Add as a preferred source on Google WWE’s 2026 schedule in Saudi Arabia may not be finished yet. After Royal Rumble and Night of Champions, the company could still run another major event in the country before the end of the year.
According to Fightful Select, there is an expectation that WWE will hold one more premium live event in Saudi Arabia later this year if everything follows the original plan. The report lines up with a previous update that WWE was working with three Saudi Arabia events for 2026: Royal Rumble in January, with two additional shows planned for the middle and end of the year.
The first of those events already took place on January 31, when Riyadh hosted Royal Rumble, marking the first time the event was held outside North America.

The second is Night of Champions, taking place this Saturday, June 27, at Kingdom Arena, again in Riyadh. The event was also held in the same city in 2025, when it set WWE’s U.S. viewership record for its Saudi Arabia shows.
There is still no confirmation on the name, date, or venue for the possible third event. However, November had previously been mentioned as an internal window, which naturally draws attention because of its traditional connection to Survivor Series.
WWE’s relationship with Saudi Arabia is also at its strongest point yet. Beyond the three events planned for 2026, WrestleMania 43 has already been announced for Riyadh in 2027 as part of Riyadh Season.
