United Center in Chicago to host the 2026 Elimination Chamber

WWE today announced that the 2026 Elimination Chamber premium live event will be held on Saturday, February 28 live from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.

While WWE is a regular in the Chicago market, this will mark the first time since SummerSlam 1994 that WWE has run the United Center, the home of the Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Blackhawks. WWE typically runs its shows at the Allstate Arena in the neighboring Rosemont.

“Famous for its phenomenally passionate fans, Chicago is a city that WWE Superstars consistently circle on the calendar every year,” said Alex Varga, Co-Head of Revenue, WWE. “We look forward to bringing our first Premium Live Event to the United Center in more than 30 years in partnership with Choose Chicago, whose work continues to solidify the city’s position as a world-class sports and entertainment destination.”

“WWE’s highly anticipated return to the United Center is going to electrify Chicago,” said Kristen Reynolds, President and CEO of Choose Chicago. “Major live events like this showcase Chicago as a year-round destination, filling our hotels, restaurants, and arenas with fans from around the country and broadcasting our energy and hospitality to millions more tuning in. Thank you to WWE for choosing Chicago—this is another win for our city and a testament to why no one does big moments better than we do.”

“More than 30 years ago, the United Center opened its doors with a historic SummerSlam event, and we’re thrilled to welcome the return of a WWE Premium Live Event to the arena,” said Joe Myhra, EVP and COO of the United Center. “We look forward to once again showcasing WWE’s incredible talent and bring fans from across the country together for an unforgettable night in Chicago.”

Tickets for Elimination Chamber will go on sale starting Thursday, November 20 at 10AM CT via Ticketmaster.com. Fans can purchase tickets during an exclusive presale by visiting Ticketmaster.com starting Wednesday, November 19 at 10AM CT.
