The Full List of New Dates
The new dates give fans in ten cities a chance to see WWE live in the first two months of 2027. The list starts on New Year Day and runs through late February, The full list of dated events confirmed in the reports is in the table below.
| Date | Event | Venue | City |
|---|---|---|---|
| Friday January 1 | WWE Holiday Tour | Grand Casino Arena | St. Paul Minnesota |
| Monday January 4 | Raw | Frost Bank Center | San Antonio Texas |
| Friday January 8 | SmackDown | FedExForum | Memphis Tennessee |

The schedule opens with a live event rather than a television taping. On Friday January 1, the WWE Holiday Tour comes to Grand Casino Arena in St. Paul Minnesota, and those tickets are sold through SeatGeek. The first televised date follows quickly, with Raw at Frost Bank Center in San Antonio Texas on Monday January 4, then SmackDown at FedExForum in Memphis Tennessee on Friday January 8, and Raw at United Center in Chicago Illinois on Monday January 11. After the European tour, SmackDown returns in Portland on January 29 and the Road to Royal Rumble live event follows in Vancouver on January 30, then Raw visits Seattle, Anaheim, and Indianapolis, with SmackDown in Dallas in between. Raw has five of the dated events listed here, plus the sixth Raw date that makes up the eleven announced in total. The two non-televised live events are the Holiday Tour in St. Paul and the Road to Royal Rumble show in Vancouver,
How and When Tickets Go on Sale
Tickets for the new dates go on sale on Wednesday November 11 2026 at 10 am local time. The sale time is local to each event, so fans should check the time for their own city rather than assuming one single start time for the whole country. An exclusive presale starts a day earlier, on Tuesday November 10 at 10 am local time. Presales are often the best chance to get good seats, because the most popular sections can sell fast once the general sale opens.
Fans who want to attend should plan ahead. Pick the date and city that suits you, and set a reminder for the presale on November 10 if you have access to it, or for the general sale on November 11 at 10 am local time. Have your payment details ready before the sale starts, because popular WWE dates can move quickly. Ticket information for all of the new dates is available at WWE.com/Events. The Holiday Tour date in St. Paul is sold through SeatGeek, which is also the ticket seller for the Royal Rumble.
The Gap in the Schedule: The European Tour
Fans who look at the dates will notice a gap. There are no new North American dates from January 15 to January 25, and that is because WWE will be in Europe during that period. The company is running an eight-event Road to Royal Rumble European tour, travelling from Brussels to Dublin. That tour is the reason the North American schedule pauses after the Chicago Raw on January 11 and resumes with SmackDown in Portland on January 29.
The Road to Royal Rumble name is used for both the European tour and the live event in Vancouver on January 30, which ties the whole stretch together. The Vancouver show comes just a week before the Royal Rumble itself, so it is likely to carry the final push of storylines and rivalries into the big event, even though no match card has been announced for it yet.
Royal Rumble Weekend in Glendale
The centrepiece of the early 2027 schedule is the 40th Royal Rumble, which takes place on Saturday February 6 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale Arizona. The Royal Rumble is one of the most popular events of the year, because the Rumble match itself can change the direction of the road to the biggest shows of the spring,
Royal Rumble weekend is more than one night. SmackDown and AAA Road to Rey de Reyes take place at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale on Friday February 5, the night before the Rumble. Tickets for the Royal Rumble follow a different sale schedule from the new dates announced on November 5. Royal Rumble tickets go on sale on Wednesday November 18 at 12 pm ET via SeatGeek. Before that, there is a general presale on November 17 and a Club WWE presale on November 16. Raw remains the home of the top champions and the longest-running weekly rivalries, and our report on Roman Reigns reaching 200 days as WWE World Heavyweight Champion shows how much a long title reign can shape the weekly shows.
What We Know So Far, and What Is Still to Come
So far, the announcement covers dates, venues, and ticket sale times, and nothing more. No match cards have been announced for the new events. WWE usually announces the dates and opens ticket sales first, then builds the cards over the weeks that follow, as storylines develop on Raw and SmackDown.
Recent results give a hint of the form the roster is in as the new year approaches. Our report on Grayson Waller beating CM Punk on NXT on November 4 covers one of the biggest recent results, Live events also have their own appeal. A non-televised show such as the Holiday Tour in St. Paul or the Road to Royal Rumble event in Vancouver can include matches and segments that feel made for the crowd in the building, and our report on Mick Foley, Megan Bayne, and a Blood and Guts career-defining moment is a reminder of how a single live performance can define a career. For now, the practical steps are simple. Check the date that suits you, note the presale on November 10 and the general sale on November 11, both at 10 am local time, and get ticket details at WWE.com/Events.
