WWE Announces Date and Ticket Info for Night of Champions 2026

Riyadh hosted Night of Champions this past June, and the event broke the previous U.S. viewership record for a WWE PLE held in Saudi Arabia.

The show was headlined by the now-retired John Cena defending his Undisputed WWE Championship against CM Punk. The Never Seen 17-Time World Champion successfully defended his title against the Best in the World after Seth Rollins attempted to cash in his Money in the Bank contract.

Cody Rhodes also won the King of the Ring Tournament that night by defeating his WrestleMania 42 opponent Randy Orton, and he eventually went on to win back the WWE Title from John Cena at SummerSlam.

Last year's edition of Night of Champions also featured Jade Cargill winning the Queen of the Ring Tournament, Solo Sikoa capturing the Men's United States Championship from Jacob Fatu and Rhea Ripley knocking off Raquel Rodriguez in a critically acclaimed Riyadh Boulevard Street Fight.

Night of Champions 2026 will be broadcast live in the United States on the ESPN app with an ESPN Unlimited plan, and internationally on Netflix. Tickets will go on sale Monday, April 27 via WeBook.

In 2027, Saudi Arabia will also host WrestleMania 43 in Riyadh, marking the first time the two-night extravaganza will be held outside of North America.
