The 42nd edition of WrestleMania will emanate from Las Vegas.
With the conclusion of Elimination Chamber 2026, the build towards WWE WrestleMania 42 has intensified with new feuds taking shape. The countdown for the show has begun, and WWE kicked it off in style as they started revealing the top 42 greatest moments in the PLE’s history.
The 42nd edition of WrestleMania will take place as a two-night event on April 18 and 19 at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.
The city will host the PLE for two consecutive years, after the original plan to hold the event in New Orleans, Louisiana, was scrapped.
Four world title matches have already been announced for the show, which will also mark the first WrestleMania to air on ESPN in the United States since the platform secured the broadcast rights last year before Wrestlepalooza.
As mentioned above, over the remaining days until Mania, the Stamford-based promotion will be counting down the 42 greatest Mania moments of all time. The matches will be uploaded to their official YouTube channel.
