The Stamford-based promotion is gearing up for the first Premium Live Event of 2026, the Royal Rumble. The event will officially begin the road to WrestleMania 42, as major storylines and feuds start to take shape ahead of the ‘Grandest Stage.’
The 39th edition will take place on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of Riyadh Season.
The 2026 edition will mark the first traditional Royal Rumble ever held outside North America, the 14th WWE event hosted in Saudi Arabia under the company’s decade-long partnership supporting Saudi Vision 2030.
It will also be the second event in the country to include a Rumble match following the Greatest Royal Rumble in 2018, and the first of WWE’s “Big Five” events to be staged there.
Additionally, this will be WWE‘s first PLE in the country since Night of Champions 2025, which took place on June 28, 2025, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
