WrestleMania 43: Saudi Arabia will host the WWE mega event in 2027

WrestleMania Expands: Saudi Arabia to Host the Event in 2027

Attention wrestling fanatics! WrestleMania, WWE’s flagship event, will break boundaries and be presented for the first time outside of North America. In 2027, the city of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will host this spectacle, as part of the “Riyadh Season”. Since its inception in 1985, WrestleMania had been held exclusively in North American cities. However, the vision of taking the event global, anticipated by Paul “Triple H” Levesque, WWE’s Chief Creative Officer, will materialize.

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

The official announcement comes after the declaration of Turki Alalshikh, chairman of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, who mentioned the event in a live Snapchat video, now 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.

The event will be part of the “Riyadh Season” of 2027, with the ambition of taking WrestleMania to unprecedented levels. WWE has been holding events in Saudi Arabia since 2018, thanks to a billion-dollar deal that ensures multiple shows in the country for ten years. The next Royal Rumble, in 2025, will be the first of WWE’s “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, marking the second consecutive time that Las Vegas hosts the event.
