WrestleMania, WWE’s flagship annual event, is set to return to Las Vegas for the second consecutive year, with WrestleMania 42 scheduled for Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19, 2026. The announcement was made on June 11, 2025, in partnership with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA), confirming that the event will once again take place at the Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders.

This marks the third time Las Vegas will host WrestleMania, having previously held the event in 1993 (WrestleMania IX) and in 2025 (WrestleMania 41). The back-to-back hosting at Allegiant Stadium is a historic move, only the second time in WWE history that WrestleMania will be held at the same venue for two consecutive years—the first being WrestleMania IV and V in 1988 and 1989 in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

WrestleMania 41, held in April 2025, was the most successful and highest-grossing event in WWE history, drawing a record-breaking attendance of 124,693 fans over two nights. Building on this momentum, WWE President Nick Khan expressed excitement about returning to Las Vegas, calling it the “Sports and Entertainment Capital of the World” and praising the collaboration with LVCVA and Allegiant Stadium to deliver an even more spectacular WrestleMania experience in 2026.

In addition to the two nights of WrestleMania, WWE plans to bring a full slate of related events to Las Vegas during the WrestleMania week. These include Monday Night Raw, Friday Night SmackDown, NXT Stand & Deliver, the WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony, and WWE World—a multi-day interactive fan experience hosted in partnership with Fanatics Events. The week-long festivities will also feature various fan and community events designed to engage the local region and the global WWE Universe.

The decision to relocate WrestleMania 42 from New Orleans to Las Vegas was confirmed in May 2025. While New Orleans will no longer host WrestleMania 42, it is slated to host the Money in the Bank event in 2026 and is promised a future WrestleMania, though the timeline remains unspecified.

WrestleMania 42 promises to be an action-packed weekend with premium seating and hospitality packages available through exclusive partners, allowing fans to enjoy superstar appearances, photo opportunities, and other exclusive perks. Pre-registration for tickets and priority passes has already opened, giving fans early access ahead of the general public.
