As announced by the very nice, very evil Danhausen on WWE Raw on Monday Night, Saturday Night’s Main Event will return to New York City for the first time since 2007 when the marquee event emanates from Madison Square Garden on Saturday, July 18.

The summertime edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event will coincide with the return of Fanatics Fest NYC. The World’s #1 Sports Fan Festival will welcome fans, celebrities and athletes from across the globe to the Javits Center July 16-19.

No WWE Superstars are currently being advertised for Saturday Night's Main Event at MSG, but some of the company's top stars will be in town that weekend to take part in Fanatics Fest. Among them are reigning WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton, Jey Uso, Logan Paul, Women's World Champion Stephanie Vaquer, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, Liv Morgan, and the recently retired John Cena.

The Peacock exclusive special will take place during the run-up to SummerSlam weekend in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Biggest Party of the Summer will happen inside US Bank Stadium on Saturday, August 1 and Sunday, August 2 this year.

Tickets for Saturday Night's Main Event at Madison Square Garden will go on sale starting Thursday, April 2 at 10 a.m. ET  (9 a.m. CT) via Ticketmaster. Fans are also able to purchase tickets through an exclusive presale opportunity which is currently ongoing.
