The promotion will kick off the year with the Royal Rumble event.
WWE kicked off 2026 with a three-hour show of SmackDown, followed by a Stranger Things-themed episode of Raw. On the developmental side, NXT delivered the 2026 edition of NXT New Year’s Evil. The promotion then delivered the first Premium Live Event (PLE) of 2026, which was the Royal Rumble PLE.
The event concluded Saturday, January 31, 2026, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of Riyadh Season, and will feature talent from both the Raw and SmackDown brands.
The Rumble event was followed by the Elimination Chamber in February, with the road leading to WrestleMania 42, which emanated on April 18 and 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Additionally, SummerSlam is scheduled for August 1 and 2 in Minneapolis, while Money in the Bank will emanate on September 6 from New Orleans, Louisiana.
