WWE announces Night of Champions 2026 from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

War or no war, WWE is going to Saudi Arabia come June.

The company today officially announced that Night of Champions 2026 will take place from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, June 27 live from the Kingdom Arena.

Saudi Arabia was one of the countries hit by Iran during the war recently and there were doubts if the June show would take place in the region considering the unstable situation.

But those doubts were squashed today with the WWE announcement, marking the company’s second trip to the Kingdom for 2026 so far. A third show is expected to take place later in the year. Royal Rumble 2026 was also held there.

“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,” His Excellency Turki Alalshikh said.

Tickets will be sold via WeBook.com starting on Monday, April 27.
