WWE WrestleMania 43 Expected in Saudi Arabia 2027

WrestleMania 43 is set to be held in Saudi Arabia in 2027, marking the first time the event will take place outside North America, according to multiple reports and a leaked Arabic press release. The announcement was supported by Turki Alalshikh, chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, who publicly confirmed the news via Snapchat, though WWE has yet to make an official statement. This move comes amid WWE’s ongoing 10-year partnership with Saudi Arabia, which began in 2018 and includes hosting multiple annual events, such as the 2026 Royal Rumble. The deal is a significant financial arrangement for WWE, reportedly generating around $50 million per event from the Saudi government, contributing substantially to WWE's revenue. WWE insiders indicate the Saudi WrestleMania has been long-anticipated and the company is strategizing on how to manage its expanding global event portfolio. The upcoming official announcement is expected soon, further solidifying WWE’s international expansion and deepening ties with Saudi Arabia’s entertainment ambitions.
