WrestleMania 43 moves to Saudi Arabia in 2027: An historic event!

WrestleMania Expands: Saudi Arabia to Host the Event in 2027

For the first time in its history, WrestleMania, the pinnacle event of professional wrestling, will take place outside of North America. The 2027 edition will be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of the “Riyadh Season” according to WWE’s announcement last Friday. Since its inception in 1985, WrestleMania has been held exclusively in North American cities. Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE’s Chief Creative Officer, had hinted at the possibility of taking the company’s most important event abroad, and now that vision is materializing.

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

The official announcement comes a few days after Turki Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, revealed the news via a live video on Snapchat, which has already been deleted.

WrestleMania is already the most important date on the wrestling calendar, and this announcement marks a significant moment in our partnership with WWE. We deeply respect the legacy of WrestleMania and the global prestige it holds among wrestling fans worldwide.

WWE has been holding events in Saudi Arabia since 2018, thanks to a $1 billion deal with the Kingdom, which includes the realization of multiple events over a decade. Next year’s Royal Rumble will be the first of WWE’s four “Big Four” events to be held in Saudi Arabia.

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