Saturday Night’s Main Event returning to Madison Square Garden in July

Saturday Night’s Main Event is returning in July as WWE takes over Madison Square Garden in New York City for their third installment of 2026.

The news was announced last night during a commercial break on Raw, with Danhausen being the messenger.

The date will be July 18, just two months after WWE holds their second SNME of the year on May 23 in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The show will run on the same weekend as Fanatics Fest, running from July 16 to 19, at the Javits Center, where WWE will have a large presence.

Believe it or not, this is only the second Saturday Night’s Main Event to take place from Madison Square Garden. The first one was in August 2007, headlined by John Cena vs Carlito.

Tickets will go on sale starting Thursday, April 2 at 10AM ET via Ticketmaster. Fans can purchase tickets during an exclusive pre-sale starting now.

Saturday Night’s Main Event airs exclusively on Peacock in the United States and on YouTube internationally.
