Royal Rumble 2026 date announced

During the WrestleMania 43 announcement earlier today, the date for the Royal Rumble was also announced.

Previously, all advertising showed January 2026 but now, the date is revealed to be Saturday, January 31.

WWE is embarking on a European tour in early January, starting in Leipzig, Germany on January 8 and ending in Belfast, Northern Ireland on January 19. It’s unclear if the company will head back Stateside for the three remaining television broadcasts prior to the Rumble.

The arena or stadium where the Rumble will be taking place has still not been announced, nor any ticket information with four months to go.
