Overview
- The Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation confirmed WrestleMania 42 will not be held in New Orleans in April 2026 as previously announced.
- New Orleans will instead host UFC 318 in July 2025, Money in the Bank 2026, and a future WrestleMania under a new TKO Group multi-event agreement.
- Reports indicate Las Vegas is the frontrunner to host WrestleMania 42 for a second consecutive year after the event's record-breaking success at Allegiant Stadium in 2025.
- Other potential host cities include London, Indianapolis, and Riyadh, though no official decision has been announced by WWE.
- The relocation decision aligns with TKO Group’s strategy to prioritize site fees and incentives for major live events.
