The WWE is gearing up for an exciting return to Las Vegas as they announce that WrestleMania 42 will be held at Allegiant Stadium on April 18 and 19, 2026. This decision follows the spectacular success of WrestleMania 41, which set records and solidified Las Vegas as a hub for professional wrestling’s most significant event. The announcement was a key highlight during this week’s Monday Night RAW, capturing the attention of fans and the wrestling community alike.
WrestleMania Returns to the Entertainment Capital of the World
WWE, a subsidiary of TKO Group Holdings (NYSE: TKO), has officially partnered with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) to bring WrestleMania 42 back to Las Vegas. This milestone marks the third time the city will host WWE’s flagship event, having previously done so in 1993 and in 2025. The upcoming WrestleMania aims to once again captivate audiences with memorable matches and performances.
WrestleMania 41, held earlier this year, set a dazzling precedent by attracting an astounding 124,693 fans across two nights, earning the title of the most lucrative event in WWE’s storied history. The excitement surrounding the past event has no doubt contributed to WWE’s decision to return to the city, making WrestleMania 42 one of the most anticipated events in recent history.
A Grand Announcement
During Monday Night Raw, WWE Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque celebrated the announcement from the eye-catching vantage of Allegiant Stadium. His positioning atop the 195-foot structure symbolizes WWE’s ambitions and excitement for the event. The promotional video showcased both the grandeur of Las Vegas and the anticipation surrounding WrestleMania 42.
Nick Khan, WWE President, expressed enthusiasm about returning to the arena, stating, “Las Vegas helped to deliver the biggest WrestleMania of all time. We look forward to once again working with the talented and effective teams at the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and Allegiant Stadium.” His words highlight the partnership’s importance in executing another successful WrestleMania event.
Steve Hill, President and CEO of LVCVA, echoed this sentiment, noting the honor of hosting such a premier event. He acknowledged the city’s ability to elevate world-class gatherings, emphasizing the efforts to build upon the previous year’s success and to provide an unforgettable experience for fans.
