The 2026 edition of Elimination Chamber will emanate from Chicago.
The Road to WrestleMania 42 intensifies as WWE presents the 16th edition of Elimination Chamber live tonight from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
The second premium live event of 2026 marks a significant return to the United States, becoming the first stateside Chamber since 2021 and the first in front of a live U.S. crowd since 2020.
It also ends a three-decade drought for major WWE events at the iconic United Center, which last hosted a historic SummerSlam in 1994.
This year’s card is stacked with championship implications and hometown star power. CM Punk defends the World Heavyweight Championship against Finn Balor before his anticipated WrestleMania clash with Roman Reigns.
Becky Lynch puts the Women’s Intercontinental Championship on the line against returning rival AJ Lee. Meanwhile, two high-stakes Elimination Chamber matches will determine the final challengers for Drew McIntyre’s Undisputed WWE Championship and Jade Cargill’s WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 42.
With fans tuning in globally, start times vary across regions. The event will air live in the United States during prime time, while viewers in India, the United Kingdom and Australia will watch in the early hours or Sunday morning depending on their time zone.
As anticipation builds, knowing when the Chamber doors lock in your region is essential for catching every second of the action-packed spectacle.
