WWE has officially confirmed the date and location for Crown Jewel 2026.
During the taped August 31 episode of WWE Raw, the company announced that Crown Jewel will take place on Saturday, November 7, 2026, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Turki Al-Sheikh later promoted the announcement on social media, with the WWE premium live event set to be part of the upcoming Riyadh Season.
Crown Jewel has become a regular fixture on WWE’s premium live event calendar. Recent editions have featured the Crown Jewel Championship concept, which sees the men’s and women’s world champions from Raw and SmackDown face each other to determine the respective Crown Jewel Champions.
The 2025 edition marked a departure from the event’s traditional Saudi Arabian setting, with Crown Jewel taking place in Perth, Australia.
That show featured both the men’s and women’s Crown Jewel Championship matches and also saw John Cena face AJ Styles as part of Cena’s retirement tour.
WWE will now bring Crown Jewel back to Riyadh in November as the company’s relationship with Saudi Arabia continues to expand.
The event will also serve as another major stop in the country ahead of WrestleMania 43, which is scheduled to take place in Riyadh in 2027.
