WWE’s 2026 Premium Live Event schedule is starting to take shape — and the next major stop after Italy appears to be heading back to Saudi Arabia.
According to BodySlam.net on February 19, 2026, WWE’s upcoming European Summer Tour will wrap around the end of May and early June, featuring Clash in Italy on May 31 at the Inalpi Arena in Turin. But that’s not where the international push stops. It was noted that the next Premium Live Event currently penciled in after Clash in Italy is Night of Champions — and it’s tentatively scheduled for June 27 in Saudi Arabia.
"Following Clash in Italy, it appears that the next PLE on the calendar is going to be Night of Champions. Night of Champions is currently tentatively scheduled to take place in Saudi Arabia on June 27th."
If that date holds, WWE will return to the Kingdom less than five months after hosting the Royal Rumble on January 31 in Riyadh. That event marked the first time the Royal Rumble took place in Saudi Arabia and featured major moments, including Roman Reigns and Liv Morgan winning their respective Rumble matches, as well as the debut of Royce Keys.
WWE’s partnership with Saudi Arabia began in 2018 and typically included two large-scale events per year. That number was reduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, and 2025 featured only one Saudi-hosted event, Night of Champions. With Royal Rumble already completed and Night of Champions tentatively slotted for June 27, the company appears to be returning to its older schedule.
The tentative scheduling shows that the company is locking in its summer calendar — with Italy kicking things off and Saudi Arabia following shortly after. If finalized, that would mark another major international stretch for WWE, stacking back-to-back global Premium Live Events within a single month.
Do you think Night of Champions should remain in Saudi Arabia this year, or would you rather see it return to a different market? Let us know your thoughts below.
