WWE

The date for the upcoming 2026 WWE Royal Rumble event taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia has now been confirmed.

Today, WWE announced WrestleMania 43 in 2027 is heading to Riyadh.

During the announcement, Triple H also confirmed the date for Royal Rumble 2026.

WWE had already announced a while ago that the 2026 Rumble would be taking place in Riyadh, but hadn’t confirmed a specific date.

During his speech to introduce the WrestleMania news, Triple H stated that the Rumble will take place on January 31.

This seems to rule out, at least for the time being, speculation of Royal Rumble becoming a two-night event, but it isn’t like that couldn’t change.

The 2025 Royal Rumble matches were won by Jey Uso and Charlotte Flair, who went on to challenge GUNTHER and Tiffany Stratton at WrestleMania 41.

Uso defeated GUNTHER for the World Heavyweight Championship, while Stratton retained her WWE Women’s Championship against Flair.

Early betting odds have Sami Zayn as the favorite to win the 2026 men’s Rumble, followed by Bron Breakker and CM Punk.

The favorite for the women’s Rumble is Bianca Belair, followed by Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez.
