WWE Night of Champions is set to return to Saudi Arabia this summer.
WWE confirmed it will host the 2026 Night of Champions Premium Live Event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The promotion, along with The General Entertainment Authority and Riyadh Season, under the leadership of His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, announced that Night of Champions will take place on Saturday, June 27, 2026.
“We are proud to welcome Night of Champions back to Riyadh and look forward to delivering another unforgettable night of WWE action for fans in the Kingdom and around the world,” chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, Turki Alalshikh said.
This will be the third Night of Champions event to take place in Saudi Arabia. This follows events in 2023 and 2025. WWE also hosted 2024’s King and Queen of the Ring in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. However, the company did not run Night of Champions that year.
There was some doubt that the event would take place as scheduled due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. However, that doesn’t appear to be an issue currently. POST Wrestling first reported that the event would take place on June 27. Last month, Wrestlevotes Radio (via Fightful Select) said WWE sources believed in was “doubtful at best” that the event goes on as planned.
Tickets for WWE Night of Champions 2026 will go on sale Monday, April 27 at WeBook.com.
Night of Champions will air live in the U.S. on the ESPN app and on Netflix internationally.
In 2027, Saudi Arabia is also scheduled to host WrestleMania 43 in Riyadh. A recent report revealed the original location of that event, which would have been in the United States rather than overseas.
