The General Entertainment Authority and Riyadh Season, under the leadership of His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, in cooperation with WWE, has announced that the Night of Champions Premium Live Event (PLE) will return to Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on June 27th.

Riyadh hosted Night of Champions in 2025, which broke WWE’s US viewership record for a Saudi Arabia event. This year’s edition will once again bring WWE’s biggest Superstars to the Kingdom as part of Riyadh Season’s entertainment calendar.

Alalshikh commented: “We are proud to welcome Night of Champions back to Riyadh and look forward to delivering another unforgettable night of WWE action for fans in the Kingdom and around the world.”

Night of Champions will broadcast live in the US on the ESPN app with an ESPN Unlimited plan, and on Netflix internationally. Tickets will go on sale on April 27th. The event originated in WCW in 2001 during the final episode of WCW Monday Nitro after WWE acquired the assets of WCW along with the name; which would then be used for its inaugural event held in June 2007 and was a crossover with Vengeance titled Vengeance: Night of Champions. The 2026 Night of Champions will be the eleventh time the event has taken place.

In 2027, Saudi Arabia will also host WrestleMania 43 in Riyadh, marking the first time the annual extravaganza will be staged outside of the US and Canada.
