When & where will WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 take place?

Plans for Elimination Chamber 2026 have reportedly been revealed.

WWE’s 2025 PLE calendar is nearly complete, with only two Saturday Night’s Main Event shows and the final premium live event, Survivor Series: WarGames, remaining. Fans have started to look at the 2026 calendar, which will kick off with the first Royal Rumble PLE.

WWE has already revealed the date and location for the Royal Rumble PLE; however, there is no update on Elimination Chamber. The reported date and location for the WWE Elimination Chamber 2026 Premium Live Event have now been revealed, as per a new report.

Elimination Chamber 2026 will emanate from Chicago

According to a report from Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, which has been confirmed by Wrestlenomics, the 2026 edition of Elimination Chamber is scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in the city of Chicago, Illinois.

There has been no confirmation or reports regarding the venue for the PLE. However, major WWE events in the area are typically held at the Allstate Arena. 

The event will return to the United States for the first time in five years with the reported Chicago show, breaking the recent pattern of the Elimination Chamber being held as a major international event.

The previous four editions took place outside the US: Toronto in 2025, Perth, Australia in 2024, Montreal, Canada in 2023, and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in 2022. The last US-based Elimination Chamber was held in St. Petersburg, Florida, during the ThunderDome era in 2021.

WWE has revealed the date for Royal Rumble 2026

During the WrestleMania 43 press conference, WWE revealed the date for Royal Rumble 2026, which is set to emanate from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The promotion had already announced the PLE for Saudi Arabia, but the date was revealed during the press conference. The event will take place on Saturday, January 31st, 2026, and, similar to WrestleMania 43, will be the first Royal Rumble PLE to take place outside of North America.
