WWE Updates 2026 PLE Schedule, Announces Clash in Italy

WWE may be in the heart of WrestleMania season, but one thing about this company has always remained true: there is no off-season. The machine never stops.

For most of my lifetime, the WWE PLE schedule (formerly known as pay-per-view) was predictable. Dates were locked in early. Most events were held in the United States. International shows felt special and rare.

That has changed under TKO leadership. The PLE calendar is more fluid, and even so-called “regular” events are increasingly becoming international destinations.

WWE announced today that its latest “Clash” event will take place Sunday, May 31, 2026, at the Inalpi Arena in Turin — marking the company’s first-ever PLE in Italy.

What Is WWE’s 2026 PLE Schedule?

While WWE has not released a complete schedule for the year, here is what has been confirmed so far:

  • Saturday, Feb. 28 – Elimination Chamber (Chicago)
  • Saturday, April 19 & Sunday, April 20 – WrestleMania 42 (Las Vegas)
  • Saturday, May 9 – Backlash (Tampa)
  • Sunday, May 31 – Clash in Italy (Turin)
  • Saturday, Aug. 1 & Sunday, Aug. 2 – SummerSlam (Minneapolis)
  • Sunday, Sept. 6 – Money in the Bank (New Orleans)

Notably, the location for Survivor Series has not yet been announced. There has also been speculation that the event could move to a two-night format. If WWE continues using the WarGames structure, splitting the men’s and women’s matches across two nights would be a logical evolution.

As for Money in the Bank, New Orleans was originally slated to host WrestleMania 42 before WWE pivoted back to Las Vegas.

Additional events — particularly in June, July, and October — are still expected to be announced. Given the company’s recent direction, at least one more international show feels likely.

Clash in Italy Tickets

Clash in Italy is part of WWE’s newly announced European Summer Tour. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 13, with pre-sale on March 11.

WWE has advertised appearances by CM Punk, Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes, Stephanie Vaquer, Jade Cargill, The Usos, GUNTHER, Sami Zayn, and Liv Morgan.

Athlon Sports will provide full watch information and live coverage for every PLE.
