The WrestleMania 43 date could be announced around Crown Jewel on November 7 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, if WWE does not reveal it before then.
Fightful Select reports there is hope the announcement will come in that window, and that a WWE source cited WrestleMania’s plans in Saudi Arabia as the reason the company has taken longer than usual to announce the date. The outlet wrote the following.
“There is hope that the WrestleMania 43 date will be announced around WWE Crown Jewel in Riyadh on November 7, if it isn’t revealed beforehand. A WWE source said WrestleMania’s Saudi Arabia plans are why the date has been announced later than usual. Saudi representatives have also been visiting WWE HQ recently for kickoff meetings.”
The report adds that sources on the Saudi side want WrestleMania 43 to be as big as possible, and that Saudi representatives were at WWE headquarters a few weeks ago for initial meetings about the event.
Setup for Crown Jewel begins this week at Riyadh Season Stadium, a temporary open-air venue in the King Abdullah Financial District.
Even so, the situation in the Middle East remains a concern. According to PWInsider, WWE has discussed contingency plans for Crown Jewel, but company sources said it is still too early to pick alternate U.S. locations for WrestleMania 43.
WWE confirmed on September 12, 2025, that WrestleMania 43 will be held in Riyadh in 2027, making it the first WrestleMania to take place outside North America. As previously reported, WrestleVotes Radio reported in April that March 27 was the primary date under consideration, with the week of April 10 as an alternative.
As of this writing, WWE has not officially confirmed the date.
