WWE Reveals Massive Royal Rumble 2026 Tour With 11 Dates

In January of 2026, WWE will bring the Royal Rumble to Saudi Arabia for the first time. Now, we have some idea of what the path there will look like, even if we don't know when the actual show will be as of yet.

WWE announced on Monday morning it will partake in a "Road to Royal Rumble" tour, announcing 11 touring dates through Europe from Jan. 8, 2026 through Jan. 19, 2026.

Of the 11 dates, four of the shows will be live television tapings of both Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.

The tour will lead up to one of WWE's marquee Premium Live Events, the Royal Rumble, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The announcement did not give any additional details about when in January the event will be held, however.

Traditionally, WWE has held its European tours in the month or so after WrestleMania, with an international PLE in the follow-up of the event. However, this will mark a change for the company, as it logistically makes its way across the globe leading into the Saudi Arabia show.

WWE held its Clash in Paris show on Sunday, with John Cena making his final European WWE PLE appearance.
