WWE Is Planning To Hold Night Of Champions In Saudi Arabia This Summer

WWE is doing a European Summer Tour at the end of May and beginning of June, which includes Clash in Italy on May 31st. The Premium Live Event will take place at the Unipol Arena in Bologna, Italy. This marks a return to the country for a major event, as WWE continues its strategy of hosting international stadium and arena shows throughout the year.

Following Clash in Italy, it appears that the next Premium Live Event on the calendar is going to be Night of Champions. BodySlam.net reports Night of Champions is currently tentatively scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia on June 27th. The event is expected to be held in Jeddah, continuing WWE’s long-term partnership with the Saudi General Entertainment Authority.

The company recently held its 2026 Royal Rumble in Riyadh, which featured the debut of Royce Keys and the crowning of new Royal Rumble winners. Historically, the Saudi Arabian events have been a major financial driver for the company, and the June date for Night of Champions would fall in the middle of the second quarter.

In 2024, the company held a similar tour leading into Backlash France, which saw record-breaking gates for the promotion. Her eis the confirmed 2026 WWE PLE schedule thus far:

  • Feb 28: Elimination Chamber (Chicago, IL)
  • April 19-20: WrestleMania 42 (Las Vegas, NV)
  • May 9: Backlash (Tampa, FL)
  • May 31: Clash in Italy (Turin, Italy)
  • Aug 1-2: SummerSlam (Minneapolis, MN)
  • Sept 6: Money in the Bank (New Orleans, LA)
