE's weekly television program, NXT.[6][7]
