WWE WrestleMania 42 Made Official For Las Vegas

WWE WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas for the second year in a row is now official, with WWE announcing during Money in the Bank that WrestleMania 42 will emanate from Allegiant Stadium on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19, 2026.

WrestleMania 42 was originally scheduled to take place at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, to the point it was made official by The Rock in February 2025. It suddenly emerged in May, however, that WWE had pulled out and would be holding the 2026 WrestleMania in Sin City once again.

Before an official announcement could be made, however, a number of hurdles had to be cleared due to an unannounced concert taking place in Allegiant Stadium, which would give WWE little time to set up for WrestleMania. Part of the Las Vegas Convention Center was also booked for April 18 and April 19, which would have made WWE World smaller than it was in 2025. It was believed those hurdles had been cleared in recent days and the City of Las Vegas had made concessions to land WrestleMania.

WWE running Las Vegas for the second year in a row was ultimately because of money. 2026 will be the third time the city has hosted WrestleMania following WrestleMania IX and WrestleMania XL.
