WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas was the most successful, highest-grossing event in WWE history. So, it makes sense that the organization will double down on the City of Sin for WrestleMania 42. 

How to Watch

Watch WWE Friday Night SmackDown Fridays at 8/7c on USA Network.

That’s right, WWE fans, the biggest event in sports entertainment returns to Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium in 2026, marking this the third time the event has been held there. In addition to hosting the 2025 show, the biggest Superstars from 1993 also clashed in Las Vegas. However, it’s a new generation and a new world for WWE, and fans can expect all the spectacle and fanfare they got in 2025, plus a little extra. 

When is WrestleMania 42? 

In a special announcement during Monday Night RAW, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque confirmed that WrestleMania 42 will take place on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19, 2026. 

Offering a small taste of just how all-out WWE is planning to go this year, he delivered the news while standing on the roof of the massive Allegiant Stadium. 

“WrestleMania 41 was the most successful WrestleMania in history. We shattered every record from attendance to viewership. So, we’re running it back to the sports and entertainment capital of the world,” he said in the announcement video.

“Las Vegas helped to deliver the biggest WrestleMania of all time, shattering records and delivering an amazing week for fans around the world,” added Nick Khan, WWE President, in a press release. “We look forward to once again working with the talented and effective teams at the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and Allegiant Stadium to bring WrestleMania back to the Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World.”

It’s worth noting that a two-night spectacle is not all that’s on offer in Las Vegas come April 2026. In addition, the release notes WWE is bringing “Monday Night RAW, Friday Night SmackDown, Stand & Deliver and WWE World — a multi-day interactive fan experience hosted in partnership with Fanatics Events — to Las Vegas, as well as a variety of other fan and community events designed to give back to the local region.”

“We are honored that WWE has once again selected Las Vegas to host the biggest event on their calendar,” said Steve Hill, President and CEO of the LVCVA. “Bringing WrestleMania 42 to Las Vegas underscores our city’s reputation for elevating world-class events to new heights. We are excited to build on last year’s success and deliver an even more incredible experience for the WWE Universe in 2026.”
