Where will WWE hold WrestleMania 42?
In January, reports emerged that WWE was likely planning to hold the 2026 edition of WrestleMania in New Orleans, LA. Now, WrestleVotes has confirmed that information, writing on social media:
Sources indicate WWE is planning on announcing WrestleMania 42’s location prior to this year’s event, with the highly speculated New Orleans, LA, as the host city. The Superdome (Silverdome, brother)—home of WM 30 & 34—is set to host its third Mania in 2026.
Fightful Select sheds more light on the situation, reporting that New Orleans has been the plan for 2026 for years. The idea dates back to the previous regime in WWE, but some thought plans might change as the location for WrestleMania 41 was in flux for some time before Las Vegas, NV was officially announced.
Additionally, Fightful Select reports that fans shouldn’t expect a WrestleMania to take place in Saudi Arabia or the UK until at least 2028.
