WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia: WWE Breaks Barriers in 2027

WrestleMania Expands: Saudi Arabia to Host the Event in 2027

In an unprecedented move, WrestleMania, the pinnacle event of professional wrestling, is preparing to cross borders. The 2027 edition will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of the “Riyadh Season”. This announcement marks a significant milestone in the history of the spectacle. Since its creation in 1985, WrestleMania has been an exclusive event for North American cities. The decision to take it to Saudi Arabia reflects WWE’s ambition to expand its global reach.

This is an opportunity to show the world that WWE is a global brand that reaches every corner of the world and excites fans everywhere.

The official announcement comes after confirmation from the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, Turki Alalshikh, who revealed the news via a Snapchat video.

WrestleMania is already the most important date on the wrestling calendar, and this announcement marks a significant moment in our partnership with WWE. Our vision is to elevate this iconic event to unprecedented heights and deliver a WrestleMania like never before seen.

The relationship between WWE and Saudi Arabia has strengthened since 2018, with a billion-dollar deal that includes multiple events over a decade. The next Royal Rumble, in 2025, will be the first of WWE’s “Big Four” events to be held in the country.

Meanwhile, WrestleMania 42 will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on April 18 and 19, 2026, marking the second consecutive time the city hosts the event.
