Over the last few months there’s been a lot of speculation regarding the location for the 2026 Night of Champions premium live event, and it was confirmed today that the show will be heading to Saudi Arabia. WWE announced that Night of Champions will emanate from the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, June 27.
WWE issued the following:
“April 23, 2026 – The General Entertainment Authority and Riyadh Season, under the leadership of His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, in cooperation with WWE, today announced that Night of Champions will return to Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, June 27, 2026.
Riyadh hosted Night of Champions in 2025, which broke WWE’s U.S. viewership record for a Saudi Arabia event. This year’s edition will once again bring WWE’s biggest Superstars to the Kingdom as part of Riyadh Season’s world-class entertainment calendar.
His Excellency Turki Alalshikh said: “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.”

Night of Champions will broadcast live in the U.S. on the ESPN app with an ESPN Unlimited plan, and on Netflix internationally.
In 2027, Saudi Arabia will also host WrestleMania 43 in Riyadh, marking the first time the cultural phenomenon will be staged outside of the United States and Canada.”
