WrestleMania 43: WWE Brings the Event to Saudi Arabia in 2027

WrestleMania Expands: Saudi Arabia to Host the Spectacle in 2027

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

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 after the statements of Turki Alalshikh, president of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, who confirmed the news through a video on Snapchat.

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 association between WWE and Saudi Arabia dates back to 2018, with a billion-dollar agreement that contemplates the realization of multiple events in the country over a decade. The next Royal Rumble, in 2025, will be the first of the “Big Four” WWE 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 the city will host the event.
