Royal Rumble 2026 (Womens Rumble)

Live on PPV and Netflix! 1/31!

The 2026 Royal Rumble, also promoted as Royal Rumble: Riyadh, is an upcoming professional wrestling livestreaming event produced by the American company WWE. It will be the 39th annual Royal Rumble and will take place on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at an unnamed temporary outdoor stadium in the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of Riyadh Season, and will be held for wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. This will be the first traditional Royal Rumble to take place outside of North America, the 14th event WWE will hold in Saudi Arabia as part of its 10-year partnership in support of Saudi Vision 2030, the second to feature a Royal Rumble match after Greatest Royal Rumble in April 2018, and the first of WWE's "Big Four" events to take place in the country. It will also be the first Royal Rumble to livestream on the ESPN app in the United States. The event is based around the Royal Rumble match, and the winner traditionally receives a world championship match at that year's WrestleMania.
