Overview
- Dave Meltzer’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter first reported the Chicago date, with Wrestlenomics corroborating the Feb. 28, 2026 target.
- Wrestlenomics identifies Allstate Arena as the likely venue, while ClutchPoints notes the building lists another event that night and that the United Center appears open.
- WWE has not announced the event, so the date and site remain reported rather than official.
- Coverage frames the event as following a Jan. 31 Royal Rumble in Riyadh and preceding WrestleMania 42 on April 18–19 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
- If finalized in Chicago, it would be the first Elimination Chamber held in the United States since 2021 and the first U.S. edition with a live audience since 2020.
