WWE Crown Jewel 2026: Date, Time, Preview & Announced Card

WWE Crown Jewel 2026 Announced Card

Two champion-vs.-champion matches are currently expected to headline the event following Money in the Bank:

Men’s Crown Jewel Championship
Roman Reigns (World Heavyweight Champion) vs. Sami Zayn (Undisputed WWE Champion)

Women’s Crown Jewel Championship
Liv Morgan (Women’s World Champion) vs. Chelsea Green (WWE Women’s Champion)

More matches are expected to be added to the card as Raw and SmackDown build toward the event.

Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Randy Orton and Penta are also featured on the promotional poster for Crown Jewel. Given the ongoing story between Rhodes and Orton, a one-on-one match between the two seems likely, potentially with a stipulation added to raise the stakes.

When Is WWE Crown Jewel 2026?

WWE Crown Jewel takes place Saturday, Nov. 7, from Riyadh Season Stadium at KAFD in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The show is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT in the United States.

That is a significantly earlier start than most WWE PLEs because of the time difference between Saudi Arabia and the United States.

What is the Crown Jewel Championship?

The Crown Jewel Championship is awarded annually to the winners of WWE’s champion-vs.-champion matches at Crown Jewel.

WWE introduced the concept in 2024, with the men’s and women’s world champions from Raw and SmackDown facing each other. The winners receive massive gold Crown Jewel Championship belts, though the titles are not regularly defended after the event.

Cody Rhodes and Liv Morgan became the inaugural Crown Jewel champions in 2024, followed by Seth Rollins and Stephanie Vaquer in 2025.

How to Watch WWE Crown Jewel 2026

Crown Jewel will stream live in the United States through the ESPN app with an ESPN Unlimited subscription.

Internationally, the event will stream on Netflix in markets where WWE programming is available on the service.

Is WWE Crown Jewel Still Taking Place in Saudi Arabia?

As of Oct. 12, WWE still lists Crown Jewel for Nov. 7 in Riyadh, and no change to the event has been announced.

However, the status of the trip has drawn increased attention following security concerns in Saudi Arabia.

For now, the event remains scheduled as announced.
